Thread: Perry chats with Sheriff Joe

By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 9/3/11 11:48 PM EDT Updated: 9/3/11 11:55 PM EDT





Rick Perry, who's currently getting bracketed by Mitt Romney on the topic of immigration and asked about it on the trail in New Hampshire today, apparently chatted by phone this afternoon with nationally-known Arizona immigration hard-liner Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

Arpaio tweeted at around 5 p.m. Eastern time, "Just received phone call at my house from TX. Gov. Rick Perry. Had a great conversation especially about immigration and other matters."

Arpaio, who also tweeted two weeks ago that he's been contacted by the Romney and Michele Bachmann camps, has been a nationally controversial for awhile (including, most recently, an issue involving actor Steven Seagal) for a range of issues, as well as allegations of racial profiling.

Perry is currently being hit from Romney on immigration, an attack the former Massachusetts governor and faltering frontrunner is attempting to lob from the right. It's an issue, as we noted the other day, that is potentially complicated for the Texas governor, who has a business-centric donor base in his home state that views it differently than, say, some early-state Republican activists.

A Perry spokesman didn't respond to an email about Arpaio's tweet.

Romney on immigration, an attack the former Massachusetts governor

Yea Romney, you have a past too.

May 22, 2007 "Romney has been criticized for previous support of abortion rights, which he now says he opposes, and for his support of gun control during his four years as Massachusetts governor."

"In 2004, the Boston Globe reported that Romney was reluctant to veto the tuition proposal--and not at all the certain, sure-footed decision maker portrayed in the ad. At the time, Romney said, "I hate the idea of in any way making it more difficult for kids, even those who are illegal aliens, to afford college in our state."

Romney wasn't a hardliner on immigration until late in his tenure as governor. "

Seems like there was some other things he did when he was governor, that was all over the forum during the 2008 election cycle. I know he was all about increasing the HB1 visas. That's a globalist indicator.

Sheriff Joe:(Ah! Jeez! what does this open borders POS want?) "Not much, how about you're self?"

Perry:"Yeah! Joe could you tell people that I take a hard stance against illegal immigration?"

Sheriff Joe:"I could if there were just even a smiggin' of truth to that Rick, but to be quite honest I'm just not seein' it!"

Perry:"Joe your fence idea is stupid!"

Sheriff Joe:"Rick you'd look good in Pink!"
