Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas
Tea Party groups from around the state want Gov. Perry to call a second special session of the Texas Legislature to address a ban on so-called “sanctuary cities.” In this open letter to the Governor and others, they argue the legislature didn’t take the issue of illegal immigration seriously enough to actually do anything about it.
The letter begins “We write to express, in the strongest possible terms, our disappointment over the outcome of the regular and special sessions of the 82nd Legislature, in which every single one of the dozens of common-sense immigration reform bills died.”

Given Gov. Perry’s impending decision on whether to run for president, something he’s said he now “feels called” to do, I can’t imagine a scenario in which he calls lawmakers back to Austin this year.
