CAVEAT from the YouTube poster: "It was a windy day in Austin, June 13 when Tea Party activists gathered for an anti-immigrant rally on the steps of the Capitol. The wind makes part of Rebecca Forest's speech inaudible. So here it is.

Her email is rebecca@womenonthewall.com

Rebecca Forrester the co-founder of "Women on the Wall" said that "part of the problem" behind the inability of the Texas legislature to pass a crack down on illegal immigrants is "because Texas has... 36 Hispanics in the legislature." Too many, she suggests, to pass a meaningful reform bill as the matter is "too close to them."

It's a remark that Luis Vera, the National General Counsel for LULAC says crosses the line."There was no reason for that comment, we can disagree on being Democrat or Republican but she's drawing it straight down racial lines and nothing else," says Vera.

The comments are also sparking condemnation from Hispanics in the legislature like State Representative Armando Walle. "We are proud Americans and many of us were born in this country and have generations and generations in this country and that type of mentality doesn’t deserve a response," says Walle.
