That’s very grandiose talk.

Thing is though Perry killed his own chances with his own crap style and crap views on immigration.

"... Perry killed his own chances with his own crap style and crap views on immigration."

That is your crap view - not Perry's. Perry's 'views' on immigration have been amply stated and acted on in Texas.

In short, Perry is against "sanctuary cities" for illegal immigrants and favors legislation that would allow local officers to request information on a person's immigration status - and be enabled to throw illegals back across the border once those officers see that someone is here illegally.

He favored a Texas law that allows the children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition rates at Texas colleges and universities. NOTE carefully, they must PAY. They are not a drain on either the state of Texas or the US taxpayer. In fact, they contribute to the education establishment.

As governor of Texas, Perry increased security operations along the border with Mexico and increased funding for border security. He doesn't favor a fence, but he wants the FEDS to do their job, which isn't being done.

He has used state police to protect the border from Mexican drug cartels, and has repeatedly asked the FEDS to do more to secure our borders - not just in Texas, but all of it, both north and south.

I just wanted to say that Herman Cain won’t kill all the illegals or build a 5-mile deep minefield between Mexico and America. Nor will he simply deport them all.

Herman Cain is weak on immigration.

We need someone tough on immigration, and Cain ain’t the one! There’s no way I could vote for anyone so weak on immigration!
