Rick Perry et al pander to Mexicans/Hispanics to get elected today. But at the same time they poison the well and eliminate chances for conservatives to win anything 10-15-20 years from now due to the flood of anchor babies eventually voting. We will end up with a few conservative states like Idaho, Nebraska and North Dakota while Democrats will be running every place else

Always the short time thinking. What is in it for me to win elections and screw those who come after me

Exactly. Also, there is no thought about the consequences of illegal alien coddling:

• Less jobs for American citizens.
  
• More competition for government services, welfare, etc.
  
• More incentive for illegals to swarm over our borders, fill our schools, fill our prisons and insist that Spanish be treated equally or even superior to English.
  
• No tuition breaks for native kids from West Virginia, Montana and elsewhere. It wasn't their fault their parents didn't bring them to Texas to get in-state tuition rates either.
  
• Nobody is seriously suggesting mass deportations, they are advocating gradual reduction via attrition through enforcement. That's a far less extreme position that the Perry-Bush approach of deporting nobody and continuing to put out incentives for illegals to come, to stay and to replace our culture with their same failed culture which caused them to flee in the first place.
