In a column for the Daily Caller, Tancredo, who ran twice for his party's presidential nomination in an effort to inject the illegal immigration issue into the larger debate, is slamming Perry for his soft policies on illegal immigration in Texas -- and what Tancredo calls his "Muslim blind spot."
"What is not yet as widely known about Perry is that he extends his taxpayer-funded compassion not only to illegal aliens but also to Muslim groups seeking to whitewash the violent history of that religion," Tancredo writes.
"Perry endorsed and facilitated the adoption in Texas public schools of a pro-Muslim curriculum unit developed by Muslim clerics in Pakistan."
Tancredo cites a study by The Center for Immigration Studies, which shows that 81% of the 279,000 jobs created in Texas in the past four years went to non-citizens, a high number of them illegal aliens, to discredit Perry's central presidential argument -- that he's overseen a 'Texas miracle' of job growth while the national economy continues to decline.
And in 2008, as Tancredo points out, Perry helped expand the Muslim Histories and Culture Project, a teacher-training program spearheaded by Texas Ismailis that introduces Islamic history and culture curricula into Texas schools.

But..but...those are facts and the Perry bashers on FR demand quick soundbytes, half truths, and lots of rumors. Stop confusing the issue with facts dang you.
The only thing being revealed is your ignorance and penchant for smearing others with half truths and falsehoods.
Perry is not for open borders and neither am I. Perry wants the Feds to secure the borders and so do I. Perry opposes blanket amnesty and so do I. Like me, Perry is a Constitutional conservative and a patriot.
Or, what if Romney wins the nomination, picks Perry as his VP and Perry accepts. What’s everybody going to say then.
Two civil questions in a row. Must be record for you.
Okay, I’ll answer, but first you apologize for being an a-hole.
You just can’t help yourself, can you. I’m never an a-hole, so I can’t apologize for it, you on the other hand....
I have been known to be a bitch when somebody deserves it, but I never apologize for it.
I’ve added my son to this so maybe you can ask him.
You deny he passed laws which rewarded illegals and their families which literally encouraged more illegals to pour in?
Yes or no?
Pathetic accusations get you nowhere. Don’t call yourself a man when you act like a boy.
So you're just a pathetic whiner.
Good for you.
Not playing your game.
Perry did not reward illegals.
The in-state tuition is not a reward, or a freebie.
Perry is not for open borders
You deny he passed laws which rewarded illegals and their families which literally encouraged more illegals to pour in?
Come on tough guy.
Yes or no?
It’s both, you just refuse to admit it. If you’d like, I’ll help you find your integrity. It’s gotta be around here somewhere.
What kind of cockn'bull claptrap is this?
Ya think anyone buys that crap Mr. Perry supporter?
He runs for the tall grass really quick!
Just not willing to waste my precious time on a bunch of ne'er-do-well's.
You deny he passed laws which rewarded illegals and their families which literally encouraged more illegals to pour in?
Yes or no?
Perry did not reward illegals. The in-state tuition is not a reward, or a freebie.
Of course it is.
I'll be very honest with ya. Myself and many others here and elsewhere are clearly seeing many of you Perry supporters for what they are.
You and some of your Perry friends, are some of the most disingenuous and obnoxious people on this forum.
This in-state tuition issue --- which I do not support and my state of Colorado just voted down in April --- is a states rights issue. Meaning a decision for the states, on a state by state basis. Perry is a huge supporter of the 10th amendment and its call for a return to the Founders vision of federalism.
Now I'll tell you something. You anti-Perry posters fall into three categories: ignorant of the facts; acting as political operatives; or just a bunch of pigheaded yahoos. In your case it appears to be the last choice.
Adios, amigo!
Yes or no?
Perry did not reward illegals. The in-state tuition is not a reward, or a freebie.
Of course it is. Gezzz.
is the failure of the federal government
Here we go again...Perry is Governor for 10 GD years, he passes laws aiding, abetting and rewarding illegals, as millions pour into Texas during his administration...All during a period when Bush, another president from Texas was in power. Hello?
Ya starting to see bit of a pattern here?
I dont think Perry is a fake but I dont think he will be all that strict on the border issue..Romney won’t either. Cain is the only real conservative running.
Don’t take my advice on candidates. I supporter Hunter on 08 and McCotter this year. I keep forgetting that Fox News joins the MSM is deciding who gets to be on stage. And conservative acquiesce.
Khan (thinking)..."What a proud momment. I sign in honor of the Prophet, peace be upon him."
Perry (thinking)..."R"..."i"..."c"...."k"...
