Nice try, The New Republic. Don't even think we're going to let you set the terms of the discussion.
Guest worker programs have been around for decades. Nobody has a problem with that.
As for a path to citizenship, it depends on what Perry's idea of what that path looks like.
I think we can keep him in line if he tries to pass something that smells of amnesty.
The way I see it, if there's enough Tea Partiers in The House and Senate to stop President Bamboozle from getting his way (ha!), then there should be enough to stop President Perry from going off the reservation on certain issues.
I think it's worth taking a chance.

Just like we have kept the won in line, like he hasn’t issued executive orders that all but nullify the current immigration law. I have heard crickets chirp louder than the Republican leadership, on this complete usurpation of the authority of Congress.
“The way I see it, if there’s enough Tea Partiers in The House and Senate to stop President Bamboozle from getting his way (ha!), then there should be enough to stop President Perry from going off the reservation on certain issues.”
Exactly! And Perry would be a damned sight better than BHO because, even though more conservatives in House and Senate could stop BHO on many things, he’s signed many horrific EO’s under the radar and would continue this, he’s appointed two radical, anti-Constitution SC justices (so far!), he’s using czars and cabinet heads to do his bidding by completely bypassing Congress, and his anti-US, anti-Israel, pro-Islamist foreign policy is destroying us with both friends and foes.
Like him or not, Perry, by no stretch, has a goal of taking our country down.
BHO does.
The simple fact is that we MUST have an electable candidate or BHO wins four more years and America’s done.
Yes, Perry’s worth the risk if that’s how it turns out. I think he’d hold his own in debate against BHO, while Romney would get shaken, which I saw him do in the primaries of ‘08.
