Gov. Perry has sincerely apologized (didn't say "If you were offended...") for saying people "didn't have a heart" if they didn't try to understand why Texas has had to work around problems the Federal government has caused and refuses to fix. Rick Perry's frustration got the better of him because he has been a border governor fighting for a very long time to secure the border, and has done what can be done on the state level, has fought the courts and pleaded for the INTERNATIONAL border to be sealed, has put (to date) $400 Million TEXAS state dollars and boots on the border. He is the only candidate running who truly intends to seal the border -- and NO amnesty.

I can support Governor Perry, but your opinion about his “didn’t have a heart” comment doesn’t make sense. If I was a governor who was working hard to solve an immigration problem created by the federal government, I wouldn’t strike out at those citizens who actually oppose illegal immigration. If I did, I certainly wouldn’t blame them for being heartless. I might be mad at them for not understanding how hard I was trying to fix the situation, but saying they didn’t have a heart if they didn’t support in-state tuition for illegals? That reveals a lot I think. Nevertheless, I also think Perry has the necessary executive experience and enough conservative ideology to make a better president than Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney.
