And, yes, Perry has taken significant steps to secure the border:
While President Obama has failed to secure our borders, Gov. Perry has been a leader on this issue. “A porous border can only lead to more violence. Without border security, there can be no national security,” wrote Perry. During his tenure, Texas has increased the levels of personnel, technology and targeted operations resulting in an average of 65% reduction of all crime in the border communities.
