Texas politicians are pretty notorious for Hispandering. It's sickening.
Yes, I know Bush wanted amnesty and he did little to secure our borders. I never was a fan of Bush. No surprise that Texas politicians have been pandering to Hispanics since there is a large population of them there. However, regardless of the demographics of a region politicians should honor our laws and put the best interests of the nation as a whole first. Where are these patriotic politicans? They are few and far between, unfortunately.

Most farmers are also regestered republican. No minority farmers? No minorities work on farms?
What does whether minorities do any of that have to do with anything?

Rick Perry Raises Predator Drones As Possible Border Security Solution

Here is where you played the race card. Before anyone brought it up. Why was it necessary, especially considering Perry favors your side.

Yes, it is puzzling, isn't it? But any attempt at securing our borders is the deal killer with the pro-illegals. Drones don't blow up people anyway.

Perry then jetted off to Mexico and bragged to the Mexicans that Texas passed this law, saying, “The message is simple, educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.” Education is the future, and yes we can.

Do you want a president who offers in-state tuition to illegal immigrants and then goes to Mexico and brags about it? Absolutely not.

Next, Perry slammed Arizona for passing Senate Bill 1070, which allows law enforcement officers to question suspects about their citizenship. The law also makes it a state crime to be in the United States illegally".

Wanna bet Perry flip flops on that issue.

Lol seriously? how does the presence of any of these people make racism or xenophobia impossible?
