As governor of Texas, Rick Perry has taken a very moderate stance in regards to illegal immigration. He supported the DREAM Act. He even sought ways to create a pathway to citizenship for those undocumented workers currently in the country. Now that he is courting extremists like Arpaio, it's almost as if he's changing his belief system in order to get Republican support.
Interesting fact: Between 2007 and June 2010, the United States deported a total of 115,841 illegal immigrants. Arpaio's office was responsible for 26,146 of those deportations, a whopping 22.5%. If that isn't extremist, I don't know what is.
