Perry opposed the Arizona law. He is an open borders zealot, even to the left of Bush and McCain.
Pretty easy to use the first thing that pops up in a Google search.
From this:
...Republican Gov. Rick Perry earned applause from the crowd [at a meeting of the Texas Border Coalition] when he said strategic fencing along the border makes sense but the idea of a complete wall or fence is "preposterous."
Instead, he wants the federal government to establish a guest-worker program that will allow the government to track workers, he said.
...Perry was asked after his speech whether it was a good or bad idea to do away with citizenship as a birthright [via proposed Texas legislation].
"I think any of those types of legislation that create divisions are bad," he said. "We need to look at ways to be bringing people together rather than driving wedges between them.",/b>
Liar. Perry opposed it because it is unconstitutional, and the job of the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT to secure the border. He believe in accountability and has endeavored to bring accountability to the Obama administration since that fell asleep on border security on Day 1.
Perry said the Arizona law wasn’t something he thought Texas would adopt. He said Arizona could do what they wanted, because he believed in State’s Rights.
Perry rated “Good” on Border Security by NumbersUsa, in an otherwise dismal showing. SO even the adamant anti-illegal-immigrant groups don’t buy your “open borders zealot” argument.
