Thanks for the Cliff Notes summary, I appreciate it.
He’s not my candidate and his approach to immigration is noxious to me, but I wouldn’t argue with any of his points as you’ve reported them.
His immigration stance is the big killer for me.
The problem with Cliff’s Notes is that you can read them cover to cover and still fail the test. :)
‘..and his approach to immigration is noxious to me,’
Perry wants passage of a measure requiring every person arrested to be run through the federal immigration databases as part of the Secure Communities program. He also wants to provide the state Department of Public Safety with the authority to make sure someone is in the U.S. legally before issuing a driver’s license.
These measures, along with a ban on sanctuary cities, would “provide a clear message that Texas will not turn a blind eye to those breaking our laws,” Perry said in a statement.
“Texas owes it to the brave law enforcement officials, who put their lives on the line every day to protect our families and communities, to give them the discretion they need to adequately do their jobs,” Perry said.
