Not really. He wants the border secured, Bush did not.

And what does "Secured" mean according to Perry?

Does it mean no more illegals coming across?

IF so, why doesn't he want a fence or wall?

How come he is against E-Verify?



How come he is against AZ1070?

How come his State Police practice Sanctuary policies, the same policies he and his staff have called the City of Houston out on?

He means secured as in stopping illegals from coming across.

He is against a fence because it will not work - and many agree especially here in Texas. I agree also.
It would be a huge expense to put up a 1200+ mile fence and it would be a waste of money.

Perry is adamant that it would take “Boots On The Ground” + high tech equipment like drones.

E-Verify is a joke.

He was NOT against AZ1070 at all. He just felt like parts of it were not right for Texas. He did not want Texas State Patrol Officers becoming Border Agents. He said it would take away from the job they had to do.

He was for the Sanctuary City Law this last legislative session but our law makers in Texas did not pass it.
He put it back on the table for consideration when he called a special session and they again did not pass it.
However, the photo id for driver license passed within the state budget but a Fed judge halted it. The one thing that did get through our legislature which he signed was a voter id - this eliminates illegals from voting in Texas.

He is against Sanctuary Cities and Policies but much of that is the local city government. Again, he put the Sanctuary City law back on the table during the special session and our state gov did not pass it. There is only so much he can do, even as Governor of Texas.

And the State Police do not practice Sanctuary policies.
They don’t do the job of the Border Police but if someone commits a crime and they think they are illegal - they will check their status.

How come? Because Perry is a FRAUD
