It's your name "South 40" ~ the Obots on the Truth Squad picked poster names to use all across the net that consisted of a WORD or their INITIALS followed by a 2 or 3 digit Number.
It's their signature system.
If all you did was get yourself known as "SOUTHFORTY' you'd be OK.
Many of us recognize the OBOT system and recoil ~ as you might understand.

Um, our military has certain standards ...
1. You need to pass the ASVAB with certain score to enlist.
2. You need to be physically, morally, and mentally/pychologically qualified.
3. BTW, the Armed Forces are supposedly downsizing.
4. How do we truly know these people’s backgrounds? (moral fitness)
We don’t take high school drop-outs as it is, and as many as only 30% of 19 to 23 year old American kids can’t pass muster to get in. How many illegals at this point have even passed high school?
Will we make exceptions for illegals that we currently do not make for American kids wanting in?
How about ALLLLL the family members ...the “dependents” these illegals are sure to bring with them ...
Weapons in the hands of illegals with questionable loyalty to the US and our Constitution?
PASS.

What Perry should be for is legal immigrants who serve in our military should have a faster path to citizenship than those who don’t.

Excellent point please cut & paste this for future use.

It is not the states job to round up illegal immigrants and deport them. That responsibility is constitutionally assigned to the federal government Utter hypocrisy...In California, the illegals are their fault and they deserve everything they get....
But in Texas, the governor is simply an innocent by-stander and it's not his job.
The political hypocrisy here suffocating.

I don't just want a good candidate, I want someone who I can trust to be a good president.
Pandering to La Raza doesn't do it for me.

Seriously...where is Perry’s briefing team on CYB-IMMIGRATION?
To: South40
Oh man, that is unimaginable here in rural Virginia. The closest I've had to anything like that was when I briefly lived in a high-crime part of a large city.
What exactly is meant by open borders? I have always assumed it meant unsecured borders, however, from the posts on FR I get the sense that may not be right. Perry says that he's for securing the borders first, so is open borders an immigration policy?
To: Cincinatus' Wife
Full-out pandering!
Indefensible.

I've had this screen name for over a decade dating back to when Obama was still creating an identity. It has nothing to do with Obama. Nor does it have anything to do with me being accused of supporting him. That's just the only thing RINO Rick Perry supporters can think of when they are faced with his record. And they say the same things to others here who have no similar name structure.
BTW...you posted that last message to yourself.

I rather be complaining about a Rick Perry in the White House than an Obama in the White House. Any Republican who can beat Bammy Boy gets my vote. But my preference is Rick Perry and he can beat Bammy. Bachmann, Palin cannot raise the $$ to beat Obama. Rick Perry and Romney can If it's a matter of money, Palin can raise it.
Don't be sure about Perry winning, either. Just how sure are you, that the electorate at large, would be ready to elect another Governor of Texas just 4 short years after Bush?
Romney is a sure loser.
I am grateful we will have a long, robust Marathon Primary Season to see how it all shakes out!
Furthermore the field of candidates just might not be set.....yet.

IIRC fraudulent enlistment is a crime and a violation of the UCMJ. Illegal entry into the U.S. makes them criminals or fugitives from justice in my book.
Legal Immigrants who have passed through all legal requirements for permenant residence I can see granting citizenship too in exchange for military service IF several conditions are met first including, the ability to read & speak the English language at a U.S. high school level, an extensive back ground check with no security clearances/access above confidential given first enlistment, and citizenship only upon completion of obligated service with an Honorable Discharge. At no time should these waivers exceed 5% of the total End Troop Strength of any branch of service at any time. That number would likely be close to 50,000.
Perry is a first class NATU Shill it sure sounds like. A remake of GW Bush foreign policy we do not need at this point in time.

Indefensible.I kinda like it. It shows just how low RINO Rick will stoop to win the nomination. I only wish I would have found this link and posted it. To my amazement, a Perry supporter did! lol!
It reminds me of the time Obama undermined his own argument using the post office to try and sell us on Obamacare.
