Perry said, “if you don’t want to allow children brought to this country illegally — through no fault of their own — to pay instate tuition, you don’t have a heart. [paraphrased but has the “heart” part]
However, saying he used the word “heartless,” is in vogue -- just like RINO.
He has apologized for saying it. He didn’t say, “if anyone misunderstood....” He said it was inappropriate.
[Perry: “I was probably a bit over-passionate by using that word and it was inappropriate,” Perry admitted. “In Texas in 2001 we had 181 members of the legislature – only four voted against this piece of legislation – because it wasn’t about immigration it was about education.”]

He didn’t say “Have a heart”, did he?
He said I don’t have a heart, because I don’t agree with his policy of in state tutition for the children of illegal aliens.
Big difference.
I don’t care if he apologized, because he meant what he said, and I did not misunderstand him.
