The truth is absolutely irrelevant to you, isn’t it? You KNOW Perry is not pro-illegals and yet you continue to repeat the lie over and over. It is extremely disappointing to know that a so-called conservative would continue to lie—just to try to destroy another candidate.

"You KNOW Perry is not pro-illegals"
Give me just one shred of evidence that this is true.
Everything Perry does supports ILLEGAL coming through the porous border.
He talks a bunch of B.S. and does everything he can to prevent a Border Fence being built along the ENTIRE Border.
Did Perry Create Jobs for Illegal Aliens?
Governor Rick Perry (R-Texas) has pointed to job growth in Texas during the current economic downturn as one of his main accomplishments. But analysis of Current Population Survey (CPS) data collected by the Census Bureau show that immigrants (legal and illegal) have been the primary beneficiaries of this growth since 2007, not native-born workers. This is true even though the native-born accounted for the vast majority of growth in the working-age population (age 16 to 65) in Texas. Thus, they should have received the lions share of the increase in employment. As a result, the share of working-age natives in Texas holding a job has declined in a manner very similar to the nation a whole.
If nearly half the of the jobs Perry claims to have created went to illegal aliens, this statistic coupled with the governors willingness to give non-citizens a free ride on education, reflects an astounding lack of seriousness and leadership on these issues.
As conservatives continue to discover Perrys real record in Texas, they continue to be disappointed in what they find.
