So this clears the way for someone who can (a)actually debate and (b)has more affection for U.S. citizens than illegal aliens?
Perry's affection for illegals is based partly on his donors, and whoever replaces him will have some of the same donors, with the exception of Bob Perry, no relation, and who is deceased.
I'm sure Perry meant some of what he said about a guest worker program, about the tuition breaks for illegals, and I believe him a little bit when he talks about how he liked La Raza its leadership, but when all was said and done, the people backing him favored illegal aliens, and therefore he did.
So don't judge him too harshly, he did what he had to do to keep his donors happy.

Re:
... the tuition breaks for illegalsThese so-called tuition breaks are not specifically for illegals, they are for the children of illegals who have established long-term residency in Texas. These children may or may not themselves be illegal, but it is all predicated on long-term Texas residency, as well as acceptance in the schools. It's not like UT an A&M are throwing their doors open to people who have just walked across the river. (Yes, you can walk across the Rio Grande for much of its length. Think of it as a 1900 mile long creek.)

If he runs for Prez how will that accord with the rising public sentiment against amnesty, since it is suppsedly such donors who support it?
