I have a little problem with the logic. The article said "to allow illegal immigrants to move freely" but once they got the visas, they wouldn't be illegal immigrants; they'd be legal.

ding ding ding ding We have a winner!

Some will argue with you that it's not amnesty, but making it legal for somebody who is here illegally is dang close to an amnesty. They were breaking the law, but under Perry's plan, they would no longer be breaking the law.

Right, they would not be breaking the law, but they would not become citizens. What would you do and do you see any chance they will all be deported anytime soon? We can all hope. But we must secure the border.

“Some will argue with you that it’s not amnesty, but making it legal for somebody who is here illegally is dang close to an amnesty.”

...and it becomes Amnesty once a judge or Congress deem it so. These Illegals have roots here (i.e., houses, families, extended families), they CANNOT become guest workers in the traditional sense...where they have a home to go to after the work is done. We MUST get rid of this bunch first, and then talk about guest workers. If they stay, they will DEMAND to become citizens, just so they can vote Republicans out of power...which may be Perry’s REAL long-term goal for the country (why else take this path?).
