Let them see first hand what is happening and perhaps they can return to Congress and influence their fellow congressional members to start working on immigration reform, pass the bill Obama has sent to them requesting funds to speed up the processing of those who have already arrived and give funds to put the national guard on the border. It is funny when it was suggested Bush put the guard on the border they came up will something which would not allow the guard to work on the border, now that it is a democrat president I guess that rule went away. Perry is interested in the photo ops, he is running for president, he has not really been concerned about the border since 2001 when he became governor. He could have gotten something accomplished but the real truth is neither he nor Bush wanted to stop the flow since it provided their buddies with cheap labor. Did Bush ramp up the fining of employers which hired those who did not have the proper papers, hell no, come on down boys, we need the cheap labor.
