So when referring to ILLEGAL immigrants receiving in-state tuition, Perry says:

"..it doesn't make any difference WHAT THE SOUND OF YOUR LAST NAME IS."

Is Perry insinuating that if we are against rewarding ILLEGALS, for breaking the law, we are racist?

Even many Hispanics are against ILLEGAL immigration. Are they racist, too?

Perry has been very consistent in calling those who want to enforce immigration law against the illegals "divisive" and "anti-immigrant." His plan to give the illegals legal status is nothing but amnesty.

I cannot support Perry for that reason, although I will support whoever is the nominee in the general election against Obama. But if Perry wins, it will be a short-term and pyrrhic victory because legalizing the illegals will give socialists the future margin of victory.

"Divisive language on the subject of border security and immigration reform is simply not constructive or useful in solving the problem. We cannot be a nation that is anti-immigrant because we are in fact a nation of immigrants."

See Perry's Own Words On Illegal Immigration.

Like all the hispanderers in the GOP it only matters if your last name ends in -ez, -es, (or some other hispanic suffix) but if your last name ends in -ski, -icz, (or some other Eastern European suffix) you can go to hell.

Immigration, just so you know, is not about immigrants anymore - it's about hispanics.

Remember George Bush wanted to create a "new America". Perry et al have picked up the mantle...(Maybe Jorge could have simply said he wanted to "transform America" instead)

We are now one of the largest Spanish-speaking nations in the world. We're a major source of Latin music, journalism and culture.

Just go to Miami, or San Antonio, Los Angeles, Chicago or West New York, New Jersey ... and close your eyes and listen. You could just as easily be in Santo Domingo or Santiago, or San Miguel de Allende.

For years our nation has debated this change -- some have praised it and others have resented it. By nominating me, my party has made a choice to welcome the new America.

Our future cannot be separated from the future of Latin America.

As I speak, we are celebrating the success of democracy in Mexico.

George Bush from a campaign speech in Miami, August 2000.

You can read the speech here.

Here is an excerpt of a good critique of that speech:

In equating our intimate historic bonds to our mother country and to Canada with our ties to Mexico, W. shows a staggering ignorance of the civilizational facts of life. The reason we are so close to Britain and Canada is that we share with them a common historical culture, language, literature, and legal system, as well as similar standards of behavior, expectations of public officials, and so on. My Bush Epiphany By Lawrence Auster

Thanks for the transcript. I’ve been looking for this excellent answer.

SANTORUM: I think we need to hear what Governor Perry’s saying. He’s saying that his policy was right. He believes that what he did was right. He thinks he went about it the wrong way.

I believe your policy is wrong. Why — ladies and gentlemen, why do we inoculate people with vaccines in public schools? Because we’re afraid of those diseases being communicable between people at school. And therefore, to protect the rest of the people at school, we have vaccinations to protect those children.

Unless Texas has a very progressive way of communicating diseases in their school by way of their curriculum, then there is no government purpose served for having little girls inoculated at the force and compulsion of the government. This is big government run amok. It is bad policy, and it should not have been done.
