Oh really? Then why hasn't Rick Perry called upon the Texas legislature to send him a strong, bulletproof anti-illegal immigration bill during his ten years as governor?
Why did he call Arizona's tough immigration bill, "Wrong for Texas"?
In the latest legislative session there were several good immigration bills that were allowed to die without a single one of them ever making it to the floor of the House for a vote. Perry knew about these bills, because the Texas Tea Parties barraged his office for months, demanding that he call for one of them to get to his desk. Do you think he ever did?
Governor Perry has just pushed into the senate SB9 which answers all of your concerns for the illegal situation in Texas. This bill is causing protests from Latino civil rights groups and the usual condemnation from liberals in Texas.
