Anyway, he's not against border security, he says a fence over the entire border isn't a good solution.
Palin seems to think he's fine on border security -- from her speech supporting him for re-election:
Sarah Palin: "If you want lower taxes and limited governemnt if you want a secure border and a strong future if you want conservative principles and common-sense solutions, if you want more of texas and less of washington, send [Rick Perry] back to Austin."
NumbersUsa, which gave Perry a D- on immigration, and gave Palin a D on immigration, said Perry was GOOD on border security, and would be "excellent" if he wrote down his plan.
Fences aren't the only solution, or even the best solution, for the entire border.
Agree 100%.
Illegal immigrants are a huge problem, and FWIW I strongly disagree with Perry on in-state tuition for illegals.
That said, a fence across our entire Southern border is just a feel-good solution that will cost an unbelievable amount of money and won't actually get the job done.
Liberals are notorious for those. Conservatives should be better than that.
How you can even defend a governor who kowtows to illegals is beyond me. The number of illegals in Texas has increased.
Not to mention the number of illegals getting college aid is also on the rise.
The status quo is no longer an option. Perry has had 10 years to fix the illegals in Texas, and has done nothing.He's made the state MORE attractive to illegals, not less.
Perry is part of the problem, NOT the solution.
