Take a look at the “special” status awarded to the children of illegals by the Supreme Court in my post #43.

Perry addresses these judges in “Fed Up!,” in “Chapter Six, Nine Judges That Tell Us How to Live,” and in “Chapter Seven, The Federal Government Fiddles: Ignoring National Security, Immigration, and the Enumerated Powers.”

He also would not give us amnesty. From pages 1118-119 (Kindle PC edition):
“”We can have all the immigration debates we want, but Americans are demanding that the border be secured first.
We have already been burned once by false promises of border security in exchange for tying security to other aspects of the immigration debate. President Regan, in 1986, signed the immigration reform and control act, which legalized close to 3 million undocumented immigrants. The law was supposed to be a comprehensive solution with provisions intended to clamp down on border security. These provisions were never enforced, and the subsequent explosion in illegal crossings has resulted in some 11 million illegal aliens living in the United States today an estimated 1.8 million illegal immigrants are currently residing in Texas, compared with 1.1 million in 2000. In ten years, that represents an increase of 54 percent or 70,000 persons each year coming to our state illegally. Today, the Pew Hispanic Center estimates than about one in ten people born in Mexico live in the United States. And all of this has occurred outside the system and to the disadvantage of others who have been waiting in line for many years. There are literally millions of people waiting to get into the country legally.””

He would appoint judges in the Federal Courts and at the Supreme Court who would not prohibit identifying and deporting illegals, but even more, his Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security would secure the border and enforce laws, so that the States wouldn’t be burdened with the costs of illegals in the first place. He’s lived with the consequences of the opposite decision by
