Former A.G. Alberto Gonzales: “Our immigration strategy is, at best, outdated & at worst, non-existent.”
Texas Insider Report: AUSTIN, Texas –
“Every sovereign nation has the authority to determine who can be a citizen and who can be present within its borders. “
“As the nation’s former chief law enforcement officer, and a citizen who believes in the rule of law, I cannot condone anyone coming into this country illegally. We are a nation of laws.”
“When people fail to follow the law with impugnity, it encourages further disobedience & breeds disrespect for the rule of law, and that is not America.”
– Alberto Gonzales, the nation’s 80th Attorney General
speaking to the Austin Economic Club
EDITOR’S NOTE: Alberto Gonzales is a 1973 graduate of Aldine’s MacArthur High School, and Rice and Harvard Universities, and served as White House counsel, and Attorney General under President George W. Bush.
However, in September 2007 Gonzales resigned from the A. G. office, after investigation and criticism of his work by Congress. This included the concern that his firing of eight U. S. attorneys was politically motivated, and his controversial rulings regarding eavesdropping, torture of war detainees, and civil rights issues.
Since then, he has been lecturing and writing a book on his time in office.
