Perry is not Bush. He has put Texas assets on the border which Bush never did and he has asked the feds to put troops on the border and I don’t remember Bush doing that either. He may not be as tough on this issue as many would like but he is better than Bush was.

Sorry but throwing money away at a problem using ineffective methods proves nothing. Bush did the same thing.

The problem is that Perry is against everything that would actually solve the problem, everything that is effective:

1. E-Verify
2. Interior Enforcement like AZ1070 that would actually make uncomfortable to be here, hard to find a job.
3. Border Wall/Fence.

Then he makes he hands out candy, so to speak, in the form of in-state tuition for Illegals already here, effectively putting out the welcome mat and saying with a wink and a nod, it's OK, we're really not all that serious about keeping Illegal Immigrants out of Texas.

You then couple that with the low-income social programs he has implemented with no controls in them to keep Illegals from getting state level benefits they have no right to and all Perry is saying to Illegals is, come on over, you're welcome!

So instead of actually fixing the issue, we get a bunch of nonsensical platitudes from Perry, and him actually making it worse by putting the welcome mat out.

Bush isn't President or running for. Need to compare with current candidates.

The facts are clear that Perry will indeed use Government funds to secure his states border at our expense.

But he has a worse problem of the Muslim population in his state which he is supporting.....and allowing financing of their Mosques and Islamic centers from ME funds.

He likes the 'outside' revenues for his state which make it appear as if his state is able to handle their own debts etc and the numbers look good at a glance...but when you look further you see those revenues coming from outside the state...and the jobs claimed created are mostly minimum wage. I have great concerns that same mindset will allow further foreigners to open business and industry into all our country at a rapid pace...and this, as with his state, will generate revenues to revive our nation and make it appear, as it does in his state, that he has created jobs and saved the nation. When in fact it will be from foreign involvements, not from those of our own.

So will he sell us out to foreign investors and the ME oil giants who love Texas for their business ventures....I just see this as... having Perry for Pres. will open the way for more and more foreigners to come here...and that with His seal of approval.
