Why is Governor Rick Perry in favor of Texas DREAM ACT and not federal DREAM Act?
Is he hoping he can have his cake and eat it too? Is he hoping to please everyone?
Even conservatives and TEA Party people are questioning him.

He is!?
Lost my support.
I don’t think America is ready for another Texas Gov. who talks to God just yet…
That is something that can hurt him a lot. I like how he gets all of those jobs, but I really don’t know if I can vote for someone in favor of that in the primary.
“Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled ‘non brown’ starving masses”.
Under no circumstances will the American public elect another governor from Texass to be President.
Texas politics has done enough already to ruin this country and nobody wants to see any future President on his “ranch” pretending to be clearing Bush. Pun intended.
Perry is a dope.
Rick Perry Stands By Texas DREAM Act
The potential 2012 candidate signed legislation in 2001 allowing some illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition.

In sharp contrast to the national Republican Party line, Texas Gov. Rick Perry still supports his state’s version of the so-called DREAM Act, which permits foreign-born children of illegal immigrants to pay in-state college tuition. “To punish these young Texans for their parents’ actions is not what America has always been about,” the potential dark horse GOP candidate told the New Hampshire Union Leader in his first New Hampshire interview of the 2012 campaign cycle.
The act is different from the nation version, which Republicans in Congress have battled. The national DREAM Act would provide a pathway to citizenship to some young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as minors but who demonstrate “good moral character” and who go to a four-year college or join the military. The act was reintroduced in May after it failed to pass in the last Congress—it passed the House late last year when Democrats were still the majority, but Senate Democrats did not have enough votes to get it through. Opponents call the federal DREAM Act amnesty.
