Dennis thinks he might be toast based on his immigration answer last night.

From the law, here are the eligibility criteria:
SECTION 2. Section 54.052, Education Code, is amended by adding Subsection (j) to read as follows:
(j) Notwithstanding any other provision of this subchapter, an individual shall be classified as a Texas resident until the individual establishes a residence outside this state if the individual resided with the individual's parent, guardian, or conservator while attending a public or private high school in this state and:
(1) graduated from a public or private high school or received the equivalent of a high school diploma in this state;
(2) resided in this state for at least three years as of the date the person graduated from high school or received the equivalent of a high school diploma;
(3) registers as an entering student in an institution of higher education not earlier than the 2001 fall semester; and
(4) provides to the institution an affidavit stating that the individual will file an application to become a permanent resident at the earliest opportunity the individual is eligible to do so.
I thought Bush's policies towards illegals as Tx governor were just something necessary to win at the local level, too, and expected he'd evolve his perspective on the border commensurate with his duties as the chief executive. He didn't.
Its too crucial an issue.
And I’ll say this: for a supposed tenth amendment states right sort of crowd - you know, that 50 separate laboratory concept that is what inspired the founders to a Federalist system in the first place (Ok, there weren’t 50 at the time) — there are some around here who refuse to believe that a governor or former governor could possibly mean it.
Chris Christis is very pro-illegals.
He’s wrong. We’re better off deporting them. Revoke citizenship.
touche! LoL
The majority of jobs created in Texas went to illegals under LBJ Perry.
Perry said TX could NOT pass a law like Arizona’s. I hear this from some Texans. “Oh are illegals are not like CA’s illegals - our Mexicans are well behaved.” I guess TX MS-13 is a kinder and gentler MS-13. Texas will be like Calif in 20 years.
Rick Santorum gets the islamic danger, unlike Christie, and is against illegal immigration.
No, not correct.
The guest worker program people were proposing would be available to people living in Mexico who applied for the program in Mexico and traveled here for work for a short period of time and then returned home.
Perry’s plan is to take the illegals here now and legalize them by calling them “guest workers.”
If that went through then politically speaking it would not be possible to deny that group voting rights for very long. The logic that if these families have the right to legally live here, raise their families here, work here, pay taxes here and so forth will not fly with the American people that they should not be entitled to vote in the elections in their place of residence. Americans are not big on the idea of “second class citizens.” That could fly in Germany with the Turks, but not here.
>>> Its not necessarily true but I’m unwilling to take the chance. >>>
Fair enough. I think I disagree with you, but that’s a valid point with some basis and does not set my “logic radar” off.
Well deportation is up to ICE.
Last time I looked, that is the FED.
I don't necessarily want to offer in state tuition/rewards to folks from other states...but, I'd rather that "incentive" go to a US citizen before going to illegal aliens. It's an analogy.
Don’t know about anyone else but Newt Gingrich blows them all away and as of right now, he’s my guy. All the others put together can’t match his knowledge, historical ability, how the government works from he inside out. I think he should be considered a national treasure right now and I have no idea why the Republicans need to look any further.
Watch the 2008 debates. Barry ran rings around McCain.
Barry may be the Teleprompter president but we aren’t going to beat him with George Bush’s illiterate stunt double in Perry.
First of all, the issue is ILLEGAL immigration, NOT immigration.

The illegal aliens and their AMNESTY enablers are anti-immigration....
This has nothing to with immigration...
I was really happy that he decided to run, I even have my “Perry-President” bumper sticker. I was very pro-Perry and defended him on every thread that Cinciantuswife (or what eve her name is)posted on this board, but now it’s going to take some convincing me to vote for him, given that answer last night.
His answer pissed me off. I am NOT heartless for not advocating instate tuition to an illegal slug who sneaks into this country. That’s BS!
I will not argue your points about the guest worker program because it sounds like you’ve done your homework.
But I will say this to the hardest of the hard liners on immigration: now all of your friends who have been waiting to some how break into the exciting lawn mowing and bed changing and vegetable picking industries — well — they will now all have these fabulous opportunities opening up to them. I cannot wait to see the countryside filled with white guys and black guys mowing lawns and so on.
After all, the UAW and the SEIU and so on have shown us how fabulous Americans are at routine rote manual labor jobs and how much they love them. This will be - how does Beck say it? fan TAS tic.

Az’s law is a load of hooey.
It has accomplished nothing.
There is more illegal immigration there now than there was when Nappytano was in charge.
I don’t blame that on Jan Brewer but it is the truth.
Santorum may not have a lick of charisma, but I’m beginning to lean his way, too. He’s been flying under the radar and that may be just the trick.
