This Johnson dude presents himself as a strange flake . . . .
Romney and Perry come off, to me, as typical politicians.
Sorry but Perry is wrong in tuition for illegals. If they’re illegal, they’re out! Otherwise, Perry, which other laws will you ignore?
perry just blew it....again.
That’s a lie.
Perry just got BOOED!
Very good answer by Perry...
Wallace “...building a border along the fence ...”
Huh?
Who’s Ron Paul ?
Never heard of him.
Newt has a lot of talent going to waste. I am not in anybody’s camp yet, but will defend Perry on the border. Why should the citizens of Texas have to spend our tax dollars securing the border? That’s what the Fed is supposed to do. I totally disagree with the Governor on the in-state tuition issue.
From 2001.
Got any later speeches?
I'd like to see that "study".
Yes, Newt needs to be in the next administration.
I would not allow tax payer funds to help illegals.
So would many people - problem is, Supreme Court has ruled that we have to give illegals things.
Completely out of context.
What he actually said was he will be for open borders just as soon as Mexico becomes Canada (i.e., never).
I just don’t effin’ get it...
We can go to the moon and the depths of the oceans but we can’t build a freakin’ fence on our Southern border?
We built two railroads by hand from the Mississippi to the Pacific Coast and drilled through mountains with pitchforks and dynamite and we can’t build a fence?
We can’t put 20,000 heavily armed Border Agents on the border? Night vision goggles, HumVees, Guard Towers with .50 cal machine guns?
We are the USA...all we need is a LEADER to say..GET IT DONE.
WTF ever happened to us???
Palin is not in the race...or hadn’t you noticed?
And it must be noted that the Texas law contains no language that identifies illegal aliens. It is strictly a residency requirement.
hahaha...see even you state he’s been saying..”SECURIG” the Border...no other state has thrown so much money at all of which you state Perry has....it’s not working....
Where there is a good solid fence it has cut immigration 90%! Close the border...pussy footing around securing it hasn’t worked!
