And Rick Perry was hammered on this forum because he was less than enthusiastic about fencing off the Rio Grande.

That is a fact! Oh well, lots of freepers had some other agenda for the sliming Perry, like 999, Palin-wishers, Bachmann, Paul or even closet Mittens.

Governor Rick Perry was trashed on the Free Republic continuously for his low opinion of a border fence. I showed numerous pictorials of ways to defeat the fence and descriptions of ways to defeat a fence if it were electrified. None of these fence-nicks had no clue to the geography that was being considered and compared it to the Berlin Wall or a fence around a penal institution. To no avail. The fence-nicks kept on trashing Perry.

Yep - he knew that only strategically placed fences, in high population centers, would be worth anything. His ideas were sound, but only a few would admit it. Clear case of mistruths about his views on illegals entering the country and he was condemned. Sort of like those who hate Newt "because he cheated on his wife" - so many folks on FR have tunnel vision to the point they become Dim-like in their mockery and turn a blind eye to their chosen one(s). Jim Rob must be on high doses of antacids these days.

Yea, it the border would be much more secure WITHOUT a fence.

There is a reason he was ridiculed on this site.
