It seemed like an interesting coincidence that Perry considered the sanctuary cities legislation to be important enough to call a special session for, but then he's conveniently out of state when it's being killed off with help from his biggest donors, one of whom is a home builder, the other a grocer, two industries that benefit from illegal immigration.

Time for you to eat CROW!

In anticipation of the usual comments, I did a search for the 2010 contributions of HEB and Perry Homes and found:

2010 With the notable exception of Lamar Smith (R), mostly Democrat giving, including a PAC contribution for Sen Chuck Schumer (D-NY), also gave to Bill White (D) who lost in his 2010 gubenatorial challenge to Rick Perry – DIDN'T FIND Rick Perry: Charles Butt [HEB CEO] Political Campaign Contributions 2010 Election Cycle [HEB is the largest private company (grocer) in Texas]

2010 With the exception of $1K to Shelia Jackson-Lee and Gene Green -- both democrats, ALL GOP giving but DIDN'T FIND Rick Perry: Bob Perry Political Campaign Contributions 2010 Election Cycle -- Bobby Jack Perry (Bob J. Perry); Houston, Texas homebuilder, owner of Perry Homes, and major contributor to a number of 527 groups: Swift Vets and POWs for Truth and the Economic Freedom Fund. ---- In 2010, Perry donated $7 million to the 527 group American Crossroads -- largest single donation that the organization has received to date -- they primarily work to elect Republican legislators; is a member of the Heritage Club. Donated to Tom DeLay’s Texans for a Republican Majority and to Tom DeLay’s defense. In 2006, Perry was the largest political donor in Texas. 2006 donations included nearly $400,000 to the campaign of GOP Governor Rick Perry (no relation).

On a side note, HEB CEO Charles Butt is a piker compared to Perry Homes CEO Bob Perry's giving.

So you just proved my point that Bob Perry is Rick Perry's biggest donor, something that is a commonly known fact in Texas. I don't understand why you are proving my point or why you proved that Perry is friendly towards illegal immigrants in the other post. I've posted links showing that Bob Perry has donated millions of dollars to Rick Perry over the years and that Bob Perry and the HEB guy helped end the sanctuary cities bill, but again, thanks for the effort, I guess? I really think you need to look up the definition of eating crow though.

You backing me up is kind of bizarre, and it must be backwards day, but I'd still like you to address the fact that some of Perry's richest donors, including Perry's biggest donor, helped kill off the sanctuary cities legislation, and that Perry considered it so important that it warranted a special session of the Texas legislature, but not important enough for Perry to stop campaigning in California and come back and try to keep it alive.
