Michael Williams Defends Rick Perry's Immigration Record

Gov. Rick Perry is opposed to amnesty for illegal immigrants and no illegal immigrant in Texas has received a handout for a free college education, said Michael Williams, former chairman of the Railroad Commission of Texas, campaigning at the P5 event in Orlando as surrogate for Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

Delegates at the conference had expressed concerns about Perry after former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney said Thursday during the Fox News/Google debate that Perry supported a school program that would only encourage undocumented immigrants to enter the country illegally.

Former Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum also has called Perry soft when it comes to immigration reform.
