There is no question he is right.
I've read posts from freepers who live on or near the border and they've made great points about what can and cannot be done. I've looked at Perry's position and he has it right.
The country is never going to support taking all the children and loading them into box cars and shipping them to a country they've never been to and have no connection to other than genetics. So what do you do? I think the best thing is to try and make Americans of them and secure the border. Also, get a fed govt that will enforce the law with employers and make the penalties so severe that they don't want to hire illegals. But then again this position makes me an "ILLEGAL lover".
Its complicated, but to lay illegal immigration on Rick Perry is preposterous.
