I don’t know if you are addressing all that to me or just using me to post but you’re not doing Perry any good nor are you going to convince me. Perry is for open borders, said so himself, is for the TTC, said so himself, and encourages illegals in Texas. Along with that he cozies up to Muslims. Ain’t no way I could ever be convinced to support or even vote for anyone like that.
Perry is only for open borders in the way he is for open borders with Canada.
He had a lot of restrictions that he imposed on Mexico before they can have an open border with us.
The TTC would have restricted Mexican trucks while satisfying NAFTA.
As to encouraging illegals, I think that is a bit far fetched.
Perry passed an unvetoable bill that allowed some children of illegals to PAY in state tuition rates.
The Texas legislation voted on it almost unanimously and Texas State comptroller Susan Combs says that the legislation actually lowers the fiscal burden on Texans.
