When you get the full picture of Perry, after he has been vetted, you will be throwing something, Onyx, but it will be “at” him rather than “to” him and it won’t be your support. LOL

ROTFLOL. Well, I am looking forward to learning more about him. I hope I'm not disappointed.

“The DREAM Act, well see, the immigrants of the past, they had to literally and figuratively stand in line to become U.S. citizens,” said Palin. “I’d like to see that continue, and unfortunately the DREAM Act kind of usurps that, the system.”

Gee, maybe I shouldn't have taken it for granted that any reader would take it on faith that along with dumping minimum wage and dumping all the freebies we taxpayer give to illegals, that there would also be AS HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE LAW in any case, prosecution against illegals. The problem has NEVER been lack of prosecution; lack of prosecution came after the fact. The CAUSE is very high wages for non-skilled labor in combination with all kinds of government freebies. Illegals are now here in such great numbers that prosecution is like trying to kill an entire bee hive of 80 million bees one bee at a time: a losing battle. The answer lies ELSEWHERE.

Dumping minimum wage (along with reducing or eliminating all kinds of other regulations employers have to observe with regard to employees) would work MIRACLES in every aspect of the economy. Teen employment would boom. Employment of unskilled but intelligent Americans would boom. Employers could afford to pay workers what they were worth. Have you ever been to Mexico and seen the cities of cardboard boxes? Whole suburbs? A hardworking Mexican kid18 or 20 who snuck up to the states, rent a super-cheap motel room with two friends, and get -- and hold on to -- a 40-hr-week job as a dishwasher in a Denny's -- you had better bet your ass that that kid is going to show up for work. Chances are he and his roomies are sending most of the money back to Mexico to their families.

Their competition for those jobs is dominated by immature kids, drop-outs, unskilled, who hate being a dishwasher, think it's beneath them, keep the job for maybe four months before quitting, because minimum wage to them is nothing. Drop that minimum wage (along with the freebies), and the illegal Mexican doesn't have nearly the motivation to come here. And the employer sure as hell doesn't have the motivation, especially if the INS is on his back, to hire illegals. He can hire American kids. If minimum wage went down, the price of EVERYTHING would go down. So a teenager working for what he was worth, would have money worth something.

Since 2009, Gov. Perry has repeatedly urged the federal government, through conversations with and letters to President Barack Obama, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, to approve his request for 1,000 Title 32 National Guardsmen to support civilian law enforcement efforts to enhance border security in Texas. On Monday, Gov. Perry reiterated that request in a four-page letter he presented to President Obama as he arrived for an appearance in Austin. In the absence of adequate federal resources, Texas has proactively addressed border security with state funding, resources and personnel to protect our citizens. The State of Texas has committed more than $230 million over the last several years to amplify border security efforts and to shut down transnational gangs that work for Mexican drug cartels.

Texas has 64% of the border and receives 20% of federal funding to protect it.

I am their professor. How old are you? I’m thinking an old guy, if you don’t understand the use of the word “haters.”

I like Palin. I hope she’s Perry’s VP and believe that’s why she’s being coy about whether or not she’ll run. No one is trying to tear Palin down as much as point out that like Perry, she is imperfect. Perhaps you have missed the anti-Perry spammers and trolls so active in the last 24 hours? It’s been an all-out assault on those of us who like Perry. I appreciated Clairity’s post, not because it brought down Palin or brought “up” Perry, but because it smacked the Perry-haters in the face. That’s all.

Would that be the Webster’s “haters” or the Urban “haters”?

This is the problem in general with candidates. When you’re a short-term governor of a minor-league state and don’t have to deal with any national issues like immigration, all there is to go on is what you say or what you Facebook post. Experienced politicians like Perry have to actual DO something, not just retweet.

“E-Verify doesn’t work against the illegal’s gold standard — fake i.d. = E-Verify does not work.”

Please explain. If Jose uses a fake ID with someone else’s SS# (say, John Smith), why wouldn’t an E-Verify search send up a red flag to the employer that Jose’s SS# does not match the name of John Smith?

Not a chance. She won't run with a McCain redux.

No one is trying to tear Palin down

Shall I quote some of your posts? With links to them?

I appreciated Clairity’s post, not because it brought down Palin or brought “up” Perry, but because it smacked the Perry-haters in the face.

You came on with both guns blazing. Nice back peddling though.
