Gov. Perry has made the point that a fence isn’t the answer, that conservative ascendancy is. The Feds have allowed this massive illegal influx of Mexicans and others (periodically made legal). They flock here for work and for all the social programs offered by the federal government —which has tied states’ hands and tapped their scarce revenue to foot education and health care costs (can not ask questions of legal status). So frankly, Gov. Perry is right. We have to make those already here conservatives, secure the border (financed and fully secured by the federal government) and set up a worker program that works.
If we had built a wall along California’s border with other U.S. states, wouldn’t the rest of the country be in much better shape today — not infected by all their liberal nonsense? Just a thought I’ll throw out there.
Wow. Another call for Amnesty. If border jumpers are allowed to have their crimes forgiven, why not other criminals?
California is a mess because of liberal governance and illegal residents - but it has wonderful weather, a wealth of natural resources, and numerous innovative businesses (I work for one) that have not (yet) been driven out of the State due to the anti-business climate.
The U.S.A. would be much the poorer for its loss of California.
Which State was the first to elect that ideological fire brand Ronald Reagan? What State does Free Republic come from?
And one you should have just kept to yourself.
