So no, I am not thrilled with his immigration stance, but there is so much more to our nation's plight than just immigration

Note, that in this last session of the Texas legislature, Perry pushed very hard for an anti-sanctuary city law but it was defeated in both houses.

So what excuse do you have for this?

More illegals finding their way to Texas. Must be that in-state tuition!

Oh wait...

Number of illegal immigrants getting in-state tuition for Texas colleges rises

I can not believe any freeper would dismiss illegal immigration as not being important.Outside of Obamacare, it is THE most important issue facing this country today.

False premise. Illegals are not coming because of that in-state tuition--the vast majority of them aren't qualified for college. They are coming to Texas because that is where they can find jobs.

I never said that illegal immigration--again you are using Alinsky techniques distorting what someone says and then arguing against it (that is what is called a "straw man" argument)--I merely stated that there are other equally important issues. I would say that our rapidly approaching economic collapse and an unemployment figure approaching 20% are equally, if not more, important that illegal immigration.

If the economy collapses due to the insane levels of spending in which our government is currently engaged, then illegal immigration becomes almost irrelevant.
