So some of you might think Rick Perry is the best thing to come along since the opening of the first fast food joint. Well, let me bust that bubble, well that is if you are concerned about illegal aliens, undocumented workers for the brain washed among us.

Nationalist conservatives care more about securing our own borders than securing the borders of other countries. They are against handouts for illegal aliens. They want a wall built along the Mexican border to stop illegal aliens and gangs. They�re against amnesty, oppose birthright citizenship, and believe illegal aliens should be deported, not coddled. They believe jobs should go to Americans first, and not to illegal aliens.

How good a candidate is Gov. Perry on these issues? He stinks. He is the worst of the Republicans and here are 10 reasons why:

1. Open Borders: Former Congressman Tom Tancredo, in a devastating article that appeared in Politico on August 11, 2011, notes that Gov. Perry gave a 2001 speech in Mexico, no less, saying he supported completely open borders, in which he called for the �free flow of individuals between these two countries who want to work and want to be an asset to our country and to Mexico.� Apparently, there can never be too much immigration from Mexico for Gov. Perry.

2. Border Fence: If you�re for open borders, you don�t want a border fence. The AP reported that in the same 2001 speech in Mexico, Gov. Perry says, �But the idea that you�re going to build a 1,200 mile wall � is idiocy. It absolutely would not work.�

3. An Arizona-style Immigration Law for Texas: Gov. Perry is against interior enforcement of our immigration laws. During the debate over Arizona�s anti-illegal immigration SB 1070, he opposed enacting something similar in his state, saying, �It would not be the right direction for Texas.�

4. Amnesty: Gov. Perry said Congress didn�t have the �maturity� to reform our immigration laws, by which he meant granting amnesty. The �Washington Watcher� at Vdare.com notes Gov. Perry has called for a �guest worker program that takes undocumented workers off the black market and legitimizes their economic contributions without providing them with citizenship status.� In other words, at a time when a record number of Americans are out of work, Gov. Perry�s job-creation plan is to make it easier for foreigners to take more of our jobs.

5. Birthright Citizenship: An article at Youth for Western Civilization�s blog notes that Gov. Perry �supports granting citizenship to children of illegal aliens, and opposes legislation to change the current policy which grants citizenship to any child of an illegal alien.� According to the Washington Post, he has said any change of our current birthright citizenship policies would be �unconstitutional.�

For generations, politicians were afraid to touch the question of birthright citizenship, but thanks to Tea Party groups, that is starting to change. By means of a deliberate misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment, any pregnant woman who manages �to fly, crawl or flop across our borders� as Jared Taylor once put it, can give birth to an American citizen. Professor Lino Graglia of the University of Texas has ably refuted this absurd view of the 14th Amendment.

As Mr. Perry�s views become better known among conservative Republicans, they could turn against him. Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann have both spoken out against birthright citizenship.

6. E-Verify: E-Verify is a federal program that lets employers make sure their workers are here legally. Vdare�s �Washington Watcher� notes that when Republican Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson challenged Gov. Perry for the Republican gubernatorial nomination in 2010, she called for E-Verify for all Texas state employees. Even that was too much for Gov. Rick Perry, who stated: �E-Verify would not make a hill of beans difference when it comes to what�s happening in America today.�

Illegal immigrants who are secretly working for Al Queda or MS-13 could get jobs as state employees, but Gov. Perry is opposed to even the most basic effort to weed them out. Apparently, it doesn�t make a �hill of beans difference� to him.

7. Illegal Aliens as �Undocumented�: The same Youth for Western Civilization article reports that in a talk about his big ideas for Texas school students, he said, �And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers.� (Emphasis added). �Undocumented� is the pro-Amnesty Left�s favorite code word for illegal aliens. Needless to say, that �vision� includes college education, jobs, and everything else. It is easy to foresee a Republican-promoted amnesty of the �undocumented� under a Perry administration, just like the one the last Bush administration served up.

8. In-State Tuition for Illegal Aliens: In 2001, Gov. Perry supported and signed the Texas �DREAM Act,� which lets children of illegal aliens pay in-state tuition at Texas universities. It you live in neighboring Arizona, no in-state rates for you; but if your family sneaked illegally into Texas, Gov. Perry wants to give you tuition breaks.

Even the voters of liberal Maryland managed to upend the liberal elites� goal of passing a �DREAM Act� in that state. So unpopular was the law there, that after a successful petition drive, Maryland voters can now decide its fate themselves in 2012.

9. Bragged About it in Mexico: After he signed the Texas DREAM Act, Gov. Perry went to Mexico to brag about it. According to the Washington Times, he said in Spanish: �Educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.� (Education is the future, and yes we can). Gov. Rick Perry, a supposedly conservative governor from the conservative state of Texas, brags in Mexico about transferring more Texas gringo money to more illegal aliens.

On August 13, the very day he announced his candidacy, Mr. Perry was in Israel getting the �Defender of Jerusalem� award, which is given to public figures who show a commitment to defending Israel and Jerusalem as its capital. �I have long supported the right of a Jewish state to exist in the Middle East,� said the grateful Mr. Perry. He is obviously unconcerned about the rights of a Texan state.

10. Giuliani for p******** in 2008: There were many conservatives running for the 2008 Republican nomination. Gov. Perry could have backed Rep. Duncan Hunter (CA), former Sen. Fred Thompson (TN), or fellow Texan Rep. Ron Paul. Instead, he supported fellow open-borders advocate, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani.

He said he supported Mr. Giuliani for national security reasons, but somehow failed to see how securing our borders is a matter of national security. Perhaps in his heart, and despite his conservative rhetoric, he feels closer to Mr. Giuliani�s worldview.

A Third-World population will turn us into a Third-World country, but such an elementary insight is beyond the grasp of Rick Perry. He hisses that people like former Rep. Tom Tancredo are �racist� for supporting immigration control.

Most Republican p********ial contenders will probably be too cowardly to attack Gov. Perry directly on immigration, or if they do, they will not press him for fear of being called �racist.� So it will be up to us to get the word out to friends and family, and to link up with organizations that don�t want an open-borders fanatic as the Republican nominee.

Gov. Perry�s record on immigration should keep him from getting any Republican votes. Rep. Bachmann and even Gov. Romney are better, so immigration reform activists need to make stopping Gov. Perry their number-one priority. If they succeed, it will be a strong message to other Republicans that it�s not enough to tout the conservative line on social and economic issues alone. Nationalist questions are important, too.

Right now, we don�t even get lip service on national issues. In the past, Republican voters have given the nomination to candidates who were bad on immigration, such as George W. Bush and John McCain, and this is one of the reasons nationalist interests are not taken seriously within the party. This needs to change, and stopping Rick Perry would be a great first step.
