Watch this video. It could be brutal for Romney and he doesn’t even seem to realize it.

In it Romney’s fighting back against Perry’s claims that he hired illegal immigrants. He replies that it was the fault of the contractor: “So we went to the company and we said, look, you can’t have any illegals working on our property.
