From Perry’s speech.

“The Rio Grande does not separate two nations, it joins two peoples.”

“We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.”

“President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity.”

R. Perry has not enough smarts to be president if he made these unbelievable stupid statements. Or is he bought off?
