Perry: “There is a magnet, and the magnet is called jobs. And those people who hire illegals ought to be penalized.”

“Mitt,” he continued. “You lose all of your standing in my eyes because you hired illegals for your home.”

Indeed, it then degenerated a second time, prompting Romney to cry, “You have a problem with allowing people to finish speaking. and i suggest that if you want to become POTUS, you’re gonna have to let both people speak.”
