“I wonder what Rick Perry’s idea is?”

“President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace” -Rick Perry

Keep passing around the half truths.

"President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity. It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease, and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity."

No, Perry never said that. You are stating that as a fact, so put up or shut up.

"President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace

Why didn't you post the rest of the sentence Barnacle:

"as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find it. It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease, and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity. Clearly we have a long way to go in addressing those issues"

It couldn't be that you omitted it in an effort to make Perry look as bad as possible, could it? Nah....you wouldn't be that dishonest, would you?

This is the equivalent of MLK's "I have a dream speech". A utopian wish.
