the real problem is the GOP doesn’t represent the majority of americans who oppose illegal immigration.
FU perry FU Pataki
I'm afraid Trump is going to say the Hell with it, I don't need this crap I can just go back to living my life. Then nobody will advocate for strict border security and an overhaul of our immigration laws.
Rick Perry is confusing Mexican illegal aliens with Mexican Americans.
Yes their are many loyal, freedom loving Mexican Americans who do love this country and have died fighting for it. Trump was not talking about those loyal Americans.
Trump was quite specific who he was targeting, the illegal aliens flooding this country daily.
Democrat operatives and other candidates are omitting the “illegal” part of the discussion. Familiar tactics.
Like him or not, he is saying things on the minds of a vast number of Americans, but who are afraid or reluctant to actially say it for fear of being criticized or other reasons.
He is on to something.
Perry just grabbed the p c approved version of the immigration tar baby with a full embrace.
There are a ton of Obama administration screw-ups to campaign against. We have to quit letting the media set the issues.
I can't believe Perry and/or his advisors are so out of touch with that distinction that he stepped into it. Or maybe I can. Perry does seem to suffer from foot-in-mouth disease.
Perry, why, on earth, did you wade into this and support the liberal meme?
Idiot.
Of course Hispanics in America hsve served nobly. But Mexicans coming now illegally ate not noble.
wheat.....chaff.....separating out nicely.
Looks like Perry took the bait. This signals the death knell for his chances at the nomination. The GOP is getting very dangerously close to destroying it’s own party as they attack their own members. Perry must realize that the enemy is the Democrat party (not Donald Trump). The GOPe are utter fools, all of them utter fools.
The United States is being invaded by Criminals ,but that’s OK
“Perry, why, on earth, did you wade into this and support the liberal meme?”
Think you may have answered your own question. (wolf in sheeps clothing)
We must not offend criminal foreign invaders after all they are only a national security threat.
Why would Hispanics be offended when these criminal foreign invaders are moving into their neighborhoods putting them and their families at risk? I dont see them moving into the rich white gated communities
Sadly Perry is right. Trump’s remarks don’t represent the GOP.
The GOP is too busy caving to the cheap labor express and supporting illegals over citizens.
From their own mouths they shall convict themselves.
Who is this Perry fellow anyway?
Hispanics in America and Texas, from the Alamo to Afghanistan have been extraordinary people
My ears must be different than many of these GOP candidates.
I would expect fake outrage from the left but not from the so called conservatives. Trump qualified his statement as he spoke. Did no one hear it? “I assume there are many who are good people.” The conversation was about illegals, not about Mexicans. Those GOP who appear to be outraged just lost my support for their gutless response.
There are many ways the condidates could have approached this. They chose to make points by joining democrats in a bashing circus.
Rick Perry failed at the border. Now he is critical of me. He needs a new pair of glasses to see the crimes committed by illegal immigrants.-——therealdonaldtrump Twitter
Oh, they offer up the market tested CoC pablum of "Border Security", "Against Amnesty" "Hardworking Immigrants" and "Comprehensive Immigration Reform".
And, amazingly, it does not look like they know that EVERYONE knows they're full of sh!t.
