Perry is the one who chould be begging for the Walker Texas Ranger, it sure helped Huckabee.

Jan doesn't need Chuck Norris.

When Jan stands at a urinal to pee, Chuck asks "how high?"

No. Bill White is so pro-illegal alien that it's sickening.

Granted, Perry isn't much better, but it's a matter of choosing the bare lesser of the evils.

If I am back in Texas (not likely) by election time, I will have to hold my nose (AGAIN) and vote for Perry. Not a fan, but......

In NM, the choice is very easy.

Dude, I lived in Texas continuously from 1982-2004, and before that continuously from 1970-1980, as well as 1957-1961. I know the scene there and I know the Mexican menace is a big political fraud.

I don't see how you could have lived as long as you did in Texas, and then make a statement like that.

Do you people realise that there is less illegal border-crossing going on now that at any time in recent history?

Cathy, how do think Texas or any of the other border states would function without undocumented workers from South of the border? Wake up.

We'd function just fine.

The pronounced effect that illegal aliens have on schools, hospitals, unpaid emergency room bills, our overcrowded prison system and crime would be greatly reduced, and we'd ALL be better off. What they cost us in all ways is so much greater than their cheap labor benefits.

I grew up 100 or so miles from the US-Mexico border, and I have spent most of my life in areas where illegals are a problem.

As someone said, it's easy for you to sit up there in the NE and say that illegal immigration is OK.

YOU wake up.

Neither Perry nor White gives a damn about how illegals affect us--and I wish we could clone Jan Brewer and Joe Arpaio, and put them everywhere.
