I hope you are right, but Perry, Dewhurst, and their RINO buddies have lied about doing something serious in the past. Perhaps they are fearful enough of the Tea Party that they will move on it.
I’d like to be wrong about this.
If there's one good thing about Perry, it's that he'll bow to public pressure, if enough is applied. The public pressure to lock down the Texas/Mexico border is there. It just hasn't been unleashed on Perry yet.
Our legislature will pass an Arizona-style anti-illegal immigration bill in the new session, and Perry will sign it, or all hell will break loose. I don't think he'll put up a fight, though. He's already making pro-enforcement noises. He's tested the wind, and is moving in that direction.
