Rick Perry stands by Obama immigration conspiracy theory

Texas Gov. Rick Perry repeated an accusation that undocumented children coming to the U.S. from Latin American countries might be a result of an “ulterior motive” by President Obama.

“I have to believe that when you don’t respond in any way that you are either inept or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from,” Perry said during an interview Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”

“I don’t believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the United States is secure,” Perry said when he was asked by host Martha Raddatz if he stood by comments made in a June 17 interview with “Fox and Friends.”

“This president, I will suggest, is totally and absolutely either inept or making some decisions that are not in the best interests of American citizens,” Perry said during that interview with Fox News.

Perry also suggested that non-Mexicans crossing the U.S.-Mexican border are coming from Middle Eastern countries such as Syria.

“We also have record high numbers of other than Mexicans being apprehended at the border,” Perry said. “These are people that are coming from states like Syria that have substantial connections back to terrorist regimes.”

Perry said his criticism of federal immigration policy precedes the Obama administration, noting that he has sent requests for more federal border security to the White House for the past decade. However, his recent comments have taken on a more personal tone, suggesting that Obama is willfully allowing the current immigration crisis to unfold.

Many elections are close.

It has been proven that once a illegal child can stay, his/her close relatives are allowed to stay also.

The number of illegals in the US is far higher than the Federal Government will admit. It could be upwards of 40 million.

Most illegals want federal support and see the Democratic party as a source of government subsidies.

An amnesty program could make the Democratic Party a permanent winner (or at least for the foreseeable future) in national elections. Would this event make Obama happy?

a worsening Condition at the Southern Border could also give him the pretext to declare Martial Law,or at least some sort of National Emergency with the DHS getting to implement whatever measures they feel like!

I'm sure that Eric Holder could help him with that.

Eric is famous for that!

Governor Perry is a very smart man. He realizes that all's this is potential votes for the Democratic Party. This idiot (Obama, I have much respect for Governor Perry)hasn't done a damn thing for anyone while in office, well except for his friends and people who helped get him there.

What do you wanna bet after the 2014 elections we will see Bill Ayers as the new Secretary of Defense. The guy does know warfare, how to kill people, build bombs and hates America and is a dedicated National Socialist and under the Obama Administration those are the only qualifications you need. He would fit right in there with Kerry, Mr. Purple heart for a stubbed toe.

If he does that then Obama will just Federalize the National Guard(just like President Eisenhower di for the African American students to protect them which I fully support) in Texas and put them under his command. That would be a bad move by Governor Perry.

The White House announced that Obama will not visit the border on his upcoming trip to Texas. The three fund raisers he will attend are more important.

"President Obama needs a wakeup call — and visiting the border and seeing firsthand the severity of this ongoing crisis is that wakeup call," Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, said in remarks prepared for delivery on the Senate floor.

Seeing first hand would not make Obama give a chit about their conditions. He is only concerned about flooding the country with future
Democrats.

They'll be overloading our schools, depending on welfare and overloading our social programs....won't be nothing left for the ones who pay.
and more on the way....

LOL! I just about choked at that line! Good one! Perry's only politically smart, in that he acts very stupid in a state that rewards that disposition with important political jobs.


I'll take that bet. Any amount. I know you're just typing that crap for dramatic effect, but your point is silly. Bill Ayers has had nothing to do with such violence for decades, and even when he was with the Weather Underground, he was not in on the bombing that accidentally killed a guy, but go ahead and keep beating that dead horse because, you know, it worked so well for you guys back in 2008 and 2012, when Obama won by huge margins each time.

You'd be surprised how much brains it takes to fly military aircraft.

Too ludicrous to even address!

You calling him an idiot shows your ignorance. The military wouldn't let someone fly 30+ million dollar aircrafts if they are idiots. Only a very SELECT few of the applicants make it past the aptitude test. Not to mention he is an Eagle Scout, and graduated college with honors.

Yup, sounds like an idiot to me.

Really? You know for a fact he has not had his hand in violence for decades?

One comment he made recently rebukes that theory "We didn't do enough" No remorse he is a true psychopath, someone who is a psychopath do not change. His lectures inspire hate and rebellion, has participated in groups RECENTLY like Code Pink that block of and damaged military recruiting offices nationwide most notably Berkeley.

All said, I think I'll stay in Texas.

Do you know for a fact that he had? I was a very small child when he was alleged to have had anything to do with any of that. News reports say he was acquitted of his charges. I think I read somewhere it was because of some "technicality." Could be a poor case. He obviously hasn't been arrested since. Held a good job for a long time, since, too.

The "no remorse" you speak of is a misreading of his statement. Sure, you can take a few words here or there and change the meaning of his statements, but read the whole paragraph or whole interview and it's more clear that he wasn't in favor of any of that crap.

Blaming Ayers for the bombings of recruiter offices is like blaming any Christian for the bombing of abortion clinics. The link is tangential.

How would you know? Do you fly military aircraft? From what I've seen, they try to make them as easy to fly as possible.

The military only requires their pilot candidates to complete a bachelors degree and flight school. They don't even specify which degree one must get, so a pilot candidate could get a degree in physical therapy (like most football players), then sign up for the military (luckily avoiding the draft) and get assigned a seat in a big, aircraft, where they have the guy read checklists for nearly everything. I never implied that Rick Perry couldn't read. Maybe he should've had a checklist for that Republican debate back in 2008, when he couldn't remember that third thing before concluding with "oops."

Hey Mortimer, when is Jerry Brown going to run for president?
