Thread: Perry sinks himself

Perry sinks himself

You really have to be remarkably stupid to come out in rabid support of immigration when unemployment rates are effectively at 15.5 percent:

During Thursday night's Republican presidential debate, Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, and Rick Santorum all took shots at Rick Perry's record on illegal immigration. Bachmann said that Texas's law allowing in-state tuition for the children of illegal immigrants acted like a "magnet" for illegal immigrants. Perry's response was forceful and personal. "I don't think you have a heart," Perry told his critics.

"If you say that we should not educate children who come into our state for no other reason than that they've been brought their through no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart," Perry said. "We need to be educating these children because they will become a drag on our society. I think that's what Texans wanted to do. Out of 181 members of the Texas legislature when this issue came up [there were] only four dissenting votes. This was a state issue. Texas voted on it. And I still support it today."

Texans don't need to be educating Mexican children, they need to be sending them back to Mexico. This is simply an astonishing statement coming as it does on the heels of the report that 80 percent of the new jobs created in Texas over the last decade went to immigrants rather than Americans.

It's clear that neither party has any desire to represent the interest of Americans. The Democrats are the anti-American, pro-Wall Street party while the Republicans are the pro-corporation, pro-Wall Street party. In either case, the interests of Americans are simply ignored, when they're not being actively attacked. And it goes without saying that neither of them is going to do a damn thing about the ongoing economic catastrophe except to try to keep the banks afloat, both here and in Europe.

That nailed it, greed and corruption has brought America down,high gain short term profits placed as a higher priority then America and its workers. Anyone with common sense knows this game has a bad ending consumers need money/jobs to be consumers now once we have total poverty then where will wall street/corporations sell there junk products, back to China perhaps,don't think so.

Capitalism one of the greatest systems in the world can be destroyed by greed.

Let's hope that Romney isn't full of hot air. It's much easier for a candidate to say he/she is against illegal immigration, especially when unemployment is high. Wait until they get in the driver's seat and businesses start telling them they will fold, unless they get the cheap labor.

Not that weaning the US economy of illegals isn't doable:
1. Young people have to get off the illusion that there is a cushy, white collar job for anyone with a college degree.
2. The legal apparatus by which IA advocates chain us to dependence upon their labor needs to be overcome. Sure, US citizens will be displaced by technology; let that happen to a "minority" and you've got civil rights lawyers crawling all over your b---.

Still Romney has what it takes, IMO. I think he could have won in 2008. The more he talks, the more sense he makes. And he is not an extremist to any particular viewpoint.

I hope he keeps sinking and drowns.
