Therein lies the problem. It’s the federal government that writes immigration laws, not the states. And Alabama isn’t a border state. Perry focuses on what he can focus on, border security, and gets crucified for it. It’s ridiculous. Texas has 64% of the border and receives only 20% of the border security funding. Seems kind of like a setup, don’t you think? Of course he’s for “comprehensive immigration reform.” Something’s got to give. And like he says (repeatedly), no rational discussion on immigration reform can be had until we SECURE OUR BORDERS.
Passing Sanctuary and E-verify would have saved him so much heartache. E-Verify could have been done by executive order. His record is woeful due to the long stream of money from cheap labor interests. Now he will be pestered the whole time.
