Nothing. Not even a sanctuary city bill. From Rick Casey of the Houston Chronicle:
In his state of the state speech in February, Gov. Rick Perry declared, "We must establish criminal penalties for employers who knowingly hire workers who are here in violation of immigration law."The bill died. Rick Perry and the entire gop just simply wussed out. All talk and nothing else, and the reason shouldn't surprise anyone. The gop is owned by the home builders in this state with Bob Perry, of Bob Perry Homes, calling the shots. Perry didn't want the immigrants to go back home or to be hassled, or to have sanctions or felony charges brought up against him or his buddies for hiring illegal immigrants. I have written about it before:
Besides, according to some of the biggest donors to the republican party such as Bob Perry and Bo Pilgrim, Americans are lazy and incapable of doing hard work. From the Dallas Morning News (link no longer active)
But few young Americans want to do hard physical labor, particularly in our climate.Not only do they think Americans are lazy, they remind us that illegal immigrants are better than most Americans. The people who think they are republicans and put these clowns in complete control of the state got exactly what they deserve on immigration.
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.
Nothing.

Odd how you make opposition to illegal activity into opposition to an entire ethnic group. After all, Americans want to stop ILLEGAL immigration, not ALL immigration, and regardless of the point of origin of those breaking American law. That the current problem involves Mexicans is beside the point, unless it is your argument that Mexicans are incapable of following America's laws and therefore should not be held to the same standard as others. But that would mean that YOU are the anti-Mexican "racist", not Rick Perry or those who support secure borders.
your party is in full control of Texas, but did nothing about illegal immigration.
Why? Because those who donate to your party and control it WANT the cheap labor.
It is your party that talks.
Rick Perry did absolutely NOTHING on immigration this year. Your stupidity and comments should be directed at him.
Nice job avoiding the point of my earlier comment. You also fail to recognize that there have been two things stopping the implementation of such laws in Texas -- the Obama administration's efforts to stop all state efforts on illegal immigration and the efforts of filibustering Democrats (who shill for the lawbreakers) to paint opponents of lawbreaking as racists.
