Texas Governor Rich Perry has criticized the US government for failing to pass an immigration bill that would have legalized millions of illegal immigrants in the US.
Perry made the criticisms during a conference in Mexico City which was being held to promote business between Mexico and Texas. 150 Texas executives joined Perry at the conference.
The Texas governor is in favor of legalizing foreign workers if they are law abiding tax payers, which would allow a "free flow of individuals between these countries who want to work, who want to be an asset to our country and to Mexico."
Perry says, "I don’t think this is that difficult an issue if Congress would have the maturity to sit down and really discuss it and cut out all the mean rhetoric. We need those individuals to continue to grow our economy. The vast, vast majority of those individuals want to come and work and take care of their families."
