I don’t know Rick Perry’s past stands on immigration, but if he is going to win the GOP primaries and the fall 2012 presidential election, he has to be firm against amnesty, for border enforcement and for deporting illegals found here. Once president, he better hold to these promises as going soft on illegals just to let some employers exploit cheap labor is a bad move. Legal Americans need jobs and will do a job if not pushed out by an illegal.
Perry’s going to speak out of both sides of his mouth...... He will use the word “secure” the border but is absolutely against ‘closing’ the Border.
He has much to loose by not securing the border for his Industrial/Corporate entities who have ‘paid to play’ and have their cheap border labor.... They need the freedom from the criminal element rampid there which threaten Perry’s plans for the area, already fast moving and operational,...which is a huge plan to integrate his border with Mexico’s.
