I really can’t answer for Perry, but I can tell you my thoughts on why he might think the way he does.

Perry is a politician. I don’t deem him to be anything else. I live in Texas..we have a very large Hispanic population. If anyone thinks he will do anything to alienate that base, you might want to think twice. Hence the Dream Act nonsense that I totally disagree with. But it was supported by the legislature. And so far the Dems have lost.

E-Verify is a joke. Yep...you can call and find out if a ss number is valid. If not, you can inform the person. You cannot not hire them..or fire them. YET..the employer is at risk for hiring illegals.

The Texas Border really does not lend itself to a fence. Lots of rough terrain. Besides..in reality, that is a function of the federal government.

I fear there will never be any kind of provisions to stop this. If there is a candidate running today that actually has a plan..who is it? (no way they will alienate what small portion of the Hispanic vote they might get).

Yeah, I've heard similiar excuses from Perry Apologists for a border-fence, apparently, if something doesn't work 100% stopping Illegals, then it is a joke and should just be thrown away.

Seems Perry supporters, in their efforts to cover-up their candidates full-scale Open-Border positions will dream up every non-logical excuse possible.

You see, E-Verify by itself will not work, but used in conjunction with a state law like AZ1070 that couples E-Verify with reporting and making it lawful NOT to hire the person, coupled with the requirement that LEOs follow-up on the potential employee and arrest and turn over to the Feds would work.

Perry supporters are legendary for finding excuses for their less-than conservative candidate.

More excuses from a Perry supporter, I'm shocked, I tell ya!

We have sent men to the moon and you give me the cowardly excuse that the border of Texas doesn't lend itself to a fence?

Same kind of cowardly crap of an excuse that Perry gives for his every Open-Border position and word.

Just like your candidate, the only conclusion I can gather from your excuses is that Illegal Immigration isn't really an issue with you, you must not really want to solve the issue.
