Keep listening. Perry doesn’t have time in debates to explain all those theories you mentioned.

He has explained them in other venues. You might consider going to his website to see some of his positions.

He’s never supported subsidies to illegals. That is a complicated issue that actually dates back to Newt Gingrich’s time in Congress when a law was passed that children of illegals born in the US were eligible for certain benefits. It’s not just in Texas.

If you are talking about the in-state tuition thing, I can explain it if you’re interested.

As far as the fence goes, Perry is more familiar with the Texas border than any candidate possibly could be. Because of the length and terrain of the border, you can’t just say, ‘build a fence,’ and he’s fully aware of that. It’s gonna require some advanced thinking and technology to close that thing, but he says he’ll do it in a year if elected and I believe him.

CW’s post gave a quote of his feelings about e-verify. It’s pretty plain that he is not opposed to it at all.

Not many people bother to go to campaign website. It is the job for the candidate to make his case and use the opportunities on debate. Good politicians are able to do that.

Tv ads work too.

The border between Texas and Mexico is the Rio Grande.

I know that you know that’s a river, but apparently some folks around here don’t. I’d like them to explain to me how you build a fence down the middle of a river.
