Some on the left made a big deal out of Texas Gov. Rick Perry statement this weekend that “I think there is a path to citizenship for those young men and women who have served their country. That is a very unique set of individuals, and different than folks who have come here illegally and not given back in that particular way.”

Talking Points Memo‘s Evan McMorris-Santoro thinks he has uncovered some huge contradication: “[Perry] opposes the national DREAM Act debated in the last Congress. But in South Carolina Saturday, he said he supported a main tenet of that bill — that illegal immigrants can earn their citizenship by serving honorably in the military.”
