Alfonso Aguilar, Executive Director of the Latino Partnership for Conservative Principles weighed in about Gov. Rick Perry’s answers on immigration during the debate last night.

“Gov. Perry is actually quite smart in having a balanced approach on immigration – stressing the importance of border security, but at the same time defending his effort to provide in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants,” he wrote.

Aguilar pointed out that the majority of likely Republican voters are not fanatically anti-immigrant, making them open to guest worker programs, legalization programs, and even the Dream Act.
