A Perry Administration would look EXACTLY like a Bush Administration.

A Perry administration would get "guest worker" legislation passed through Congress, something only Bush and McCain could dream about. A few years back, Perry actually said Congress wasn't mature enough to pass legislation that would make it legal for illegal immigrants to work here in the US. He's been angling for something like this for the better part of 10 years, and while his biggest donor being a home builder has probably shaped his views, I think if Perry got in and got guest worker legislation passed, he'd pick up the Hispanic vote for the GOP, and then the Democrats would be finished. Perry is governor of a state made up of 45% whites, 38% Hispanics, he knows what the GOP needs to do to destroy the Democrats.

Eat more CROW!

The "donor bit is debunked above with your first helping of CROW! Now here is your second helping of CROW! And you can add that to the other day when you were pushing a Houston lawyer called Bob Perry (not the builder Bob Perry) and Karl Rove saying he was his big time friend and you edited and sold it as being said about Rick Perry. You are not to be trusted with the truth.

Gov. Perry and The Texas Dream Act

[snip]

It’s important to point out that there is a huge difference in the Texas Dream Act and the The Dream Act that was pushed in Congress and failed. The Dream Act in Congress was full of all kinds of goodies other than allowing children of illegals to receive in state tuition. The Texas Dream Act was focused only on that. I happen to agree with The Texas Dream Act, and so did everyone in the Senate in Texas. It passed with ZERO “no” votes. Add to that, it has been proven to be successful.

These are a few things you need to know about the [2001] Texas Dream Act. The child has to have lived in Texas the three years leading up to high school graduation. These students are given no special treatment in getting into Texas colleges and universities. They must get in on their own merit. They are paying the tuition (with or without financial aid). It’s estimated that these students make up about 1% of those entering college.

Most of us agree that border control MUST be dealt with first. The problem with all other efforts on this issue in the past is that the borders were not sealed. If there is anyone who we can trust to do that it is Gov. Perry (if he decides to run for President). He knows what goes on down at the border. He has gone there many times. He knows what needs to be done. There is no doubt in my mind that if he were President, he would seal our borders. But Perry also understands Hispanic outreach.
