Yup, it’s illegals who have their greatest leader in Rick Perry.
I have a heart I just don't like faux conservatives politicians who pander to ILLEGAL aliens.
OUCH. That’s.gonna hurt. ;-)
The irony is that the number of jobs in Texas available to “illegals” would be praised to the skies if Perry wasn’t a Republican.
ROFLOL
Strange; I visit various cities in Texas repeatedly throughout the year on biz trips. I have remarked repeatedly that it is the one place in the USA that I travel to that is doing well, economically. No entirely empty office parks as in Illinois, no sales clerks telling me they can’t get jobs as certified teachers anywhere in southern California, no government near bankruptcy trying to pay state employee pensions as in Rhode Island. I’ve been told repeatedly when I’m there by people who have moved to Texas in the past few years that anyone can get a job there; it may not be the best job you’d like to get but its available, it pays and Texas is a heck of a lot cheaper in living costs than almost anywhere else I’ve been. Of course, what I’ve seen personally as an out-of-stater doesn’t fit the political agenda of the press.
“More than 80 percent of the new jobs in Texas went to foreigners, the Center for Immigration Studies reported last week, and 40 percent of those jobs went to illegal aliens.
Might be true if you count yankees as foreigners, otherwise this is BS.
I guess Texas is making the jobs the rest of America doesn't want. A lot of folks in the other 56 states are apparently waiting to get hired on to government jobs at top dollar. You know -- good Obamaplan jobs, on the public dime.
Remember the “Massachusetts Miracle” of the corrupt midget, Mike “Tanks for the Memories” Dukakis? There’s a lot of ways to make numbers scream and these guys know how to torture them.
If Perry wins the nomination, it will be without this Texan’s help.
I still waiting for another shoe to drop on this former Democrat. Perry pushed for and did not give up on his Trans-Texas Corridor idea until the bitter end. It would have been the largest eminent domain property seizure in American history, and would have given that land to a Spanish toll road company for a minimum 50 years.
How he plans to square that with “conservative principles” is beyond me.
I don't believe in the notion that there are “jobs Americans don't want.” I myself, have over the years, washed cars, scrubbed toilets, moped and waxed floors, worked construction. I'll admit I didn't work construction for long due to a fear of heights.
My point is that I have done many of the jobs that typically attract illegals and I'm not above doing them again. Legal and illegal immigrants DO take jobs away from hard working Americans and put enormous pressure on our social services since 70% of them end up on some kind of assistance. It almost doesn't pay to be a native born American any more. How can we justify keeping the flood gates open when we can't afford to take care of the people that already live here? There are no jobs that Amercians won't do.
The state can use a miracle of a good hard rain for several days.
This article is below the normal standard for The New American. Creating jobs and who fills them are different issues. Perry has maintained and improved a friendly business climate, which generates jobs. The Governor has nothing to do with private hiring decisions. For those who want to claim that the jobs have been “low wage” jobs, researchers at the Dallas Fed has already put that one to rest.
What motivates the article? Everyone should know that The New American is a a big Ron Paul supporter.
I’d be happy with Bachmann, Perry, Cain, Santorum, or Palin (if the diva deigns to enter the race). What I see too much of here are fixations on one candidate or other, and these fixations often result in irresponsible commentary on others. The net result of in-fighting by conservatives could well be a Romney nomination (blech, yuck, etc.)
I live in Texas, and have a small business in the construction industry. I can remember some years back, when hundreds of illegals lined the streets around every Home Depot, looking for day work.
Not now. You’ll never see more than a handful around any Home Depot these days. From what I’ve observed of trade activity over the last few years, they’re all employed now - taking jobs that Americans used to do. My jobs.
Accept this anti Perry people, and reject fiscal conservatism. Love to see all the freepers who fall for leftist horse manure.
Texas is the of destination of countless companies moving from statist blue states. this is a victory of conservatism and should be regarded as such by every free republic member.
This is crazy talk. Earlier today, I read that Two-Thirds of Elected Republican Agriculture Commissioners endorsed Rick Perry.
If all this were true, how could Perry possibly have gotten the coveted Elected Republican Agriculture Commissioners’ endorsement?
How are things in California?
