I don’t think Perry can win unless he makes a 180 on this.
And I am not sure Perry’s personality will allow him to cave on this after he has dug in.
Everything else is meaningless, this one issue is what’s killing him.
I will be disappointed if he did. That is what attracts me to him, his strength of conviction and not backing down.
No I don’t agree with the in-state tuition but it is not the monster that so many would love for us to believe. 98% of the issues I agree with him on and I love that he doesn’t back down.

He probably wants to hit Willard as a flip-flopper (and rightfully so) and so doesn’t want to open himself up to the same charge. But it also looks like he is a true believer of an open border policy (ala Jorge B. and Juan M.). Therefore, even if he came out with a mea culpa and adopted a strong position on sovereignty, border control, and immigration enforcement it would be suspect.
I’ll say it again: if Willard and Ricardo are the two leading candidates, as so many like to tell us, then our choices are pathetic.
Should it be a deal-breaker if the alternative is Romney?
That’s the real question for conservatives.
