Republicans are quick to blame Mexican immigrants but they change the subject when shown figures which prove fewer Mexicans are here now than were in Texas 10 years ago. Please note that the Hispanic population of Texas has grown quite a bit, but the growth came from Americans of hispanic background, some of whose families have been in the area when it was still Mexico, which is to say before 1836.

Perry also repeats the fable that Texas can pull away from the US whenever it wants to. That provision of statehood expired before the Civil War was fought, but Perry knows so little about the history of his own state he still thinks this is possible.

Rush Limbaugh has been pushing Perry for Prez, but all this proves is that Rush knows very little about Texas now or in the past.
