Perry launched a new attack (new to this campaign, at least; it had beenbeen used in the 2008 campaign) on Romney for hiring a landscaping service that employed illegal immigrants.

I personally thought this was pretty lame and made Perry look petty. Can Perry prove that he checks the immigration status of every worker of every company he has ever used? When he does that, he might have a leg to stand on. But I doubt anyone does that - who has the time?

But if they are a FRIEND of yours’ from YOUR church, you might have a clue if they were at your house every week for more than a year?

You might want to google about Romney hiring illegals before you defend that lying POS on this.

First Romney said it wasn't true, then tried to shout Perry's comments down. He defended himself by saying he can't be responsible for the employees of a company he hired just because they don't speak English.

But, he knew it was the truth and was exposed. The Boston Globe went and told Romney he had illegals working at his house. It was in the newspaper. When they went back a year later, they were still working there.

It was not lame of Perry to point out Romney as being hypocritical. It was not a matter of Romney "checking employment status," it was the point that the newspaper did it, and Romney did nothing.
