Because that would be totally false and his record and statements prove it. Perry opposes amnesty but you oppose Perry so you lie about his positions.
.."“You can put a program into place in which these individuals can be identified, and work visas in which they can move back and forth between their countries but not to become United States citizens,” Perry said. “And I think that’s where McCain, that’s where Romney, that’s where even Bush went wrong when they talked about the issue that, ‘we’re going to give amnesty to these individuals,’ and people just said, ‘no, we’re not.’”..

Two points:
Bob L is even against allowing them to legally work here.
Then, he mistates Perry’s plan to allow them to legally work here but never to grant them amnesty/citizenship, by using the terms “legalizing 10,000,000 of them”.
When most people see those words they think it does mean amnesty and citizenship.
Thanks for the call out on that lie.
But let us recall, it was Reagan who did that, not Perry.
In addition, Perry’s plan is in concert with SECURING THE BORDER.
Herman Cain got off the electrified fence horse and got on the Rick Perry BORDER SECURITY PLAN horse.
Military on the border, greatly increased Border Patrol and in concert with help from Texas Ranger border strike force, drones and other high tech assets, strategic fencing where it has been shown to work which is primarily in urban areas...

Again, I NEVER said that Perry wanted Amnesty, directly. I have said that the Dream Act MUST lead to Amnesty, unless the plan is to have INS people at their graduations to handcuff them and put them on a bus to Mexico.
I have also NEVER said that this plan to LEGALIZE 10,000,000+ people, rather than get rid of them is Amnesty - but I have said that as long as they remain in the country, we will ONE COURT RULING from having them declared citizens (or a future president/Congress doing the same).
What Perry is saying that these illegals will now be allowed to work here for decades into the future, but NEVER allowed to vote. What are you smoking this morning?
