Is Rick Perry qualified for a position in the Obama Administration? He's got a heck of a resume.

It seems that where illegal immigration is concerned, Rick Perry wants to look the other way. Isn't that the same philosophy as the guy who is President now?

Byron York of the Washington Examiner has laid it all out for us:

1. Perry opposes a BORDER FENCE: "Building a wall on the entire border is a preposterous idea," he said recently in New Hampshire. "The only thing a wall would possibly accomplish is to help the ladder business." Perry says he supports some forms of "strategic fencing in certain urban areas," but that's all.

He'll never score any points with most Republicans or Jim demint with that view, nor the next 2 issue either.

2. TAXPAYER-SUBSIDIZED, IN-STATE TUITION FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS: Perry signed the Texas Dream Act in 2001 making it the law in Texas. "We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, 'We don't care where you came from, but where you are going,'" Perry said at the time. "The message is simple: Educacion es el futuro, y si se puede." Perry still supports the measure.

3. Perry OPPOSES E-VERIFY: which is a program requiring employers to check the legal status of new hires. It has been very effective in stopping the hiring of illegals, but Perry does not support requiring private businesses to use it, and he doesn't want state agencies in Texas to use it, either. "E-verify would not make a hill of beans' difference in what's happening today," Perry said in a 2010 debate.

The following issue doesn't seem as bad as the first 3 until you think about it in it's entirety.

4. GUEST WORKERS: "I support a guest worker program that takes undocumented workers off the black market and legitimizes their economic contributions without providing them citizenship status," Perry said in 2006. "A guest worker program that provides foreign workers with an ID removes the incentive for millions of people to illegally enter our country." To critics, that's just amnesty with a different label.

What Rick Perry seems to be saying here, is if we don't have a Guest Workers program as a U.S. Policy, he has kind of taken it upon himself to let Texas have it's own unofficial one. One big problem with his version is, they're not going back and many go on illegally to other U.S states instead. If you're a Democrat though, there is a bright side. Just think of all these potential voters.

I wonder with views like this, if Perry doesn't get the nomination, maybe Obama would consider him as his new Immigration Czar?

Is Perry manhandling Vicente Fox in that picture? Looks like Perry's right hand is grabbing Fox's left arm just above the elbow. Oh, and Perry is POINTING! This time at someone else, though.

Arnold was branded a groper. Will Perry be branded as something similar?

Perry is just a folksy, feely guy......a man of the people, ya know.

But.......when you start getting your finger in a stranger's chest, holding wrist while pointing finger in the face, one wonders if Perry knows where the line is with that Texas folksy feely stuff.

W was a friendly guy, but I sure don't remember the pointing fingers and "grasps". Anyone else remember anything with that?

Hey! When is O'Reilly going to have his body language expert help us out with Perry's body language???
