“Herman Cain: “Here is my approach to illegal immigration. Here again, this is what’s resonating with the people. How I would solve the problem. It’s not as simple as, would you deport. We must secure the border. It would be a combination of a physical fence, technology and in some areas we might have to put troops there. We must secure the border. Secondly we must promote the path to citizenship that’s already there. We need to clean up the bureaucracy. Third enforce the laws that are already there. The way you do that is number four, which is a bold idea – empower the states to do what the federal government can’t do and won’t do as far as dealing with illegals that are in the United States today.” “

Isn’t this EXACTLY Perry’s view?

His “empowering the states” line is a cop out to avoid really getting on record on some meaty issues. He side stepped the deportation issue and I don't blame him, now he wants to put the onus on the states to do the Feds job? Why not give a real plan of how he will do the Feds job. Because he really doesn't have a plan and if he goes on record to match his rhetoric he will have to stand by it. He would rather make speeches and hope no one notices the game he's playing.Perry has 5 million a month to spend and that is without getting any new donations. Perry aint going anywhere.
