It seems that you missed the point.

Children of illegals are no more entitled to help in college or any other taxpayer paid perks than children of bank robbers are entitled to enjoy the money.

I thought that put it in perspective.

The biggest enemies Rick Perry has are his record and his mouth.

address what he would do with immigration as President.

Oh yes he did address what he would do as POTUS but Santorum was yelling over him and it was hard to hear.

I just wonder WHERE on the TX-Mex border Santorum went to...it does make a difference.

But we know Santorum knows more than the guy who has had to deal with it for ten years.

I'm getting really teed off with these idiots who think they know no more about TX than Texans!

Is there a process by which illegal aliens can work on gaining citizenship?

No, there is not. And Perry supporters know that.

One cannot apply for US citizenship if they are in this country ILLEGALLY.

"I am just asking for the candidates to be treated fairly."

I found a cute picture of Ricky the RINO for you and it looks like he is also upset about not being treated fairly.

Do a google search on “Rick Perry Amnesty”

All you can find is innuendo and smears.

Rick Perry: "I support a guest worker program that takes undocumented workers off the black market and legitimizes their economic contributions without providing them citizenship status."

Those are not innuendo and smears, they are Rick Perry's own words taken directly from the website of the Office of the Governor of the State of Texas.

When you take illegals working here now and decide that they will be considered legal from here on out that IS amnesty. Choosing not to call it that doesn't change what it is.

Abraham Lincoln used to ask his audiences, "How many legs would a dog have, if you called its tail a leg?"

People would answer "five."

Lincoln said "No, that's not right, you can call a tail a leg but that does not make it so."

That's just not true.

Below, and in his own words, Perry says he is for amnesty.

But just to be clear: if border security is accomplished, you can envision some sort of path to citizenship for people who are here illegally.

Rick Perry: Sure.

"Sure" is an affirmative response.

There is no current process by which an illegal alien can become of citizen and it makes no sense to give a college eduction it a person that can never work in this country.

That is unless, Ricky the RINO thought he would pass Amnesty on a national level.

I was responding to a post that they could come here one day and immediately get instate tuition. They can’t. When you apply for college you send your school transcript. They have to have been in a TX school for three years. I nveer said they had to be here legally for three years, just that they had to be here. Try reading my actual post next time, and don’t put words in my mouth (or keyboard).

I think it's ironic that some of these FReepers don't realize that Perry is what they've been waiting for but are closed-minded and hung up on immigration lies and a bad debate. I think some are brainless rather than heartless.

I have to LOL when I read that some support a candidate who they say is doing the right thing by not running and debating. Do we need a candidate who is afraid to debate HER fellow Republicans?

New meaning to "running scared" IF she is even running! She is so do-nothing brilliant.

“and legitimizes their economic contributions without providing them citizenship status.”

THAT IS STILL AMNESTY!

Amnesty is when someone has broken the law and it is decided that we will not punish them.

Foreign nationals who are in the country illegally and take jobs illegally who instead of being deported as the law requires are then allowed to stay and live and work here legally by definition are receiving AMNESTY.

I hope you are wrong, but it is also possible you are right.
However his win in Florida tells me he will be getting stronger with time.

Actually I chose this ID to specifically to draw attention to the folly of Bernanke. He must be fired ASAP.

I like Herman a lot, but has anyone asked him about his involvement with the federal reserve?
Has Any candidate received the level of scrutiny that Perry is getting?

I doubt many Freepers have been waiting for a presidential candidate who gives in state tuition to illegal aliens.

I doubt many Freepers have been waiting for a presidential candidate who wants to create a system of bi-national socialized medicine for both people in The United States and Mexico.

Me too...but wait till he is vetted...the wolves are circling the wagons now. Mittens has his guys all over this...and all his buddies in all the media companies will be printing as much garbage on him as Perry.
