Perhaps you would deign to enlighten us with one or two that you do buy.
I've heard some theories that it goes back to his days before becoming Governor of Texas - his business partners and the like who might stand to benefit from this. This is very plausible - he has friends, including friends of his father, that were in many different industries, that would benefit from some kind of amnesty program. As well, he was very pro-active when it came to being friends with Mexico, during his days as Governor.
There's another theory, and we are discussing this in the
Texas room - that it ties into NASCO, which is basically a super transportation corridor from Mexico City up through Canada. Texas, under Rick Perry, is off to a fairly fast start on our leg of it (without much public input, and the input that has been given, has been ignored - Perry's folks ramrodded this thing through). Very secure borders with no tolerance for illegals would slow up NASCO big-time (especially with the inland ports in North Texas and Kansas).
