Perry is against amnesty...but in his own words he just wants to give illegals a path to citizenship and let them come and go freely.
In his own words:
“We have a pathway to citizenship in this country today: its get in the line and do what it takes to get here legally. You cannot have a comprehensive discussion about immigration reform until you secure the border.”

"just wants to give illegals a path to citizenship"
Sarah Palin told Univision in an interview in 2008 when she was the candidate for VP that she supported a pathway to citizenship for illegals.
