It just occurred to me, why Perry takes his position on immigration that he does. He was Texas Agriculture Commissioner. He's a rancher/farmer.

He wants illegals in Texas for the agriculture industry as cheap labor.

Perry simply doesn't realize that he's running for President of the United States and needs to do what's best for the entire US, not the parochial interests of Texas agriculture.

The Federal Government has been about destroying this country with its polices for several decades.

Allowing rampant illegal immigration is one way to destroy it. Obama's the fast track, while Bush/McCain were destroying the country at a slower pace.

Fortunately for American and unfortunately for Perry, allowing illegal immigration is a deal-breaker for a majority of GOP voters. Destroying the country through illegal immigration or destroying the country through Statism of the Obamaniac variety is still destroying the country.

Perry's going down, unless he turns around on this issue.

It is the Federal government's responsibility to secure the border. What is "non" border state politician Obama doing about it but turning his back on Rick Perry when he went to meet him on the tarmac in Austin with a letter -- after being denied a meeting?

While that's an interesting take on it, and one that has been discussed in the past and bears repeating, Rick Perry's biggest donor is a homebuilder. Another billionaire that has backed Perry is a Democrat grocer. Anytime something smells fishy with Perry, look at his donors or look and see if any of his friends are involved.
