On Immigration, Perry Should Take the Offensive
On Immigration, Perry Should Take the Offensive
September 22, 2011 - 12:00 am - by Ruben Navarrette Jr.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry obviously needs some coaching on how to talk about illegal immigration — especially during the remaining Republican presidential debates.
Oh, Perry is doing fine. But he can do better if he stops being so polite and fires back at his opponents with both barrels. He needs to get off the defensive, and get on the offensive.
It’s not like he can avoid the topic. You can bet that it will keep coming up. In fact, it’s likely to make an appearance in the debate in Orlando, FL, which is sponsored by Fox News, Google, and the Florida Republican Party.
There are three reasons why this topic won’t go away for Republicans: GOP voters care about it; Perry’s Republican opponents see it as the Achilles’ heel for the GOP frontrunner; and the liberal media enjoys the sight of Republicans fighting with one another, especially over an issue that makes many of them seem dishonest, extreme, and out of touch.
For now, Republicans are livid over how Perry answered questions in the most recent CNN/Tea Party debate.

I hope Perry does take the advice of the racist mouthpiece of the invasion named Ruben Navarrette Jr!
Ruben Navarrette Jr's advice would bring even more exposure of Perry's support for the invasion in front of GOP primary voters that will reject his liberalism on the issue.
