The question I asked you was why, if perry was so in favor of shutting down sanctuary cities, it took him three terms to do it.
MOST governors can do nothing much on their own, but they can LEAD, as you stated. So WHY didn’t perry lead on the illegal immigration issue like Sarah Palin did on the oil companies and gas pipeline issue? Why didn’t he LEAD on the sanctuary city issue?
What specific legislation has perry requested and received from the Texas legislature like Scott Walker in Wisconsin has?
On WHAT has he led? Convince me.
“The question I asked you was why, if perry was so in favor of shutting down sanctuary cities, it took him three terms to do it.”
Sorry that I missed that query. The first session that Governor Perry requested the legislation, the Dems skeedaddled out of state. The next session had state funding as a higher priority. The third normal session saw the Rats balk. This is the first special session that has been called since the majority R, and the state house speaker has declared simple majority.
We take a win when we can. Leaders recognize opportunity.
