Perry: "I Don't Think You Have a Heart" If You Oppose In-State Tuition for Children of Illegal

Full title: Perry: "I Don't Think You Have a Heart" If You Oppose In-State Tuition for Children of Illegal Immigrants

Perry's response was forceful and personal. "I don't think you have a heart," Perry told his critics.

"If you say that we should not educate children who come into our state for no other reason than that they've been brought their through no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart," Perry said. "We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society. I think that's what Texans wanted to do. Out of 181 members of the Texas legislature when this issue came up [there were] only four dissenting votes. This was a state issue. Texas voted on it. And I still support it today."

No, they are NOT criminals. They are children of people who broke laws

Right now, illegals are having nearly 1000 anchor babies per month at Dallas Parkland Hospital.

Maybe when Perry is sent back to Texas, illegals at Parkland will be pushing out 2,000 anchor kids per month...

You know, it's, "For the children".

“I guess we should just drive them to the border and dump them on the other side, huh?”

How about at your house? That’s fair since you want to take money out of mine to pay for them. Step up man!

The fact is that these “poor kids” who were brought here by lawbreaking thieves through no fault of their (kids’) own are here BECAUSE of our goodies! This kind of program is why they even come here!

“That is because the Federal Government does not have the Constitutional Authority to pass a national Dream Act.”

Where did you get that line of crap from? Congress voted on the DREAM Act last November and it only failed to pass because of Scott Brown - the one decent thing he did.

You Perry fangirls are unreal.

Obviously it doesn’t matter to you that your laws are also our problem.

People can all bag on Romney but the bottom line is that he sounded more conservative than Rick Perry tonight on a bunch of issues.

- - - - -
That is because he was taught to lie to get what he wants.

NO ROMNEY, EVER!

Under what constitutional authority did the Congress have to pass that law, if they did?

Our nation is drowning in RED INK.

We will NEVER curb the red tide without SERIOUS crackdown on illegal immigration.

You still have not answered - are you for illegal immigration or not? Yes or no.

The Texas Dream act is irrelevant to these kids because they are considered CITIZENS.

Why should the anchor babies be treated better than the 2 year old who was brought here by his parents after being born on the other side of the border?

Liberals in Congress have been trying to pass the DREAM Act for at least 10 years.

Your claim that it would be unconstitutional is laughable.

No, they much prefer your money to theirs. They need theirs to keep buying their dope or whatever don't you know.

Sure thing...

THE APRON

[Lucifer returns as Adam is eating the fruit.]

LUCIFER: That is right.

EVE: [To Adam.] It is better for us to pass through sorrow that we may know the good from the evil. [To Lucifer.] I know thee now. Thou art Lucifer, he who was cast out of Father’s presence for rebellion.

LUCIFER: Yes. You are beginning to see already.

ADAM: What is that apron you have on?

LUCIFER: It is an emblem of my power and priesthoods.

ADAM: Priesthoods?

LUCIFER: Yes, priesthoods.

......

LUCIFER: See—you are naked. Take some fig leaves and make you aprons. Father will see your nakedness. Quick! Hide!

[Lucifer withdraws from view.]

ADAM: Brethren and sisters, put on your aprons.

[He waits until they have done so.]

More details here. http://www.ldsendowment.org/

Having gone through the ceremony it is correct and LDS are buried in their temple aprons (and other temple clothing). Feel free to freepmail me with any other questions about Mormonism.
