(If those are your actual beliefs, you are NOT a conservative.)

Talk to the Feds about THEIR laws!

We can’t refuse to educate or give health care.. You don't have to give them in state college tuition. Unless the governor of a state forces that on the citizens of his state.

So you think posting an article praising bush2 by a guy who was a democrat (elected as a democrat) a few months ago and is a huge AMNESTY pusher is a good thing?

LOL!

With supporters like you bush2 will be out of this race sooner than I thought!

Nice try but a photo ID not given in my state means a contested ballot that goes uncounted till there is verification.

Meanwhile we have somebody doing more than flapping their gums and actually fighting for us.

Why don’t you unhook your self from the hate wagon and engage your brain?

You don’t know what you’re talking about — happily sputtering along showing your ignorance.

Gov. Perry and The TEXAS Dream Act

[snip]

It’s important to point out that there is a huge difference in the TEXAS Dream Act and the The Dream Act that was pushed in Congress and failed. The Dream Act in Congress was full of all kinds of goodies other than allowing children of illegals to receive in state tuition. The Texas Dream Act was focused only on that. I happen to agree with The Texas Dream Act, and so did everyone in the Senate in Texas. It passed with ZERO “no” votes. Add to that, it has been proven to be successful.

These are a few things you need to know about the [2001] Texas Dream Act. The child has to have lived in Texas the three years leading up to high school graduation. These students are given no special treatment in getting into Texas colleges and universities. They must get in on their own merit. They are paying the tuition (with or without financial aid). It’s estimated that these students make up about 1% of those entering college.

[snip]

Most of us agree that border control MUST be dealt with first. The problem with all other efforts on this issue in the past is that the borders were not sealed. If there is anyone who we can trust to do that it is Gov. Perry (if he decides to run for President). He knows what goes on down at the border. He has gone there many times. He knows what needs to be done. There is no doubt in my mind that if he were President, he would seal our borders. But Perry also understands Hispanic outreach.

Gov. Rick Perry has been turning the state BRIGHT Red!

Rick Perry started as a Democrat in West Texas (essentially THE only party). He served in the Texas legislature - was known as one of the "pit bulls," conservative members who sat in the lower pit of the House Appropriations Committee and bitterly fought spending increases.

Perry changed parties in 1989, joining Phil Gramm and other conservative Texas Democrats, who now had a true ideological party with a burgeoning Texas GOP.

When Perry campaigned for Lt. Gov. [1998], he and his campaign staff were in it to win and his hard-nosed style was against the "friendly" advice and request of GWB [in re-election bid for Texas Gov] and Rove to run easy against Sharp, a popular democrat (and Aggie friend of Perry's from their A&M years together). Rove wanted to broaden Bush's base for his upcoming White House run. Perry told them where to stick their advice, because he knew the voters would vote for Bush for Gov. and then cross back over and vote for Sharp (D) for Lt. Gov, if he just walked through the motions like the Bush-Rove team asked him to do.

Perry won the seat for Lt. Gov. -- the first Republican elected to that office since Reconstruction. Now 13 years later and into his 3rd term as Texas governor, the GOP holds a super majority. So Perry has earned his conservative spurs -- fighting both parties!

[The Bushes and Rove supported Kay Bailey Hutchison's primary challenge against Gov. Perry the 2010 election too]

See my post #20 if you have the guts to read the truth about hispanic Texans/Americans.

When their families came across long years ago and settled in Texas, you didn’t require papers. Because it wasn’t regulated if you go back far enough, and then your decendants have been here so long, they don’t even know anything other than, as long as I know anything about, my family has been here.

And people walked back and forth across the border for whatever reason. All the time. Paperless. LOL

I’m not talking about illegals. I’m talking about legals whose ancestors have been here so long the issue of “where are your papers?” is irrelevant.

But people with your attitude will count every one of them as illegal because, “where are your papers?”

The hispanic Americans I personally know are as American as anglo Americans. They are from families who have been in Texas for generations. ... It is their decendants that I’m referring to when I say hispanic Americans who are as legal as anglos and every bit as American. ...

In my experience the hispanics to whom you are referring are no more pleased with the squatters, that many of the rest of us.

Since we won the photo ID fight in Michigan, the social security administration has refused to tell the SOS who has died so they can be purged from the voter rolls. Our SOS has also received no answer from the dept Homeland security or immigration enforcement.

We did stop giving driver’s licenses to illegals a few years back and that helps.
