Your partly right, it will be a big issue during the general when Perry racks in 60% of the hispanic vote or more.
Your missing the big picture.
Yeah, just like Reagan, Bush II and McCain got 60% of the Hispanic vote for their stances on illegal immigrants.
Just like how California is a solid conservative state now since the state's demographics have shifted ever more Hispanic.
Oh wait, that never happened. And you don't actually believe it will happen this time, but shilling for Perry and being honest don't exactly go hand in hand so it's understandable.
