It's probably no huge surprise to anyone living here, but Texas can claim at least 1.2 million Tonks as being resident here. We are second to California which has about double that number living there. The majority of the Tonks in Texas are Mexican. Nation-wide, the total Tonk population is estimated to be about 8.5 million (which is a 5 million increase since the estimate made in 1990).
During his last campaign for the Governor's office, Rick Perry asked all legislators to refrain from passing "divisive" measures of legislation. Perry asked for this because he said that he didn't want Texas to "appear like Arizona". Then, in 2009 and in 2010, he changed his position and called for State measures which would punish businesses for hiring illegal aliens.
Perry has long said border security must come before immigration reform. In 2007 and again 2009, lawmakers dedicated about $100 million to border security efforts, at his request. Now, at this point, the Yankee government has fallen down on this issue, so he's taken a stronger stance on employer sanctions.
This Aggie - this man-of-mystery - this will-he-or-won't-he-run dude needs to be held to account for the words his handlers have placed into his mouth. Texas, right now, could take a few lessons in creceando huevos from Arizona. So could Perry.
