"Since the recession began, desperate job seekers have flocked to Texas at a clip of roughly 1,000 people per day.
And they're finding work, too.
Despite a huge population influx and a bruising national recession, Texas' unemployment rate remains below the national average.
How remarkable has the Lone Star State's economic performance been?"
I refer you to
post #184.

" ... Analysis of Current Population Survey (CPS) data collected by the Census Bureau show that immigrants (legal and illegal) have been the primary beneficiaries of this growth since 2007, not native-born workers.
This is true even though the native-born accounted for the vast majority of growth in the working-age population (age 16 to 65) in Texas.
Thus, they should have received the lions share of the increase in employment.
As a result, the share of working-age natives in Texas holding a job has declined in a manner very similar to the nation a whole.

If nearly half the of the jobs Perry claims to have created went to illegal aliens, this statistic coupled with the governors willingness to give non-citizens a free ride on education, reflects an astounding lack of seriousness and leadership on these issues.
As conservatives continue to discover Perrys real record in Texas, they continue to be disappointed in what they find.
Yeah, Perry creating lots of jobs for ILLEGALS.

Good Post.
And now Special-Needs Ricky wants to bring his rewards-for-illegals practices to the rest of our homeland.
Hope that his chickening out of the debates collapses his candidacy even quicker.
