Here's Perry's own words on his drive to unite the borders of Mexico with the US...as follows
Gov. Perry....."We must continue to deepen our economic ties (with Mexico), expanding opportunities for Mexican and U.S. companies to do business on both sides of the border. We share a bond as neighbors, and we find.... "our culture north of the Rio Grande to be increasingly defined by the strong traits of people of Hispanic descent."
$6.3 million in funding ...'to hook up colonia residents in six mexican border cities to water and wastewater lines.'.... More than 18,000 residents will benefit from these water or wastewater hookups. Texas voters can ENSURE that their Mexican neighbors in colonias have quality roads so that school buses, emergency vehicles and postal trucks can reach residents, and residents can get to a job or a school reliably.

Perry in no way is interested in doing anything about illegals in his state...the door is wide open....to integrate the entire border.
I believe the issue you are referring to is considered “free trade” and a “free market system”.
___
Free Trade: Free trade is a system of trade policy that allows traders to trade across national boundaries without interference from the respective governments. According to the law of comparative advantage the policy permits trading partners mutual gains from trade of goods and services.

Free Market: A free market is a market free from state intervention. However, the term is also commonly used for markets in which economic intervention and regulation by the state is limited to tax collection, and enforcement of private ownership and contracts. It is the opposite of a controlled market, in which the state directly regulates how goods, services and labor may be used, priced, or distributed, rather than relying on the mechanism of supply and demand. Advocates of a free market traditionally consider the term to imply that the means of production is under private, and not state control or co-operative ownership.
