He said the following on a trip to Mexico:
“I support free flow of individuals between these two countries who want to work and want to be an asset to our country and to Mexico.”
“When he first took office as governor in 2001, Perry went to Mexico and bragged about his law that granted ‘the children of undocumented workers’ special in-state tuition at Texas colleges, the first state in the nation to do so…
“Perry opposed Arizona’s tough anti-illegal immigration law SB 1070. ‘I have concerns,’ he explained, ‘with portions of the law passed in Arizona and believe it would not be the right direction for Texas.’…
“Numbers USA, a group that supports immigration control, gives Perry a ‘D-’ for his positions supporting amnesty, open borders, and opposing border security…
“In [a 2007] speech he came out against building a fence along the U.S.-Mexican border. Perry also came out in favor of blanket amnesty for illegal immigrants in 2006, albeit without citizenship, supporting ‘a guest worker program that takes undocumented workers off the black market and legitimizes their economic contribution.’”
