Thanks for the link. I had been to the site several times but not recently. I hope they don’t mind if it post this here.
From the website...
“Delegates buck Perry on immigration law Fired-up Republican activists in no mood for compromises bucked Gov. Rick Perry on Saturday by pushing for a crackdown on illegal immigration similar to Arizona’s new law.
The proposal was one of several platform initiatives debated as delegates wrapped up the two-day convention. The platform is a nonbinding blueprint of the policies that GOP activists want elected officials to pursue.
The immigration proposal, a hard-line approach that Perry has said isn’t right for Texas, advocates for a state law that would bar illegal immigrants from “intentionally or knowingly” living in Texas.
Similar to Arizona’s strict law, the proposal would require local police to verify U.S. residency when making arrests.
Perry has said such a law would unduly burden police.
American Patrol Report Comment
Rick Perry is an open-borders, no enforcement liberal and Sarah Palin should never have endorsed him. His $250 million “Texas Border Security Council” boondoggle earned him a “pants on fire” award. His policies will erase the border.”
What a freaking joke! The next time anyone hears any Repbulican that has been in office say how committed they are to border security they need to be shown this map and these pictures.
Nothing like the truth staring you in the face as a wake up call. Newt Gingrich gave a speech recently about 2+2=4. Newt needs to learn a math lesson on the state of our border.
The more I think about this the madder I get at the Republican party.
Any candidate running for office that does not make a strong stand in favor of Arizona's law and for real border security first will NOT get my vote!
