Perry is demonstrating why presidents from southern border states are bad for the rest of America.
That is his biggest challenge to overcome if he is to win the nomination.
The pull of Texas voters towards Democrats to support freebies for illegal aliens is the excuse Rush gave for Perry’s policy, but I bet that factor is WAY overstated.
I think Perry and for that matter Bush feel the same about the border that I do. Specifically, that the Rio Grande is man’s border and not God’s. There but by the grace of God, we were born on the north side of it. We are to be our brother’s keeper. Instead of worrying how to keep them from coming across, we need to work on way’s to destabilize the gangsters that have run that country for centuries.
