#1\u00a0 You know you’ve met a real Texan . . .<\/p>\n
He greets the August heat with, “Ah, this is why I live in Texas.”<\/p>\n

#2\u00a0 You know you’ve met a real Texan . . .<\/p>\n
His views on citizenship and immigration are very clear:<\/p>\n
+GOD<\/p>\n
+GUNS<\/p>\n
+FENCE<\/p>\n
+FRIENDSHIP<\/p>\n
+ENGLISH*<\/p>\n
+EARN**<\/p>\n
If you want to join us, believe all this, become a Texan.<\/p>\n
*We can forgive you if you can’t speak Texan because you weren’t born here, but native Texans (and new) speak English.<\/p>\n
**That means WORK.\u00a0 In Texas you can sweat without working, but you can’t work without sweating.<\/p>\n
Note:\u00a0 Except for a fence on the south, these views apply to immigration across any Texas border.<\/p>\n
And, we practice what we preach on all the above.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
#4\u00a0 You know you’ve met a real Texan . . .<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
#5\u00a0 You know you’ve met a real Texan . . .<\/p>\n
He believes it is time for Texas to close our embassy in Washington and expel all U.S. “diplomats” from our country.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
