Rick Perry..We don't need a fence!

I found an interesting article by a fellow Texas Conservative that I thought you might like to see.
If you live in Texas, Please pay attention! If you care about your state, follow the instructions and let Mr. Perry know this is an important issue and not to fool with our Great State and Nation's sovereignty..

Rick Perry's Immigration Flip-Flop

It's not everyday a politician makes a remark as scandalous and inflammatory as our Governor Rick Perry did on August 29, when he was in Mexico for trade talks. The Republican let slip this beauty:

"I don't think this is that difficult an issue if Congress would have the maturity to sit down and really discuss it and cut out all the mean rhetoric," said Perry.

Now, looking at this statement without the advantage of knowing what issue Perry is talking about would be quite difficult and you wouldn't be able to automatically discern what exactly the "mean rhetoric" represents.

Here's a hint though, as there is one key word in the opening paragraph that serves as the catalyst for these remarks: Mexico.
Our Republican governor was discussing immigration, easily the most contentious issue currently being debated in America today. But he wasn't addressing an American crowd, but was venting his thoughts on the issue in Mexico City, shortly before he was to meet with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who himself is lobbying on the behalf of his people for the right to colonize our country.

Perry continued his diatribe in Mexico City by criticizing the United States Congress for failing to pass the comprehensive immigration bill early this year that would have legalized tens of millions of workers in our country.

This is truly mind-boggling, but typical of a Republican in such a high office as Perry. First, Perry shows an utter contempt for the Texas population and American population who were overwhelming against President Bush's immigration proposal that was shot down in July of this year by the U.S. Senate.

Secondly, Perry spoke these words in Mexico City, the citadel of the effort to remake the United States in Mexico's image.

Truthfully, though, the home-base of the effort to permanently alter the United States is in Washington D.C., where our duplicitous elected officials have worked to undermine American laws and grant amnesty to illegal aliens residing in our country.

If not for the wave of righteous indignation that arose across the country in April, May, June and July against President Bush and the Republican/Democrats who wanted to grant amnesty, Governor Perry would have gotten his wish.

Perry would go on to say:

"We need those individuals to continue to grow our economy," he said of Texas' undocumented workers, most of whom hail from Mexico.
"The vast, vast majority of those individuals want to come and work and take care of their families."

This type of statement is silly and indicative of the lunacy of the pro-immigration, amnesty supporters in the debate. You always hear and read how America's economy is improved by illegal immigrants and how the immigrants are only coming to America to better their lives.

Well, Governor Perry, despite the mountains of evidence that run counter to your argument - which will be dissected in a later column - the question to you is simply this: What does your statement mean to the average American family, struggling to get by due to depressed wages and the availability of cheaper workers? Are immigrants actually improving the life of Americans?

Perry also said:

"We know how to deal with border security, and you don't do it by building a fence,"

And

"Part of the reason for the shrillness of the debate over immigration, he said, was that media have given a "megaphone ... to people to say mean and nasty things."

How exactly Perry believes the United States knows how to deal with border security is never answered. What we do know is that our borders are still wide open and that a fence is still nowhere near being built, which would, of course, work to deter illegal immigrants from entering the U.S.

Perry believes the best way to deal with border security is to simply do away with the U.S./Mexican border, and allow the free migration of migrant workers to flow without any sign of stopping.
Perry is the one who has been given the megaphone in this instance, and he is the one saying mean things - to those of us who believe the laws of our land should be upheld.
   
Simply put, these comments from Perry show that we as Texans must work together to do something about our border security, if our elected officials won't.  We must alert our state representatives about our dissatisfaction with Perry over this issue and should also tell the Governor that we aren't happy with his remarks in Mexico.
   
Flood Perry's office with calls, e-mails and faxes letting him now your thoughts on the issue and telling him that we must have a fence to stop the illegal alien flow and also that pro-illegal alien rhetoric is no longer going to be tolerated.
