Wow! An entire post of ignorance!
Perry confronted Obama face to face regarding border security and has been speaking out for a long time, you just now arriving to the party.
If you thought more and felt less, you’d realize that allowing the illegals in-state tuition is about the best of the available choices. It’s obvious that few Perry critics have faced or even given serious thought to the problems of illegals in Texas or anywhere else.
Sound byte policies that are popular with people like you are short sighted and solve nothing. Even if the ideals are correct, how do you implement them??!!
No one in their right mind thinks it possible to round’em all up and send’m back home.
No one the least bit familiar with the Texas border can realistically advocate a solid fence along the entire border.
The fact that the whole issue is far more complex than ‘fence’m out and send’m home’ is lost on people like you.
Less than 2% of adminssions to Texan colleges are illegals paying instate tuition.
Look at skyrocketing federal spending, foreclosure figures and unemployment rates and think about where this 2% in Texas really rates in the big scheme of things.
And again, no one is advocating this nationally, least of all Perry.
Part of your post said:"No one in their right mind thinks it possible to round’em all up and send’m back home."
You do not have to round them up to send them all home. As I posted at the beginning - do not feed them, do not allow them to work, do not offer LOW COST TUITION, do not provide any services to them. They will go home on their own.
By providing all those services to them they'll stay. Deny them and they'll go home.
I think you're the ignorant one when you can't see the simple solution. They're already leaving AZ and other states that enforces the law on illegal's. What part of that don't you understand. Oh, wait .... yep .... I get it. Another person drinking Liberal bleeding heart Kool-Aid.
I guess you were too busy crying over illegals to have read this post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2786177/posts
1. We can build it in Mexico. They are militarily weak, so if we need to "take" a piece of their land on the other side to build the fence we can do it. It's to stop an invasion ~ and is morally justified.
2. We can build a fence on OUR SIDE that stops mass movements and at the same time patrol between the river and our fence to take care of saboteurs and problem people. Just put formal entry/exit points along the fence and you can keep using it ~ and if some idiot decides he has to take his cows to the river to water them, we'll be waiting there for him ready to have a barbeque! Those cows aren't going to run far with that fence in the way.
