Perry's fithcal conthervatism(tm) isn't going to undo this:

[La Raza]Violence in Denver

The success of the alternative school and Gonzales' political achievements were overshadowed in 1973, when a man was arrested for jaywalking in front of the Crusade's headquarters.^[20] A protest against the persecution was organized, leading to confrontations between demonstrators and police. Soon, a gun battle erupted, and a bomb exploded in the upper floors of the Downing Terrace apartments, which were in the possession of the Crusade.^[21] One man was killed and seventeen were injured, among them 12 police officers. Gonzales accused the Denver police department of grenading the facilities, but a detective described the scene of the explosion as a "veritable arsenal".^[22] Historians and scholars have yet to evaluate the impact of the bombing, but later prosecutions of Crusade participants served to diminish the influence of Gonzales and his organizations.
After this incident, Gonzales retreated into the private life of his family and Denver's Chicano community. He was still active in the movement, although he maintained a much lower profile.^[23]

^"Ooops"

There's no evidence at all that La Raza's organizationally violent and racist spots have changed since then -- and if that's the crowd Perry is pandering to, then:

NO SALE.

Thanks for coming in Rick. Have a nice day.

Next applicant please?

I just watched the video link you provided. I heard nothing in Perry's address that I disagree with. This group is the largest hispanic civil rights group in the nation and they were holding their convention in San Antonio, where Perry agreed to speak. In his address, he underlined his sentiment that the federal government is not doing their job on enforcing border security. He also mentioned to this large crowd of hispanics that Texas spends millions of dollars of taxpayer money every 2 years to send state-level law enforcement to protect the Texas border. The nucleus of his message was that he wants our border secured, but since it is not, Texas has to deal with the aftermath the best it can.

Man that is just HORRIBLE isn't it? How dare he address a group of hispanics and tell them he wants our border secured.

By the way, the still images of Perry pandering and lending legitimacy to racist organizations like La Raza, have nearly been scrubbed clean from the Internet. I'm mean 99.9 percent of them have simply disappeared.

This is why others are forced to obtain still images from media videos.

You'll note the news media are moving away from still images and instead are posting more and more videos, making it difficult for many people to post a simple, readily viewed still image. As opposed to having to post links of some video, where half the people don't even bother viewing them due to the video time duration etc, etc.
