The Texas Legislature would not vote on it. The biggest draw back to it (I did some research on this) was that they feared that American Texan Hispanics would be profiled.
They did not want Americans to be profiled. There are millions of multi-generation Texans of Hispanic descent.
Perry put it on the table in the special session and they still would not vote on it. They would not vote on it in the regular session. Only Perry can put bills back on the table in the special session.
He’s not God.
And the fence will not stop illegals. We must, as Perry says, have boots on the ground. And that is going to take the Federal Government doing it’s job. Texas does not have millions and billions to spend to protect the entire Nation.
Texas does spend millions now but it is not enough. The fence would take years and cost billions. Then it would fail.
See the you tube showing how the fence has worked in CA and AZ.

Let me see if I get this right: Perry created a protected Class, The/his Hispanics who would be insulted MIND YOU for having to show ID, Is that right?
Clue; I show ID to law enforcement and my ancestors were here long before the War of American Independence,I will shed a tear for these Perry Dears for having to obey our laws.\s
The fence is WAY cheaper than paying for this disease and invasion.
With probable cause asking someone if they have permission or authorization to be in the USA is part of a sensible national security program. So now Americans blood and guts are all over the roadways in alien-driving and that’s a more sensible approach? Fed Codes mandate the carrying of green cards on your person
at all times. If the lawmakers were worried about the HISPANIC-AMERICANS being profiled WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO WORRY ABOUT THE AMERICANS as a total group?The Hispanics are the ones getting caught in child-sex slave rings operating under the radar.They killed the bill when grocer Charles Butt,Bob Perry homebuilder,Norm Adams & menopause doctor Hotze made some calls & e-mails at the 99th hour. Every lawmaker that ‘worried” about profiling needs to be fired by the voters.
Total cop out.
