There were only 4 opposing votes in the legislature and Perry never called you a racist if you opposed the bill.
Perry doesn’t think you’re a racist. Perry understands if the GOP alienates Hispanics, they will not win the Presidency again. I don’t like the pandering either, but what politician doesn’t pander?
Perry supports fences around metro areas, boots on the ground and using high tech hardware. He thinks a 1200 mile fence is unrealistic.
More importantly, Perry knows that border security is a federal responsibility and not a state responsibility. You are missing that point entirely!
Don’t think slick used car salesman Romney is anti illegal imigration. Here is a factcheck from his record. Look at his record!!
FactCheck: MA state cops never enforced immigration laws
Romney claims in his TV ad that he put state troopers on the trail of illegals in his state. But he didn’t do so until he had less than a month left in his term. He was already considering running for president, and the new governor-elect was expected to rescind the arrangement.
Romney began talking about giving troopers the power to make arrests on immigration charges earlier in 2006, but he didn’t sign an agreement with the federal government–a necessary condition for that authority to be granted– until Dec. 13, 2006. Romney was scheduled to leave office Jan. 4, 2007. Democrat Deval Patrick, who had won the race to succeed Romney, had already said the program was a “bad idea” because troopers were busy enough as it was.
Sure enough, Patrick rescinded the agreement within his first week in office so troopers could “focus on enforcing MA laws.” The policy never had a chance to take effect, because those troopers chosen to carry it out hadn’t yet begun a required 6-week training course
