Given that there are only 12 million illegals, why should we take anything you say seriously?
And, Perry has taken significant measures to secure the borders in Texas with state spending over $100 million dollars to do so.
The “12M illegals” number is from the Dept of Homeland Security, and comes from 2003. The number of illegals entering the country each year is from 700,000 (DHS) to 4M (State of Arizona Task Force on Illegal Immigration). Get with the program.
Governor Perry in 2001: “President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace”.
Perry supports open borders, NAFTA, the TTC, sanctuary city policies, benefits for illegal aliens, amnesty, and he has signed legislation to keep guidelines to prevent law enforcement from finding illegal aliens. Perry has signed also signed legislation to grant in-state tuition to illegal aliens. He believes that border enforcement is a federal issue, so please show us a link to back up your assertion that he’s tough on illegal immigration.
