If Texans don’t like something, we’re not shy about it. What everyone is calling the Texas DREAM Act (it isn’t, BTW)is about ten years old already. If we didn’t agree with it, we would get the legislature to repeal it. The Harry Reid DREAM Act applies to illegal “children” up to 35 years old, for one thing.
We do have a long and closely entwined history with Mexico. (He!!, we used to BE Mexico!) That said, it’s not the answer for the entire country. And it is very much a states rights issue.
Perry does want the borders secured, and he is for a guest worker program versus amnesty. He brought the legislature back this summer to try one more time to get the ban on sanctuary cities passed.
But you can’t put a fence up in the middle of the Rio Grande river. What little bit of border fence that’s been completed has cost millions and millions of dollars.
If anyone has time, I suggest looking deeper into eVerify. It’s not the silver bullet everyone assumes, and can raise as many issues as it tries to solve.
Like I said, we can build a bridge connecting the Keys, we can build a bridge to connect two peninsulas in Michigan, we can build a dam to hold back millions of gallons of water... but we CAN'T build a fence in the middle of a river!?!?!!?
We have some of the best engineering minds in the world in the USA. I'm about what's possible, and know there's nothing Americans can't do if they set their mind to it.
So you stay in your world of can't. I want no part of anyone or anything that is tantamount to giving up.
