Does it matter if it’s 12 or 30 million? May as well cede the southwest back to Mexico if they’re given a path to citizenship.

Perry’s taking money from plenty of pro-amnesty lobbyists and donors. What do you think they expect in return for all that money - a thank you card?

Let me know when Perry suggests something like that. Until then, I have no reason to believe he would offer them amnesty if elected.

If he is in bed with illegals, why did he just push legislation to stop sanctuary cities in Texas?

He didn't until everyone raised hell about it, and he didn't exactly push it.

None of the RINOs publicly admit to favoring amnesty, but they all do. That's the problem with Perry. His actions don't match his rhetoric.

Everybody knows Perry's basically in favor of unlimited immigration, and will probably push a path to citizenship if he gets in. He has a long history on the issue, and it's not good. He threatened to use veto power if anything like AZ1070 (which actually works) came across his desk. He also has a long list of donors and supporters who are militant open-borders and pro-amnesty. If there's one thing Perry's consistent about - it's doing what his donors pay him to do.

He pushed AFTER he got reelected and before he started thinking about running for President. So, I don't see any reason to believe his actions weren't sincere.
