Everify turns employers into enforcers.

No it doesn't! You are WAY over the top here!

ALL e-verify does is allow an employer to verify that the social security number being presented by the applicant is a valid number. It doesn't require him to do anything with the information except deny employment to those who present invalid S.S. numbers. It can and should be made mandatory TODAY!

But, he let some messican kid get an education if he could prove he was working toward citizenship!

Wrong! Perry supports a multifaceted approach.
Sometimes I think he is the only man in America that doesn’t think a fence alone is the solution.

Border security is a FEDERAL responsibility. To my knowledge Rick Perry is not president... yet.

He did more than most governors to secure the border, despite Federal inaction.

Yes - the federal government failure to meet its responsibility is the problem. That is why there is so much concern about what the candidates would do to correct that problem if elected president.

We both know that what has people upset with Perry is not his efforts to secure the border as Governor.

It is his defense of the state "Dream Act" and his firmly stated opposition to construction of a physical border fence that turns potential supporters off.

He made things worse by playing the "heartless" card at the last debate. We hear more than enough of that kind of guilt trip nonsense from democrats.

Highlights continued:

-Rick Perry signed legislation in 2001 allowing some illegal immigrants to pay in- state college tuition.

-Rick Perry believes that I am heartless for disagreeing with this “Dream Act”.


I believe that Perry is a very nice guy. I think he means well and I can see why some folks might support him. His support of the Dream Act was never going to play well on a national level and he should have known that, yet he calls those he would want to vote for him...... “heartless”.

Cowboy Perry just kicked a fresh cow-pie on a hot day and that stink on his boot is going to stay with him for a long time. ANYBODY can have a bad day and screw up a debate or two, but Perry has put himself in the corner of a corral, right next to a big pile of manure.

Perry is using sandpaper to treat a bad case of hemorrhoids. That pain in his a$$ isn’t going to get any better.

I sincerely wish Perry well, because I believe he’s a good man, but I don’t see a winning way out for him.

Utterly irrelevant. The Feds not holding their end of the deal is not a reason to ring the dinner bell for more illegals to come stampeding to his state.

No sale.

There you go, engaging your brain instead of being an emotional reactionary.

Why did Texas Republican politicians support this so overwhelmingly?

Perry supports a multifaceted approach.

The bullshit's coming out of your ears, ML. He doesn't support a border barrier; he doesn't support cutting off the welfare freebies; he doesn't support deportations. Your boy Slick Rick is done. He should've saved his Lindsey Graham approach for the general. Now the chances of him getting there are zero. Good -- I'm glad he showed his hand early.

Rick Perry has got to be one of the stupidest people on Earth. Offer an incentive for Mexicans to sneak into the country by giving their kids a college education courtesy of the American taxpayer and then it’s lets all debate how secure/unsecured the f’ing border is. For cryin’ out loud Gov, , turn off the damned tap!

You're absolutely right. Palin fans are obsessed. She simply tells people how the government should be and she's really NOT telling us anything we don't know. Bachman tried to clone her.

I have yet to hear solutions that are workable.

And no matter how you cut it....SHE QUIT.

Texas oil and gas or Alaskan crude??

It's just a reality check. Mayor of a Town with 700 people. Wow...

It's sounding more and more like a run for Senior class president every day.

Oh Liz...Stop cluttering our minds with facts and petty legal matters. All of the self-enrichment and cronyism evidence isn't why we conservatives are distrustful of Perry. Deep down, you know it's just an excuse to cover up our abject racism.

giant sarc/ (just in case)

Conservative ire with Perry runs deep, reflects racial politics

Texas is already doing both and using electronic surveillance.
We need more assets and the Fed has denied them.

Agree. Perry understands the border security issue. The rest of the contenders are lap dogs barking BS on the wet back problem.

Sanitorium (?) is a loser that could not even win re-election to his own Senate seat.

Bachman is a one trick pony (yapping about HPV vaccines)

Mittons is against baby killing and pervert “marriage” after he was for it!

FP “conservatives” might want to pay less attention to the MSM and focus more on the realities of life.

Another Texas tea Party Republican for Perry. Incidentally, for the record, any of the listed GOP contenders can out talk the lying moronic Kenyan communist Muslim ignoramus nut job in the presently in the WH!.

And the pining sycophants have a bad case of Puppy Love hoping that the Prom Queen will return their call. Some people never left grade school.

Governor Perry presents some good ideas here but they DO NOT and will not solve our illegal immigration problem by themselves. IF we really want to solve the illegal immigration problem, and I emphasize if because we know that there are a great many who don’t really want to do that, we must use ALL the resources we have at hand.

This means:

Securing the borders. ALL of them!

No more sanctuary cities anywhere in the United States.

No more government handouts of any kind to anyone in the country illegally be they here of their own free will or brought here by someone else.

No more anchor babies.

No driver’s licenses.

No jobs. (E-Verify require for every job applicant and stiff penalties for employers knowingly hiring anyone with a bogus S.S. number.)

Enforcing immigration law to the fullest extent. No exceptions! (This would require the mandatory cooperation of every federal, state and local law enforcement official in the country.)

Nothing less is going to get it done.

Whoops...Correcting my post about Sarah being mayor of Wasilla.

Wasilla has a population of about 7000. Sarah got 651 votes. Her opponent got about 450.

We have more people than that at our highschool football game.
