...”And like all of you in here, I still believe in the exceptionalism of America. And to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, America remains the last best hope for mankind. We must never forget that the exceptionalsim of America can be traced right to our founding principles. The framers of our Constitution were the first in history to declare that all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights. The hand of providence has guided America throughout our history. From those first colonists to arrive in the New World, to the courage of George Washington during those darkest hours at Valley Forge, to the defeat of tyranny during two world wars and the cold war.
Time and time again, America has been the source of light in a world that’s been beset by darkness. And like a lighthouse perched on the shore, we have provided the safe harbor to millions who have been adrift in a sea of economic misery.
We can still be the country we aspire to be – a source of light and hope to all who live here and those who come here. Anchored by our ideals, we can rebuild on the solid foundation of truth, instead of the shifting sands of moral relativism. We can restore hope at home while projecting our values abroad. We can be the freest and most prosperous”……[video cuts off] - Perry
Translation......."To all who want to enter the USA...come on in, we'll take care of you".
Perry doesn't get it that the immigrants who once came to this great nation, assimilated and became Americans, are not those coming in today. Who design their own communities and do not assimilate as Americans. Further their agenda is to conform and make America into a copy of their otherwise agenda.
So of course I don't buy his rhetoric....his actions do not stand the test.
