Youd have hated Reagan since he granted amnesty to millions of illegals.
This again?
OK, here are the facts concerning Reagan's Amnesty:
1. It actually had enforcement included in it, tough sanctions against illegals and employers that were never implemented. The same cannot be said about McCain's Amnesty bill that Perry backed.
2. Reagan admitted to his son Michael that his Amnesty bill was probably the biggest mistake of his political career
3. The hope was that his bill would solve the problem by legalizing those here and removing the incentive for future Illegal Immigration (see #1 and #2).
4. The amnesty did nothing but increase Illegal Immigration, because Illegals saw no downside to coming here illegally.
5. Given #1, #2, #3, and #4, why does Rick Perry still think it's a good idea to give Amnesty to the Illegals currently here in the US?

The point was, no one is perfect. If you look hard enough at a politicians record you will ALWAYS find stuff you disagree with.
We can only vote for those who are actually running, not some mythical “perfect” conservative that doesn’t exist, never held office (so no record), or isn’t running.
Of the ones that are actually running, or thought to soon be running Perry is our best hope for electing the most conservative person possible this cycle.
