He's from a huge border state. Perry has boots on the ground, and doing what he can to keep illegals out. A state can't do it alone. The Feds are worthless.
It's like having a stray dog hanging around your house. You can't shoot it. It won't leave. The dog catcher won't do anything about it, and if it doesn't get food, it's going to get mean. You have a choice. Feed it outside and let it live out there and maybe come in handy someday, or try to fight off a raving, starving dog with your own bare hands.

Granted, I don't believe illegals should get anything at all. That way, there would be no incentive for them to come here. We wouldn't need boots or fences. AND - it would all be free! It wouldn't cost the American tax payer one red penny! Unfortunately,when it comes to D.C., - "It's the votes, stupid."

Limbaugh’s on in about an hour and a half and he’ll have plenty of excuses for Perry

“He’s from a huge border state. Perry has boots on the ground, and doing what he can to keep illegals out.”

Jan Brewer and Susana Martinez are border state governors working to keep illegals out; Rick Perry (aka George W. Bush, Jr.) is not.

Good analogy.

Then Perry is pretending to have a “heart” until he gets to the Federal level? Then he will ENFORCE THE LAW?
Honestly, he is all squishy when it comes to illegals or at least the children of same.
Otherwise, he would say stuff like “I would fine any college who knowing admits an illegal” or I would fine empolyers for hiring illegals”
or “I will build a fense”
