You are either ignorant of the facts or you are deliberately lying.
Perry has done more to secure the border than Obama has or any of the Republican candidates.
Perry and his Attorney General went to bat for Arizona against the Federal Government in the lawsuit.
Perry is for e-verify but only after it is fixed and working accurately.
Perry is for a fence in areas that it will work.
Perry does not support any tax subsidies for illegals.
Texas Universities make a NET PROFIT of $11 million dollars a year from tuition PAID by kids who were brought over the border by their parents that have qualified for college.
And regarding your LaRaza statement:
You are confusing this group with a group called Raza Unida.
The one Perry talked to does not believe in Reconquista.
Here are some facts and you can research to find out for yourself at the NCLR website: http://www.nclr.org/index.php/about_us/faqs/the_truth_about_nclr/other_issues/
Some critics mistakenly assert that activist Professor Jose Angel Gutierrez was a founder of NCLR.
In fact, while Gutierrez was a key player in a number of Mexican American organizations, including the Mexican American Youth Organization (MAYO), the Brown Berets, and the Raza Unida Political Party, he never had any connection to NCLR.
Indeed Jose Angel Gutierrez himself has articulated a clear distinction between himself and his allies and NCLR, an organization he criticizes as being cautious and careful.

misconception about NCLR is the allegation that we support a Reconquista, or the right of Mexico to reclaim land in the southwestern United States.
NCLR has not made and does not make any such claim; indeed, such a claim is so far outside of the mainstream of the Latino community that we find it incredible that our critics raise it as an issue.
NCLR has never supported and does not endorse the notion of a Reconquista or Aztlán. Similarly, NCLRs critics falsely claim that the statement Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada, [For the community everything, outside the community nothing] is NCLRs motto.
NCLR unequivocally rejects this statement.
