Immigration is at the center of public discourse here, and as we crossed into the behemoth one major question stuck on my mind: What do young people in Texas have to say on the issue? Will they sound like Senator Barack Obama, strongly supporting “a system that allows undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, not violate the law, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens?” Will they take the hard line of the Minutemen, that gun-toting, self-appointed posse of border guardians? Or will their positions be more vague, sounding like Senator John McCain as he tries to maintain his base without alienating the more conservative sector of his party?
To find out, I traversed the state, talking to everyone from McCain supporters at a Fourth of July jubilee to consuls at the Mexican consulate to an intern at the Del Rio border patrol.”*
