Perry does NOT favor open borders. You obviously know nothing about TX or you would not be spouting this garbage. I give up! You simply are not informed, as evidenced by the comments you have made. I am from TX and know what he does and what he stands for. Your comments is a misrepresentation.
I’ve read many things about what Perry has and hasn’t done. and what he favors and what he opposes related to immigration, and it all adds up to open borders, no matter what he or anyone else chooses to call it.
And this Texas viewpoint is half the problem because that is not the Texas/Mexico border, but the US/Mexico border. Perry is little different than Bush on border security matters.
Being from Texas seems to be a problem when it comes to addressing illegal immigration for the nation as a whole. Most all border state governors and senators are weak on illegal immigration in one aspect or another. Not good for the US as a whole.
