Responding to your “heartless” comment;
Perry said, “If you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they have been brought there by no fault of their own, I don’t think you have a heart,”
Of course, we are required by the Federal government to educate them through 12th grade. Perry preferred enabling them to PAY instate tuition to attend college rather than have them enter the welfare system.
Rick Perry’s Record on Border Security;

Cain said, “I would build an electrified fence on the border, and ‘yes, it could kill people’.”
The next day he said “it was a joke”.
But still later he reversed again and said, “I’m not walking away from that”.

Maybe “heartless” is all a matter of Christian “perception”.
Potlatch, thank you, you said it better then I did and thanks for the links too.

Herman Cain has a history of having a tough stance on illegal immigration. He doesn't only support a border fence, and that's not the only thing he's said regarding illegal immigration. He supports the Arizona and Alabama immigration laws, and said he would give them a medal instead of suing them. He's also said he would consider using the military on the border, and actually allow them to be armed and able to defend themselves against drug cartels if needed. He supports a wall on the border, and he's against the DREAM act. He supports enforcing the laws we have on the books. Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he believed Cain was serious about doing something something at the border to stop illegal immigration. Herman Cain has a Conservative TEA party ideology when it comes to illegal immigration in every way. He was also endorsed by Tom Tancredo who is known for his extremely tough stance against illegal immigration.
There is absolutely nothing that makes Perry even comparable on the issue of illegal immigration. Perry is probably the absolute worst Republican candidate you have when it comes to illegal immigration, while Herman Cain is the best. Herman Cain is actually against illegal immigration unlike Perry, which gives people a little more confidence in who would make a better President who could solve our nations problems. Herman Cain is the only candidate we have had to take illegal immigration serious, who is also in contention for the nomination, in my lifetime and we shouldn't let this opportunity to nominate him as our Conservative Republican outsider candidate pass by, and get him in the White House because we might not see a candidate taking it serious again. Herman Cain is the Conservative Republican to support if you see illegal immigration as the extremely serious problem that it is.
