This guy is about as far-right as you get, he has job security, and he's one of the big names that could win the 2012 repub nomination. Tea party loves him. He's as States Rights as they get - he even talked about secession. And he has concerns about this law.
Perry: Arizona immigration law not right for Texas
Source: Houston Chronicle
AUSTIN Arizona's tough new illegal immigration enforcement law would not be right for Texas, Gov. Rick Perry said Thursday, upholding the state's long-held tradition of rejecting harsh anti-immigrant policies...
I fully recognize and support a state's right and obligation to protect its citizens, but I have concerns with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas, Perry said in a written statement.
For example, some aspects of the law turn law enforcement officers into immigration officials by requiring them to determine immigration status during any lawful contact with a suspected alien, taking them away from their existing law enforcement duties, which are critical to keeping citizens safe.
