So now illegal immigration is the state responsibility? Have you told that to the Justice Dept?
It is the responsibility of both. The bulk of it may rest on the federal government, but the states should be doing some things to curb it where they can, including ensuring that illegal immigrants are not given the same status as US citizens or even legal immigrants when it comes to government programs.
Perry supported a TX version of the DREAM act that gave illegal immigrant students the ability to pay in-state tuition at public schools. How is that right? And it shows that Perry likely would support something similar on a federal level. And there is little evidence that he has done anything to curb illegal immigration into TX.
