President Ronald Reagan was the first president in history to grant amnesty to illegal aliens. On November 6, 1986, he signed into law the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, [PUB L 99-603]. In so doing, he set a precedent whereby the United States would not seek to deport illegal aliens, but to reward their lawbreaking by granting them full citizenship.
Perry wants passage of a measure requiring every person arrested to be run through the federal immigration databases as part of the Secure Communities program. He also wants to provide the state Department of Public Safety with the authority to make sure someone is in the U.S. legally before issuing a driver’s license.
>These measures, along with a ban on sanctuary cities, would “provide a clear message that Texas will not turn a blind eye to those breaking our laws,” Perry said in a statement.
“Texas owes it to the brave law enforcement officials, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our families and communities, to give them the discretion they need to adequately do their jobs,” Perry said.

>Gov. Perry has made numerous requests of the federal govt. to enforce the border in Texas including handing President Obama a letter in person when he landed in Dallas last year.
(Obama insulted governor Perry when he turned away and Perry had to hand the letter on the illegals issue to presidential adviser Valerie Jarrett. Obama declined to personally accept it.)
>Gov. Perry refuses to meet/greet Obama in May 2011 at El Paso during his Texas tour.
Perry later declared, “If he wanted to meet, I was in Austin.
>Perry signed into law photo ID required before voting.
NEWSFLASH! None of them are going to do much.
We have to take the best of the lot.

Well then name a state with a Republican governor and a TWO THIRDS Republican legislature that cannot even get a watered-down Sanctuary City bill passed.
Yes, I know, the apologists say it wasn’t the Magnificent Governor’s fault, no - it was those bad boys in the legislature that just wouldn’t do it. You know all those Republicans that had been conservatives ALL their political careers, but JUST changed into RINOs once we needed their votes.
Well, pal, if Perry cannot get a water-down Sanctuary City bill passed with a 2/3’s MAJORITY (or close enough) in BOTH houses of the legislature, what the hell use will he be in DC, where he’ll be lucky to even have any majority at all in the Congress?
Bottom line - some of us are NOT FOOLED and we know full-well that Perry despises getting into a fight about immigration and would rather follow the Bush-43, open-borders, route.
Alabama passed the nation’s toughest new immigration law.
