He enthusiastically signed the act giving tuition to the kids of illegals a decade ago, I'm sorry, any excuse that "everyone was for it" doesn't cut it, that was Rove at his worst and Perry doesn't yet understand how wrong that was. He called out the Arizona law as wrong, doubling down on his free tuition to illegals calling those who don't agree "heartless" showing us who he really is, a hispanderer; frankly we don't need another one of those. Reading about his pandering speech to LaRaza frankly makes me ill.
Once upon a time I defended Perry, saying we will soon see what he says about this issue on the campaign trail, and now that I've seen and watched, he gets an "F" and no support from me. That should be true of any conservative, he is not the conservative alternative to Romney his supporters claim he is, he just isn't.
They weren’t attempts - the links work.
You really ought to consider all the Governor has done for Texas rather than focus on one word and one law.
For one thing, no candidate is without mistakes. Consider the days that Cain went around talking about 1960 to 1981 and saying he hadn’t had time to research it.. Or the problem he had with making abortion illegal, but not allowing a President or government to interfere with the choice of the family to do something illegal.
On the other hand, Governor Perry knows exactly why he’s pro-life, pro-family, pro-10th Amendment and is very clear on the boundaries of the various governmental units from the family to the Feds.
Texas is the perfect example of “supply side” finance and the result of limited interference on the part of government with business. All of this while standing on the front lines of the border and of border control.
