SAN ANTONIO — Invoking the spirit of the Alamo, a Republican congressman from Texas with a prominent role in the immigration debate vowed Monday to overcome the political challenges to reform.
“The president’s set you up and you’re going to stick your neck out,” said Rep. John Carter, describing fears he has heard from members of his own party. “I’m kind of like Davy Crockett: They can go to hell and I’ll go to Texas.”
