MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — People attending a Rick Perry presidential campaign event are being asked to prove they are American citizens.

Wednesday’s event at Granite State Manufacturing is open to the public.

The company handles defense contracts for the federal government. A company employee sat beside a Perry staffer at the door and asked attendees whether they were citizens. People were also told that non-citizens wouldn’t be admitted.

Perry’s campaign said later that that was a mistake. The company also later clarified that federal regulations allow immigrants on the premises, but they must be accompanied by an escort.

3. This has nothing to do with Perry.

Any company engaged in National Security work is required to limit unrestricted access to citizens only. The questioning only happened because the event occurred on company property.

4. He's figured out he needs to be a total asshole to "others" in order to be popular with the tea

baggers. I can sense the sneers of glee of the gop base all the way here in Canada. They love putting people down publically.
