This is the real problem. Perry’s decisions and inactions on illegal immigration are by default seceding Texas RIGHT BACK INTO THE GRIP OF MEXICO!
“This is the real problem. Perry’s decisions and inactions on illegal immigration are by default seceding Texas RIGHT BACK INTO THE GRIP OF MEXICO!”
EXACTLY. His lip-service now regarding being tough on illegals TOTALLY CONTRADICTS his policies as governor (at least for his first 8 years here, then a bit of movement just before he announced). And his heartless comment revealed how he still feels about illegals and particularly the people that have problems with illegals.
Given the choice of becoming a Mexican state (i.e., independence, the way our governor is setting it up), or instead to leach off of Washington, DC (i.e., California model), I’ll still take the California model.
But ideally, we get a conservative for president, and then a conservative for governor in 2014. We crack down, and then Texas remains the great place it is for another generation.
Nope
We fought that war and won, remember.
Texas may own Mexico but Mexico will never own Texas again.
Funny thing is, the reason we fought that war against Mexico are the same reasons we are mad as hell at Wash DC right now.
I live in Texas too. I don’t really get this open hostility towards Perry on immigration. He’s had a mixed bag, but really honed in on the border security piece since 2006. I tried to chronicle his entire record on it here, good, bad or great: http://rickperryreport.com/faq/rick-perry-illegal-immigration
If you can provide verifiable evidence to the contrary of what’s there, please fill me in.
Otherwise, I’ll assume you’re living inside an asylum in Texas, unaffected by what’s really going on in our state (-;
