Immigration Politics: Perry's election-year emergency on immigration

As the November election approaches, more on the political hypocrisy and demagoguery of the immigration issue, this time in Texas

Perry's election-year emergency on immigration | Editorials & Opinions: "Right on schedule, Gov. Perry lashed out last week at sanctuary cities. He always talks about immigration before elections. Just not afterward. Perry has been governor of Texas since last century. As Democratic opponent Bill White has said, Perry has had years to do something about immigration.
