Perry is misunderstood in this area, as well as misquoted. Perry believes that we should patrol the borders with military guard and stop all flow of illegals across the border. His belief that if they join the Military and serve this country, that they should be granted an exception. This is not new. All sorts of non citizens joined our Military in WW2 and won citizenship after it was all over. Many of them also died for our country.
In this category, they deserve to be rewarded citizenship. Perry is right to have the courage to take a stand on this issue in my opinion.
So you are unaware that Perry has stated he supports a path to citizenship for ILLEGALs and not just those who have served in the military?
