Texas Gov: Arizona Immigration Law 'Not Right' for Texas [Perry: AZ Law "Not In Right Direction"]

April 29, 2010 Texas Gov: Arizona Immigration Law 'Not Right' for Texas Associated Press Gov. Rick Perry said in a statement: "I have concerns with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas."

AUSTIN, Texas -- Arizona's tough new illegal immigration enforcement law would not be right for Texas, Gov. Rick Perry said Thursday, upholding the state's long-held tradition of rejecting harsh anti-immigrant policies.

The Arizona law will require local and state law enforcement officers to question people about their immigration status if there's reason to suspect they're in the country illegally, making it a crime for them to lack registration documents. The law also makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. illegally.

"I fully recognize and support a state's right and obligation to protect its citizens, but I have concerns with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas," Perry said in a written statement.

I’m afraid the Texas of lore is not the same Texas. At least not in the greater Houston area.

“Maybe we need a one-term Bill White as governor of Texas to wake everybody up.”

Sounds like you may have been one of the elect-Obama-for-one-term voters who wanted to “wake everybody up.”

How’d that workout, Einstein?

“Start A Recall. That will send the shivers.”

Yeah, that will really send the “shivers” since Texas has no recall statute.

Perry must really be shaking in his coyote-killin’ boots.

We don't have time to waste voting for a candidate designed to teach lessons. Some people will never learn. Our rights are eroding daily. If we even get to vote this Nov. we better make a sound united decision.

Arizona has certainly found a way to out the democrats in sheep’s clothing. Good work, if nothing but that is accomplished.

Nothing. Little Ricky has always been a moderate. In fact, it hasn’t been all that many years since he was a democrat.

I am sick of his pandering. He has never been serious about protecting our border. Hell, he hasn’t even led on the issue of requiring IDs to vote here.

Please, no one ever suggest that this progressive RINO would be a good president. He is a douchebag.

Rick "Goodhair" Perry will need a strong and close look before I pull the lever for him. And him taking a turn back towards his usual left of center political position may well cause me to vote for "the other guy" this next general election in hopes of being rid of his sorry country club RINO azz. Keep it up Rick.

He probably got a few calls from the Bushes. They appear to hold a lot of sway in Tx.

He won the Republican primary, so now he can coast for another 4 years. Governor Perry a.k.a. Governor Dolittle!

He must be betting on amnesty.

Good point. He's deceptive and has no b^lls to do the right thing. No more pre-election talk of succeeding?

A lot of TX freepers seem to think our lege will hand him a version of the AZ bill in January and he’ll sign it.

I don’t see that happening, but ????? One can hope.

Well, there are millions of illegals in Texas, so it would seem you’re correct.
