The most obvious failing of Perry's plan is that it isn't really very different that our last president's (and current president's) amnesty proposal. They're both just dressed-up amnesties, much like the DREAM Act.
Under the schemes either Texas governor has advocated for, illegal aliens A) get to stay here, B) don't have good reason to take their anchor babies out of the country, and C) get a a pass for all the identity theft, tax fraud, and criminal conspiracies they've taken part in.
A few years ago, Perry said he supported Vicente Fox's vision of an open border. If what he's proposed were ever enacted, that would pretty much be the result.
