I say let Rick do his thing and lets see how it turns out. A lot of Freepers might be surprised. Somebody call Beck and tell him where to deliver the teddy bears and soccer balls.
“housed until their case is adjudicated”
How about immediate deportation? If you enter illegally you are summarily deported. Period.
The State of Texas can’t deport anyone but it can hold them until Texas begins to look like Gitmo. The move for Perry is NEVER To mention the words immigration or borders - say NOTHING about that BUT charge them with simple trespass on Texas State land. They can’t properly identify themselves and any police officer knows those who are arrested for misdemeanors and up have to identify themselves before they can be released. Once the fingerprinting and photographing starts the bad guys will be identified in some cases and the message will be sent: Stay out!
The people who want to join the Beltway crowd in laughing at this move know nothing about the powers of local sheriffs - they have lots of power.
God bless Rick Perry for giving it a try.
Then shoot on sight.
California versus Texas on the immigration emergency.
“Gov. Jerry Brown suggested Monday that Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s ordering of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to address the surge in border crossings is misguided, urging politicians instead to heed the “religious call … to welcome the stranger” in addressing the crisis.
“This is a human problem, and it has been the religious call of all religions to welcome the stranger, and it’s in that spirit that I believe the clergy can call the United States, Mexico and all the players to perhaps a higher response than might otherwise happen,”
