You're right about Perry and his weakness on illegals, but like it or not, they're here and we have to deal with them in some way. I would like to see them all carted up and shipped back home, but it's very clear now that no one is going to advocate that--at least no one who will ever get near the Oval Office--so we are left with how to deal with them.

Perry wants to lock down the borders to stop both the drug traffic and the coyotes smuggling illegals, I'm pleased with that. He is for some sort of permitted work status for illegals; not great, but better than leaving them completely undocumented and still within the borders.

. . . And then there's the Texas Dream Act . . . again, not what I would want, but better to have them educated and literate than ignorant and on welfare--and the Texas Dream Act is not the total sell out that the Democrats "Dream Act" is.

Yeah, illegal immigration is his weak point, but he is strong in so much else in which I believe, that I must support his campaign.

Perry is by far the most electable conservative in the race. He is capable of galvanizing the American electorate behind the right like no one since Reagan.
