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.

but people like you is why the USA IS NOW BLUE.
The main reason it went blue is a large percent of Americans are media/school room poisoned, and life remains good for them.

Put an outside candidate in the running and you’ll see exactly what happened. The right and left will come together and shut that person down. And people bought it. Once again, this is why nothing changes.
BANG!!
Right in the ten ring.

Just d*mn! I really thought Texas would be the second in line to AZ with their own law. Well, maybe as soon as the AZ illegals start migrating east to Texas, they’ll think again.
Nope, Texas already has millions of illegals crawling all over it....
The insider wealthy elite run the businesses...They've become wealthy from their low wage labor. Low wage illegal labor that think company benefits mean a 5 minute break....
Follow the money...
The insider wealthy elite running the businesses send big campaign donations and pay off the wealthy political elite, to make damn sure their never ending conga-line of cheap illegal labor continues to flow....
It's a win win, and sure votes for the corrupt government political insiders.
Profits regardless of consequences.
