Let me put this into context. It isn't that Texas is a border state that unemployment has risen, it's because 1300 (up from 1000 last year) people daily move to Texas from other states.

As a result, more people are unemployed in Texas today – 1,036,563 – than were unemployed when Perry took office – 442,929. That means Texas’ unemployment rate, while still below the national average, nearly has doubled under Perry’s leadership: 8.1 percent today, up from 4.2 percent when Perry took office.

“I don’t think that Texas has been immune to the recession the country is going through as a whole,” Jennings said. “They definitely have some issues being a border state – unique issues. I think the numbers are reflective of that.”

Last night on Judge Jeanine (Fox) Gov. Huckabee singled out Gov. Perry for praise and Gov. Palin said that JOBS will be the issue to focus on in this election.
