Perry Comes Out Swinging on Illegal Immigration in Iowa Rick Perry Report ^ | Oct 8, 2011 | Joe Hyde
Sounds like Dim Rick is running away from his earlier comments about possible legalization for illegals.
Numbers USA ranks all the candidates on immigration. Bachman is best with a B minus. Obama gets an F minus. Perry a D minus for his opposition to a fence, in-state tuition for illegal aliens, opposition to e-verify and support for some kind of legalization program (amnesty).
Also worth noting that John McCain swore his vehement opposition to Amnesty, despite having his own name on the biggest amnesty bill in human history. The dodge was that his legalization came with a token fine and some paperwork...so it was not in his view really an amnesty per se. Similar deal with Dim Rick as an earlier poster noted.
This is Slick Rick at his finest!
He always takes the position that "amnesty" when he is talking means "voting rights."
So in his mind, if we legalize the illegals, but don't give them voting rights, it's not amnesty!
But people who don't talk like double-talking professional politicians know that amnesty means taking someone who has broken the law and deciding not to enforce the penalty required by law.
