From Perry’s own speech.

“President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it.”

You had better know your facts before calling someone a liar. Anyone can go and see the transcript of his speech and see how open boarders he is.

Anyone can go and see the transcript of his speech and see how open boarders he is.

Completely out of context.

What he actually said was he will be for open borders just as soon as Mexico becomes Canada (i.e., never).

If you do not put that in context..It is VERY misleading.
"President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it.

An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity.
It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease,
and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity.

Clearly we have a long way to go in addressing those issues."

please read the list, and note that the burden is on Mexico.
