“If the veto-proof majority makes the signing of the voter ID meaningless, why even mention the “DREAM ACT” that passed with near-unanimous votes in 2001 and 2005?”

Heck, I didn’t even know we had our own Dream Act until recently. I mention it now, not because of how it passed back then, when we were all compassionate, but because there has been a national debate on the topic and its now more than clear that it is simply a MAGNET for Illegals, and the best thing to do would be to scuttle it here in Texas. But no talk of that, not even a whisper.

Don't be fooled by the pro-Perry, pro-illegal alien crowd. Perry supported the Texas Dream Act then and Perry supports it now. And his support had nothing to do with it being veto proof.

We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.”
