Not especially, but since the Feds refuse to seal the border and the other states don’t seem interested in taking any of our illegals, we can either educate them or put them on welfare. If we put them on welfare that will be less money for us. Better to have them in the system working and paying taxes sad to say. It’s easy for you people north of the Mason Dixon line who have no clue of the reality of our border to second guess our decisions. But hey, even with the burden of supporting half of Mexico we are still doing extremely well. I don’t know anybody who is or has been out of work, nobody has watched their home’s value fall, etc. Governor Perry deserves a great deal of credit for that.
There’s a 3rd option, you can take away all the gubmint benefits until they self deport.
“we can either educate them or put them on welfare”
Good. Maybe they’ll educate themselves on how to make a one way trip across the Rio Grande.
