So the man who has fouled his own nest, and brought both expense and infamy to his county and his constituents, believes that Perry ought to be the next president? If that's not the kiss of death for the campaign, I don't know what is. I don't see how the Texas governor can preach fiscal responsibility on the one hand and shake Arpaio's hand with the other.And Perry doesn't even have the same beliefs as Arpaio. Arpaio supports the building of a mega-fence, against allowing immigrants to pay in state tuition if they are accepted into college, and against a path to citizenship. The only issue they probably see eye to eye on is cheap labor. That is Perry's big immigration issue and one that is supported by his donors. Let them into the country with a legal card and let his donors continue to pay them cheap wages.
Perry will be touring New Hampshire with Arpaio, stirring the white pot of anger towards immigrants. It is always good for a few votes, but he will have to ditch him when he comes to Texas or California.
That is Rick Perry. That is the way he works.

Did Arpaio hate his parents? They were immigrants.
Maybe he's in favor of legal immigration but opposed to illegal immigration.
Why would you think Arpaio supports cheap labor? He actively supports measures that reduce the supply of cheap labor.
