“If you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they’ve been brought there by no fault of their own, I don’t think you have a heart” - Perry”
Every comment I’ve seen about this accusation Rick Perry made against those who opposed him on the issue, focused on their taking umbrage at being told they have no heart. In fact, I think it was more their intelligence was being insulted by the way Perry framed the accusation, thinking no one would notice that we do educate the childen of those foreign citizens who enter the US illegally; but when they reach the age of majority the situation is totally different.
Yes, the hysteria over this is ridiculous. It’s not only inconsequential compared with important issues but ...
I mean we don’t act against children whose parents are ax murderers, robbers, rapists, etc.
Those children are given a chance, why the hysteria over this?
