No surprise from Rick the illegal lover. I'm sure he was just opening up his heart to the plight of these poor illegal immigrants, don't be heartless, jeez.
I'll give you the tour and you can witness it firsthand and you can post your own link.
Deal?
Border security is a totally different issue than immigration. It is Congress' domain to take care of US immigration policy. The federal government mandates education (Plyler v. Doe) and entitlements for immigrants living in this country, which along with other policies ties the hands of governors.
This is what Governor Perry has done in Texas concerning border security.
Championed a Voter ID law that ensures only American citizens will be able to vote in elections.
Signed into law a requirement that only citizens and legal residents may obtain a driver’s license.
Declared legislation outlawing “sanctuary cities” an emergency item in Texas, and added it to the call of the 2011 special session.
Signed into law tougher penalties for those who engage in human trafficking.
Signed a law that requires counties to assist the state in tracking the number of illegal immigrants in Texas county jails.
Protected a Texas law that prevents any public agency, taxing jurisdiction or economic development corporation from receiving public subsidies if they have been found to have hired undocumented workers.

Wonder how much of that was done after he decide to run for President. I know that he did nothing about sanctuary cities so if he is that is new.

Perry has pushed the sanctuary city legislation this year because it is the first year we have had a Republican super majority in the house. He couldn't get it considered in previous years.
Quote:
The bill contains three main parts: a prohibition on sanctuarycities, required use of secure communities, and statutory authority for DPS to authenticate lawful presence when issuing state identification (IDs) or driver's licenses. 82(1) SB 9 - Introduced version - Bill Analysis

Couldn't he have signed an executive order? He seems fond of those.
To even question Romney about illegal aliens working for him, when Slick Rick himself has illegals cutting his big lawn in West Austin.
That is a FACT.
He also has illegals on the hunting property he hunts at. They are the skinners and property hands.
That is a FACT.
The guy that washed his wife's Suburban after the recent rains, was an illegal alien.
That is a FACT.
The biggest... The Governors Mansion is being rebuilt by a majority of illegals doing the labor
That is a FACT.
Those of us who live in Texas have known what a complete phony Perry is for quite awhile. It's refreshing to see him revealed on a national stage.
There aren't any hard or fast rules you can apply to EOs. They encompass a myriad of governmental and social issues and have to be taken on a case by case basis. I don't see an issue with any of the EO's cited. On that matter, unless an EO is constitutionally based, Congress can directly affect a presidential action by either amending, nullifying, repealing revoking, or terminating the authority on which it was founded.
On the issue of Gardasil, which I think is your stickler for bringing up an EO, the stats were showing that Texas has among the highest prevalence rates of cervical cancer in the United States. CDC - Cervical Cancer Rates by State
Gov. Perry signed an EO to put the HPV on the vaccine schedule in order to bring the cost down for those that didn't want to "opt out". The whole thing was overblown.
Shouting that young girls were being forced is a lie. No one was forced to take the HPV. Another reason the age group is cited is because the vaccine would be more effective in that age group than in an older age group. It's just that simple.
Texas doesn't force vaccines on any resident.
