Because he supports Romney and then lies when he says that Governor Perry is soft on border security and because he ignores the useless over-spending that would come from his “Great Wall of China.”

Cain, the radio talk show host, knew exactly what he was doing when he said this about the Governor: “Him being soft on securing the border, is one of the reasons.” and said that he and the Governor have fundamental differences on “securing the border for real, the need to enforce the laws that are already there, the need to promote the path to citizenship that is already there. But most importantly, to empower the States to enforce the national,uh,federal immigration.”

Where is he going to put that “Great Wall of China?” In the middle of the 1200 miles of the Rio Grande?

Or will he do as they do now: hundreds of yards in, cutting off homes from Texas, ceding the Rio Grande to Mexico and cutting productive farmers and ranchers from their lawful water rights? Then, the fence is regularly breached by illegal invaders, but the border patrol is spread too thin to respond, even when alerted to the fact.

And then, they do payroll audits instead of workplace raids, dump illegals they catch in Arizona a few feet over the border from Presidio, Texas, and dismiss 300,000 deportations in Houston and Dallas Federal courts — after letting the criminals go on their own bond.

Talk about killing the economy - you will kill the businesses and jobs that exist because farmers and ranchers have toughed it out all these years along the Rio Grande.

Remember the Texas motto - “Come and get it!” It’s as true today as it was 180 years ago, if you want to take Texans’ water rights and lands for a fence that doesn’t work.

Funny, that wasn’t a factor AT ALL when Congress passed the law (since gutted) to build the fence back in 2008 (I think). But I guess it is now, since it’s causing Perry trouble...
