Guess who’s got his own Executive Damn Order?

Yeah, Rick Perry.  The man without a plan.

So, here’s the deal.  Perry has issued an executive order that starts right now this minute that all state agencies have to use E-verify before hiring anybody. E-verify is “a federal electronic employee verification system that aims to prevent the hiring of illegal workers.”

Four years ago, at the height of Perry’s conniption fit about the federal government, he said that E-Verify would not “make a hill’s beans of difference” when it comes to what’s happening in America.

But now he says it’s shiny, dandy, and painted red.

“The E-Verify system has been improved, it’s been streamlined and it currently is the most accurate and efficient way to check a person’s legal work in the United States,” Perry said. “Though any steps taken at the state level must be backed up by a real federal commitment to fixing a broken system.”

Holy cow.  Did that man just say that the “federal government” needs to fix the broken system?  Those smart glasses must be working overtime.  Or not at all, depending on your viewpoint.

He’s issuing executive orders and asking for federal help.  Did he wake up in a new world today?

Thanks to Candyce for the heads up.
