That's what Rick Perry did in his last election against former Houston Mayor Bill White. He paraded around the widow of a cop who was killed by an illegal and said that it was because Bill White wasn't going to have his police force ask for immigration papers that illegals were out there killing people.

That was the worst period in the immigration debate because the hate against us was at an all time high with Arizona and Alabama passing "show me your papers" laws and most of the states had already passed laws taking away driver's licenses from those who already had them.
