“[Texas] Rule requiring drivers to prove citizenship now law”
“Across the nation, only New Mexico and Washington don’t have similar policies.”
Glad it’s law, now. But one has to wonder just how effective Perry has been during his 10 years in power, if we were the 48th state to pass the law. This is where the lack of ideology hurts.

Most of us don’t have a huge problem with Perry, but we him a lot like Huckabee, a Republican governor in a Southern state, who may not be totally with us, and has some really odd quirks.
