Gov. Rick Perry sounded some familiar themes in a speech today at the National Council of La Raza conference in San Antonio.
Some of the governor's remarks were aimed at appealing to nearly 2,000 audience members who sat waiting to hear about his positions on immigration reform, Arizona's controversial law and raising the quality of life for Latinos.
After hitting his typical points by touting job creation and the state's economic standing, Perry briefly touched on the new Arizona law that has been criticized by some who say it encourages racial profiling and discrimination.
He said the law "may be right for Arizona but it ain't exactly right for Texas."
The comment drew applause from attendees though Perry did not specifically say what part of the law was not "exactly right" for the state. He also did not make any promises to veto similar legislation in the state.
Perry repeated his criticism of the federal government's approach to border security. He said Texas has invested in keeping its residents safe from spillover violence because the federal government failed in its duty.
And, he said, the federal government's failure to secure the border is the reason states like Arizona have taken on immigration policy.
"Until America secures the border, a rational debate on immigration policy is not going to happen," Perry said

Well I think it means that the illegal aliens will NOT have to travel all the way up to Illinois for refuge, the Red carpet and FREE services.
They will just have to go right next door to Texas.
Again, she has more right to talk “smack” then you. When you do 1/10 of what she has done, then get back to me.
It ain’t exactly right - ya gotta replace all those “Arizona” references with “Texas”. THEN it’ll be exactly right.

Good Post
So you bend over and be a girly?
Sorry, Smedly. This is Texas.
Dissing the one guy we have that can defeat Bill White cuts no ice here.
Lets just say she does more than sit behind the computer
Good for her. She can do it without trying to hand the governor's office to Bill White.
Ill assume you do not know much about chicagolady
You can assume whatever you like, Yankee.
Than. The word is "than".
And what the hell do you know anyway? Some woman moves to Texas
and all of a sudden she's better than sliced bread? I think not.
When you do 1/10 of what she has done, then get back to me.
Move to another state to further my political "career"?
Again, I think not. You feel free to worship this glory hound.
Me, I'll oppose her here in Texas.
Yankee punk.
And not to pick on Texas, let's face it, all states are fighting a war on all sides. Any state can get inundated.
But as a fella who lives in the country, I am not naive enough to think that a state, region or town, no matter the reputation, cannot be taken over by illegals.
she has more right to talk smack then you
Knows more about Texas, does she?
She has more stones than 99% of the men here
Better than us natives, is she?
Sorry, bud, but that kind of imported Yankee arrogance does NOT fly here.
So far I've seen a few...lol
Ya got the top Texas politician going in front of a known racist organization like La Raza, and this isn't news?
lol....
The censoring attempts at certain articles involving certain states are amazing...
If this were California, it would front page and posted 25 times per week for 3 weeks.
yuk, yuk, yuk...
Perry has always been an open borders queen. The woman is pathetic.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHHAAHAHAH
Ya got to love party groupies and glaring pathetic hypocritical comments like this.....
Just the fact that the governor appears at this organization, and provides a speech, lends credence and legitimacy to this racist, pro-illegal alien organization.
Hello? Anyone home?
“By the way, why would this be in chat?
Ya got the top Texas politician going in front of a known racist organization like La Raza, and this isn’t news?”
Probably, and sadly, because it’s not really news anymore. It’s commonplace for politicians and Corps to, as humbelgunner suggested, “bend over” for the powerful and feared LaRaza.
dragnet, if we had written a movie script about what is going on the last few years regarding immigration and who is being called evil and racist today; then time machined back to mid 70s for US audiences, we would have been called crackpot, tin foil jokes.
The only two who I recall seeing on the ballot were Kay Bailey and Medina. I know my eye sight isn’t as good as it once was, but if you are calling either of them Conservative, then your problem is obviously something other than aging eyesight.
Only because your silent, and accept this.
As I said, if this were California, it would front page and posted 25 times per week for 3 weeks....But since this is Texas....Lets not kid each other....lol
Its commonplace for politicians a bend over for the powerful and feared LaRaza.
They're corrupt. What's new...And you accept this?
They are only emboldened because of people just like you who feel this is now just, "Commonplace...Not news worthy anymore...Just the way it is....Accept it"
Sorry, I'll be dead before start drooling in a cup like everyone else seems to be, while accepting their own defeat, while selling their priciples to the highest bidder.
Not me friend.
I think you misunderstood my post so badly I’ll just say - take care.
That's why I bailed out of the corrupt Republican party con game...
Vote for the better of two evil?
Profits regardless of consequences?
Compromise over principle?
Just accept?
We've heard them all....
I'm not going along....No sale.
Why not?
Ya had the pro-open borders Bush's go down there from the northeast and told ya how to do things....
Ping!
