Who’s Afraid of E-Verify? Opponents of a border fence (e.g. Rick Perry) say we shouldn’t build it because what’s needed is a program to turn off the “jobs magnetâ€

The preemption clause taking the legal field from states is a problem though.This bill needs to be stopped and push Grassley's bill instead.

Texas governor Rick Perry opposes border fence, in Mexico
Texas governor Rick Perry - supporter of the Trans-Texas Corridor - said lots of things on a trip to Mexico today:
..."I don't think [immigration "reform"] is that difficult of an issue if Congress would have the maturity to sit down and really discuss it and cut out all of the mean rhetoric and really talk about what is a solution to this issue," Perry told a news conference.

Regarding immigration reform, Perry highlighted the importance of developing a foolproof biometric identification system to track individuals and to ensure that they pay taxes and "live within our laws."
Did I just hear boots off in the distance, or was I just imagining things?
He suggested offering renewable, 24-month visas for those who follow such requirements and "incarceration and/or deportation" for those who do not.

He added that, under such a system, he would support a "free flow of individuals between these two countries who want to work and want to be an asset to our country and to Mexico."
Since those are (I believe) two different countries, they will always have competing interests. Thus, it would appear that Perry foolishly thinks people can completely be an asset to both at the same time.
Perry also said Texas has given a blueprint for securing the U.S.-Mexico border to the federal government.

"We know how to deal with border security, and you don't do it by building a fence," he said. "You do it by putting boots on the ground; you do it by using the technology that's available ... and coordinating very highly with local, state and federal officials.
Why do our elected officials keep making trips to Mexico and making questionable comments there? A past example comes from WA governor Chris Gregoire but Nancy Pelosi set the gold standard back in 2003.

Pelosi: 'Republican Record on Border Security Is an Unmitigated Failure'
Nanci Pelosi has ordered the following to be promulgated:
The primary obligation of elected officials is to protect the American people and to protect our borders.

"Reports that the Bush administration cannot muster even half of the National Guard troops scheduled by the end of this month for deployment at the border demonstrate yet again that the Republican record on border security is an unmitigated failure. It is unacceptable that nearly five years since 9/11 our nation's borders remain in a perilous state of insecurity...
Needless to say, that's rich. In "Nanci Pelosi, supporter of sweatshops, opponent of citizens and laws" I offer the following 2003 quote about the WalMart raids:
"We think there might be a better way to go about this because the fact is that it is against the law for the employer to hire these people so there should be more focus on the employer and less in these terrorizing raids."
It's statements like that that encourage illegal immigration. In fact, she almost sounds like a Wal*Mart flack.

She's called illegal aliens her "constituents" and she supports allowing people to access federal buildings using Mexico's Matricula Consular card.

In short, Nancy Pelosi is as strong a supporter of illegal immigration as president Bush. While she's right about the National Guard, she and Bush are still on basically the same side of the issue.

Friend --

You got an email from the President a couple days ago, inviting you to sit down to dinner with him.

I know some people might think this is just some kind of trick or something. It's not.

The fact is that someday soon, four people reading this note right now will be on a plane to have dinner with President Obama in Washington, or Chicago, or wherever he might be that day.

Think about that for a second. The four people who win will sit down with the President of the United States of America -- not for a two-minute photo-op or a quick meet-and-greet, but for a private meal with face-to-face conversation. That's just not something too many people will ever get to do.

The President obviously has very little time to spend on anything related to the campaign. And this is how he chooses to spend it -- having real, substantive conversations with people like you.

This is really something you should be a part of.

Donate $5 today and you'll be automatically entered for the chance to have dinner with the President and three other supporters.

Worst-case scenario: you don't get selected. But if you donate, you'll have pitched in to support an organization that's funded at the grassroots level by folks across the country -- not Washington lobbyists or special-interest PACs. You'll have given this campaign a boost, however small, to hire organizers, open offices, and build our organization this fall so it's ready for the hard work ahead of us.

And best-case scenario, you'll find yourself sitting across the dinner table from President Obama.

So give it a shot -- donate $5 or more today:

Someday Soon? A trick, yea you bet cha it's a trick, a trick to get ya to buy a $5 ticket to win dinner somewhere with someone i can't stand the sight or sound of. pretty funny. I joined the " attack watch" and send them a made up version of an attack and will continue to do so once or twice a week. Give them something to do that will not cause any more damage than already done.
