11 years as governor and yet Texas is one of three states with an INCREASE in the number of illegals.
All states with an INCREASE in the number of illegals thanks to congress.
Only congres can control the problem.
Well it’s NOT because of the college tuition breaks and if you say it is, you are a heartless person that just doesn’t want to help people because they have a different sounding last name!
(sarcasm)
Where did you get that statistic?
Every state in the Union has had an increase in illegal immigration in the last 11 years.
and it has absolutely nothing to do with a 1200 mile long border with Mexico that the federal government will not protect.
Easy for those of us in states thousands of miles from the border to criticize, but we don’t have to deal with the worst of it. The worst and most dangerous part of the trip for illegals is getting across the border into the US. If the TX tuition break were such a magnet, why would they ever leave TX?
Well maybe that INCREASE in the number of illegals is due to the fact that we have a very long border here in Texas reaching from NM to La and it borders Mexico only.
Maybe that INCREASE is due to the fact that we need more man power down at the border that most Border states do. And they don’t even have enough man power on their borders as it is.
Maybe that INCREASE is due to the fact that everyone up in Washington has said we really have no problems down here on our border and won’t listen to us tell them we need help down here.
Maybe all your chair potatoes who know exactly how to run this country and have all the answers to the illegal problems ought to come down here make yourself an appointment with Gov Perry and tell him your plan to make sure that no more illegals come across the border.
Cause believe me in the 11 years that Perry has been Gov of Texas and has tried to enforce the border from illegals crossing it NOTHING has worked to the extent that you people want it to.
We deal with the illegals the best we can down here and little to no help from our goverment.
What more do you want from us? Every man woman and child in Texas standing on the border with a gun to shot anyone who comes across it from Mexico?
Plus there are alot of American Mexicans who help these people when they get across the border and into the US. In every state of the Union believe me. You want papers they got them just give them the money and they can make you a US citizen in about 20 minutes.
