This is the bit everyone will miss about what he said:

Perry said, noting that that was especially the case when the United States has, in his opinion, essentially told Mexicans for 40 years, “come on over, its okay, don’t worry about breaking the law.”

People do not understand that Perry has been on of the most forthright of politicians on the matter.

The problem is at the Federal level.

Indeed. It’s all about sound bytes rather than context. Perry said quite a bit in that short segment.

Heaven forbid the Perry-haters examine what he said about the BLM land grab, Bundy, or (gasp!) the 10th Amendment in that segment. Instead they’ll holler “LaRaza” & “heartless” at one of the few men who can back up his promise to make Washington inconsequential in our lives.

So be it. Flame away!

A lot of what he says I would agree with. I would have also followed it up with “And what we need to do is take away their incentive for coming here illegally. Enforce the existing laws. Stronger I.D. checks when they apply for welfare and other services that they are stealing from our poor. And make it REALLY tough on those that employ them illegally that are only concerned with larger profits.”

(See how I brought out that I am in favor of helping our poor, and am against the profit-mongers - angling for the “common man” vote!?)

Agree, mylife. I caught that on the first read. Perry is not saying he embraces amnesty, but the blame for so many illegals in the US now lies with the failure of the Feds to enforce the Immigration Laws. ......Prez Ike showed it could be done when he deported 5 million in Operation Wetback.

So?

Did he say we need to correct that problem now by effectively closing the border and using all of our tools available to do that? Like E-Verify, shutting down all forms of economic freebies to illegal criminals, etc?

Or did he empathize or sympathize with them and state it really wasn't there fault, just like your quote from him?
