Who said I blame Perry for anything? I don't. I just asked a question - which you haven't answered. You guys are really good at this! You get all defensive, project all kinds of BS onto anyone who simply asks a question and then?
Dodge (which you have done)
Change the subject (which you have done)
Label or project the asker (which you have done)
Insult (which, to your credit you have not done!)
Cut & Run.
I do not blame Rick Perry for the illegal immigrant problem in Texas.
I do not approve of the original "Papers Please" law in AZ. It has already proven a tool for abuse, harrassment and worse.
See how easy that was! Those are called direct answers.
I haven't answered your question? Direct answers?
Reality check 1: Scroll back to
your post, where to my question you're replying with two questions. I am one who asked the question first, so how am I the one who dodged the question?
Reality check 2: My first question was: Isn't that (borders) responsibility of the federal government? My follow up post I asked again: Are borders responsibility of federal or state governments? If I am one who asked the question first, and you haven't answered neither that one nor the follow up, and both of my posts are about the same thing, then how I changed the subject?
Reality check 3: If my question is "answered" with two questions, are those direct answers?
Reality check 4: My question is: "Are borders responsibility of federal or state governments?"
Your answer is: "Wait. So you're against states taking matters into their own hands e.g. Arizona? Or is that your view only when it's convenient to the Conservative at hand?"
These are no answers. You made statements where you're guessing what my opinion is and forcing me to pick one of your choices.
So, if you really know what direct answer is, here is my question for the third time:
Are borders responsibility of federal or state governments?
