Perry assails some limits on migrants

December 07, 2006 (1 min read)

"AUSTIN ? Gov. Rick Perry sharply criticized several immigration proposals Wednesday, saying 'divisive' ideas ? such as a wall along the border, cutting off public education for illegal immigrants and taking away 'birthright citizenship' ? should give way to 'real solutions.' 'Any of those types of legislation that create divisions are bad,' Mr. Perry told reporters at a meeting of public officials from the border region. 'We need to look at ways to be bringing people together, rather than driving wedges between them.' The comments put him in direct opposition to other Republican leaders, as well as the lawmaker leading the charge to challenge the right to automatic citizenship of children born to illegal immigrants on American soil. That plan is backed by the state GOP." Dallas Morning News, Dec. 6, 2006.
