People keep saying that ‘his stance on immigration.’
It’s totally without merit. He has a plan to control the border and I think it’s workable.
He is absolutely against illegal immigration. Too many people are focusing on the in-state tuition thing which is a flyspeck and not worthy of thinking about. It was a pragmatic decision by the Texas legislature and a well-thought out one. It costs us nothing and could help in the long run.
We cannot reasonably expect to snap fingers and get rid of all the illegals. Newt pointed that out also.
I would deport immediately any illegal who violates the law. I would include any drug possession (at all) and any other offenses except for speeding tickets. On speeding I would have a three times you’re out position. But any DWI, for example, you’re out.
We can’t do this unless we get rid of the current administration. They have shot down every state that’s tried to do things on their own.
Perry’s “stance on immigration” also includes his decision to approve in-state tuition for illegals’ kids.
Anything that creates a magnet effect — as that does — incentivizing illegals to cross our southern border should be a no-go.
“I would deport immediately any illegal who violates the law.”
I support Perry but illegals should be jailed for a long period if they violate the law. And we should use Arpaio style jails for them. Rough.
