A woman who works for me crossed the Rio Grande hence the term wetback, got her green card married a man who did the same. They have 3 sons, one has graduated from college, one is in medical school and another is a college student. They are a family of outstanding citizens that any state would be proud to have.

This has been going on my whole life and I am 75 but now it is Rick Perrys fault?

We are either a nation of laws or we are not. For every family like you described, there are literally millions of other stories that leave a trail of crime, death, and destruction,

Criminal Alien Statistics: Information on Incarcerations, Arrests, and Costs GAO-11-187: Published: Mar 24, 2011. Publicly Released: Apr 21, 2011.

The number of criminal aliens in federal prisons in fiscal year 2010 was about 55,000, and the number of SCAAP criminal alien incarcerations in state prison systems and local jails was about 296,000 in fiscal year 2009 (the most recent data available), and the majority were from Mexico.

Based on our random sample, GAO estimates that the criminal aliens had an average of 7 arrests, 65 percent were arrested at least once for an immigration offense, and about 50 percent were arrested at least once for a drug offense. Immigration, drugs, and traffic violations accounted for about 50 percent of arrest offenses. About 90 percent of the criminal aliens sentenced in federal court in fiscal year 2009 (the most recently available data) were convicted of immigration and drug-related offenses. About 40 percent of individuals convicted as a result of DOJ terrorism-related investigations were aliens.

25,000 were charged with homicide.

This has been going on my whole life and I am 75 but now it is Rick Perrys fault?

When you reward something, you get more of it. Texas has an illegal alien population of 1.8 million. The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on Texans (2014)

After a brief hiatus that coincided with the worst of the economic recession, Texas’s illegal alien population is on the rise again. There are about 1,810,000 illegal aliens residing in Texas — 70,000 more than resided in the state in 2010 when we estimated the fiscal burden at nearly $8.9 billion annually.

In 2013, illegal immigration cost Texas taxpayers about $12.1 billion annually. That amounts to more than $1,197 for every Texas household headed by a native-born or naturalized U.S. citizen. The taxes paid by illegal aliens — estimated at $1.27 billion per year — do not come close to paying for those outlays, but we include an estimate of revenue from sales taxes, property taxes, alcohol taxes, and cigarette taxes.

Illegal aliens have no right to be in the country. They certainly don’t have any right to special breaks on education that Texas taxpayers like me have to pay for. It may not be all Perry’s fault that they came but he certainly did help to turn on the magnet and put out a welcome mat, didn’t he? He also said that if I disagree with him, I have no heart. I am tired of having illegals here and I am tired of their CoC crony enablers like Rick Perry insult me.

They will be a real asset to Mexico...
