Well I know for a fact because I have a relative who works for the Highway Patrol, that because of Perry's policies and the spending we do on securing the U.S./Mexico border, my relative personally turned over 18 illegals in a 2 week stint as back up to the US border patrol.

My relative told me to let everyone know all Texas Highway Patrol have to spend two weeks from their families away from their normal patrol areas to secure the US/Mexico border, patrolling by themselves.

That is called putting your money where your mouth is. Not "joking" about electric fences.

Not everyone who commits a crime is an illegal immigrant

Uh...No one ever suggested that. However, every illegal has committed a crime, and many multiple brutal, violent crimes.

The Perry fan club seems to have an inordinate amount of very ignorant people in it. Like you for instance.

Very good point and it needs to be clarified as many try to once again blur the lines.

I say we cut their pay in half too!

I've been here 10 years ez, and I've never seen the vitriol and name calling that we are having now. People are using names that were never allowed on FR before. I don't even understand it........

I didn't call you a name.

I said you, based on your own cockeyed comments, were ignorant.

I'm all for a good energy plan. How come his supporters don't emphasize the facts of it instead of spending their time attacking Newt and other candidates? BTW, what exactly is Perry's immigration plan? How does it differ from Newt's?

He’s also said he will cut them down to half-time jobs. He’s saying these nutty things he can’t do, to get attention back on him. That’s a poor way to do it.

Why waste everyone's time with these red herrings?

These are PROPOSALS that Perry is making. I happen to think that they are pretty good ideas. But NOWHERE have I seen him propose that the President become a dictator.

Of course, President Perry will have to lobby and cajole Congress to enact his ideas, and maybe they won't go along.

But by your reasoning (if you want to glorify it with such a word) no candidate should even make such suggestions.

Take a hike, lady.

Yeah, I really am.

I’m ready for Perry to do something about it, instead of talking about it.

We have tens of thousands of American victims and their family members, of murder, rape, robbery, fraud, burglary, those ran over, stabbed and maimed by other ‘people’ every day.

Can't take a joke eh? Sorry. I don't hate Perry, I just think he's toast. You don't get do-overs in the same campaign. Sorry. Perry can try again in 2016.

Based on the posts I have read with your name under them, there is at least one VERY ignorant person outside the Perry Fan Club.

Perry can try again in 2016.

By RNC standards, it will be his turn then anyway.

You can type your asterisks all day but he did defund PP. The Texas government doesn’t pay for it. I don’t care what size building they put up.

Governor Rick Perry is a great American, a veteran, a conservative, a leader, and a man of conviction and faith. He will make a fine next president of the United States of America.

He is pro-life, pro-guns, pro-family, pro-business, pro-job creation, pro-economic growth, pro-military, pro-Israel, and pro-states rights.

He is for limiting Federal power over the states and the people; for reducing the size of the Federal Government; for cutting taxes, cutting spending, repealing regulations, balancing the budget, and expanding domestic energy production.

He is for securing the border using strategic fencing, boots on the ground, and aviation assets such as Predator drones to provide real-time information to law enforcement and border patrol.

He says securing the border will be a top priority and he will have it done in his first year as president.

He is opposed to amnesty and the Federal DREAM Act.

Was his United States Air Force suit empty too neocon1984? What about his highest honor Eagle Scout suit, or the jeans and T-shirt suit he wore to help his dad farm cotton. Empty?

What about the suit he wore to stand on the tarmac of an airport, waiting to confront, face to face, a President who had refused all of his phone calls for help on border issues? Perry has worn many ‘suits’, and worn them well.

I appreciate that. The worst thing about the "electric fence" idea is the possibility some one might take it seriously and put one up.

I know fences of the right sort in the right places can help a lot however. I spent ten years on the Arizona border myself(not as a leo mind you) and know something of the terrain and the distance between outposts of civilization, and the congestion at the crossing points.

Gardisil injections for school aged girls by executive order, no legislative debate.

Damn near confiscated by force of eminent domain thousands of acres of private farm and ranch land, some of which has been in families since the birth of Texas.

Allowed sanctuary city bill die in regular, then special session.

Trans Texas corridor was to be foreign built, foreign operated for the transfer of foreign goods. Circumventing American truckers, dock workers and all satellite operations dealing with transportation of goods. Yep, real pro-American that Perry turned out to be.

In state tuition's for illegals...sorry, that must hurt.

Rick Perry chaired Al Gore's campaign and supported Hillary Care...guess that doesn't matter much.

Facilitated the Mexican trucker pilot program and now Mexican trucker program. Mexican trucks on the foreign built/operated Trans Texas corridor.
