With the power to stand up and make proposals, introduce bills, campaign on stopping illegal immigration and to vote down the government freebies. So, yes. A most definite yes. But if you think he can only do things as governor, ignoring his years as a legislator and lt. gov., then why in the last dozen years as governor has he done squat?
Mainly because it has excelerated in just the last two years. Prior to that it was safe, except in places like the barrios of Juarez and Nueva Laredo, Matamoros. The little towns between were safe. Border Texans crossed over and shopped all the time. I’ve done it many many times. The Mexican nationals crossing were coming for work and the many returned home after following the harvests or winter set in. They wanted to be home for the Fiesta of the Dead in December. Now nowwhere along the border is safe. And it’s a completely different kind of people crossing. The ones crossing today are literally crimnals and terrorists. And their intent is to infiltrate.
Nobody’s perfect. Not even Palin, and she’s at the top of my list:
Palin
Perry
Bachmann
Cain
I’ve repeated my list over and over on these threads so that there is no question where I’m coming from.
A lot of Palin/Perry detractors don’t want to say upfront who they support, other than, seemingly, “somebody perfect”.
There’s nobody “perfect”.
