why did Perry's support fade?

That is an apology for Perry's illegal immigration policy?

it has nothing to do with Perry, it is a fact

Duh, this thread is about Perry?

I agree - the immigration issue lost Perry a lot of support among the Tea Party and Republicans in general because they, in general, hate latinos. They see an latino and they automatically think "gang banger" and "wetback". We went through many of these same segregationist pains several times before in this country.

How did you determine that "hate" was involved? Maybe they just don't like the idea of illegals coming to our country and receiving our public funds which are intended for citizens of this country.
It is amazing how the liberals are able to divine people's motivations and thoughts of the heart!

what PUBLIC FUNDS are they receiving and how?

OK. Public school funding for one.

Oh please! Maybe they hate having their jobs taken, especially in construction, by people who will work for a lot less money and under worse conditions. I am betting it they were illegal immigrants from northern Europe, they would want them gone too. Example? When jobs were plentiful in England, people were OK with Poles and other east Europeans doing the construction work, not they want them gone.

The abortion flip-flop is what will really sink Cain, IMO. He shows himself to be just another talking out of both sides of his mouth politician.

You really made tower's point for him, ya know. There are a whole hell of a lot of latinos who are in this country legally and are citizens but that doesn't seem to matter because they look like the ones who are here illegally and get treated the same. It gets old.
