I don’t know if Ricardo will flame out and crash or not. But I do know that if he were to renounce his open borders policy and adopt the sort of get-tough immigration measures Americans overwhelming support he could easily zoom back up in the polls (i.e., if he could convince people that it wasn’t just another election year conversion).

How do you ZOOM BACK up in the polls when you’re leading by 30%?

I have problems with Perry's tuition for illegals but let's be honest here. The borders is a federal matter and the border problem is the failure of Washington DC. It's not the governor's job to seal the borders. Let's blame Obama when he's due for blame. He surely does not hold back from blaming republicans (even when republicans are not the blame).

Remember, it was Perry who has been requesting that Obama 1000 troops and aircraft be sent to the Texas/Mexico border, It is Obama that refused.

It was Obama that has said that sealing the borders before getting Amnesty would take away the incentive to get Amnesty. Now THAT'S a crime.

I assume you are supporting either Cain or Bachmann. They are the only ones that score high on illegal aliens, deportation and NO amnesty.

Closing the border now is too late to help Perry this cycle. It could help a lot for a 2016 run.
