Honest about what I’m posting? Clearly you did not read the links. Perry isn’t making Texas less attractive to illegals- his policies are attracting them like flies! But you keep living in denial, k?

Here's a clue for you, when you take someone else's words, incorrectly rephrase them so that they mean something other than what was actually said, and then argue against them, that is dishonest. You did it in the previous exchange . . .
What I said: "So no, I am not thrilled with his immigration stance, but there is so much more to our nation's plight than just immigration"

What you said: "I can not believe any freeper would dismiss illegal immigration as not being important."

My response to that was: " I never said that illegal immigration [was unimportant (left this out)]--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."
. . . and you have again done it in this exchange. I never stated that Perry's policies weren't attracting illegals, as you asserted. I said that in-state tuition wasn't a primary motivator in encouraging illegals to come to Texas, that the number of jobs this Texas economy has generated was far more important in driving illegal immigration. I also stated that he worked hard to get the sanctuary cities bill passed through the state legislature, but that it was voted down by them.

If you can't accurately quote others and then refute what they actually said, then you shouldn't be quoting them at all. Lying by omission is still lying.
