I looked at the link to the FR thread saying that Perry was for "comprehensive immigration reform" in 2006. The article there shows a link to a letter that Perry and 3 other govs supposedly wrote to Hastert, but the link does not work. Do you have a good link to that actual letter?

According to this link, the letter wanted them to do something, but not specifically amnesty. All I can find are comments about the letter.

The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S. 2611) was a United States Senate bill introduced in the 109th Congress (2005–2006) by Sen. Arlen Specter [PA] on April 7, 2006. Co-sponsors, who signed on the same day, were Sen. Hagel [NE], Sen. Martinez [FL], Sen. McCain [AZ], Sen. Kennedy [MA], Sen. Graham [SC], and Sen. Brownback [KS].

It deals with immigration reform. It proposed to increase some security along the southern United States border with Mexico, allow long-time illegal immigrants to gain legal status, and to increase the number of guest workers over and above those already present in the U.S. through a new "blue card" visa program.

Comprehensive immigration reform is code for amnesty. It is now and it most certainly was back in 2006. Americans knew it was amnesty and opposed it in great numbers. I find it impossible to believe that RINO Mitt Perry didn't know what he was asking for in his letter that was signed by 2 liberal democRATs and his fellow RINO, Arnold SchwarzenKennedy.

The letter was available several months back on the net. I can no longer find it. I believe it's been scrubbed, just like Perry's cheerleading pictures back at A & M have been scrubbed from the net.
