You are correct it is of Italian origin. It was originally spelled
Talia-Ferro. However, the first set of Taliaferro's arrived in Alexandria,
Virginia in 1756 from England as English citizens having been there for 3
generations. All of us, with the exception of the native American Indian are
imported from other countries. It is one thing to allow imports when the
western USA boundry was somewhere along the Mississippi River and the rest
of the country was still pretty much wilderness and there a real need. Not
so today and my ancestors didn't get welfare, food stamps or free medical.
Nor did they enter the country illegally.

When my family moved here in 1950 the Houston population was a whopping
250,000. Bellaire was the extreme west side of town. When you crossed the RR
tracks and entered Bellaire, you had left Houston behind. Westheriner Road
really was a Farm to Market road, FM1093, there was no such thing as the
Gulf Freeway, I-45N, I-10, US-59, 610 or any other freeway in Houston. Lake
Houston was a good hour to hour and a half drive. Most people took the train
to Galveston for fifty cents instead of driving on "old" highway 90. The
Shamrock Hilton and The Warwick Hotel were the ritziest places in town.
Things change over time.

If you don't like the laws, lobby to change them, until then, enforce them
as they were written.

Now, back to my remark, can we afford to continue absorbing the immigrants
or not?
