GOP top donor, Bob Perry, kills Tea Party's sanctuary bill

The teabaggers hoped that Rick Perry was not just puffing up like a big bird and only talking tough about immigration. They expected action, but didn't realize who runs the Texas GOP, the Texas Legislature, and Rick Perry. Teabaggers, meet Bob Perry who is working to kill your sanctuary bill. From the Houston Chronicle:

AUSTIN — As two of Texas' most politically-involved business leaders emerged as opponents, a bill banning "sanctuary cities" lost crucial momentum Friday, raising the possibility the measure will be killed or substantially weakened before the special session of the Texas Legislature ends Wednesday.

HillCo Partners' lobby team, led by Neal T. "Buddy" Jones, is working on behalf of Houston home builder Bob Perry and San Antonio grocery store magnate Charles Butt to alter a proposal that would permit law enforcement officers to inquire about the immigration status of people they detain, Jones' partner Bill Miller confirmed.

It doesn't surprise me that Bob Perry is protecting his investment in cheap labor and it doesn't surprise me that the teabaggers didn't know this, after all, they were stupid enough to believe in "Death Panels". Perry has a history of voicing his support for undocumented, cheap, labor from south of the border even claiming in an OP-ED to the Dallas Morning News:

But few young Americans want to do hard physical labor, particularly in our climate.

Not only that, but immigrant workers renew and reinvigorate America. They remind us what it's like to give a job your all. We talk about old-fashioned family values; they live them.

These are good people with good values doing work that we need done, reaching for the American Dream and helping make it a reality for all.

Let me break down what Bob Perry and other top gop donors are saying so teabaggers can understand: White folks are lazy and immigrant workers are cheap. So, what are the baggers doing to do now?

Probably nothing.
