Mexico Blasts Perry Comments About Islamists

MEXICO — Aug 23, 2014, 10:37 PM ET

Mexican Foreign Relations Secretary Jose Antonio Meade says Texas Gov. Rick Perry's recent statements about the possibility that Islamic fundamentalists could be entering the U.S. from Mexico are "absurd."

Perry last week asserted that "there is a very real possibility" that Islamic terrorists could be entering the United States from Mexico across what he called an "unsecured" Southwest border. But he added that there is "no clear evidence" that they are.

Meade said in a statement Saturday that Perry's statements during a Thursday speech were based on "beliefs, speculation and absolutely unfounded and absurd analysis."

2. Perry thinks he can ride his border security theater demogoguery to the White House.

3. "based on beliefs, speculation and absolutely unfounded and absurd analysis."

He didn't know that Perry is a typical Repuglican?

Has Perry ever said a word that doesn't fit in that category?

6. Perry's entire life is absurd. Sociopathological fool. nt

7. More Americans emigrate to Mexico than Mexicans to America in recent years.

Mexico should be worried about Republicans crossing the border.

10. Where did you get that "statistic"?

Are you referring to legal immigration only? Where is your source? Link please.

12. Here's one source...

One excerpt...

While Americans are moving to Mexico at a more rapid rate than Mexicans are moving to the United States, people of Mexican birth in the United States still far outnumber Americans living in Mexico. Nearly 12 million people born in Mexico lived in the United States as of 2011, according to Pew -- roughly one in three immigrants in America.

13. It should not be a big surprise...

Mexico's middle class is increasing as ours is decreasing.

Here one link:

"The recent development of Mexican economy has brought euphoria to international analysts, who keep comparing it to Brazil’s growth model,” wrote Daniel Gallas in BBC Mundo."

[candelista]

14. Because Mexico is sending its poor people to the US.

Naturally this would increase the proportion of the middle class.

"Brazil's growth model"? Brazil grows favelas. No doubt per capita GDP is up, because the upper classes are richer than ever before.

8. Yeah, and monkeys could fly out of my butt too

[Dopers_Greed]

9. "very real possibility"

Means "I'm talking out of my ass"

11. Sounds like someone just failed

The commander and chief test.

15. Keep on gabbing, Governor Goodhair!

If he keeps fouling up like this.....Wendy Davis could be a shoo-in! One would hope, anyway.
