"“We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, ‘we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there. And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers."

-Rick Perry. The Patron saint of border jumpers.

Now lets compare this with say the position of what many on FR consider a liberal leaning Republican President's Teddy Roosevelt:"We should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birth-place or origin.

But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American and nothing but an American. If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American. There can be no divided allegiance here. . . We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, of American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding-house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people."

So I think I am safe in saying Perry is very left of center on immigration.

If there are 30 million illegals in America, that’s enough to populate more than 50 congressional districts. We can’t afford any more moderation on the border if we are to have any hope of preserving our nation.

Conservatives need to man up and stop looking the other way when it comes to the newest political idol of the moment.
