Perry on Border Security
The thread linked below contains facts that Perry has officially requested by letter to Obama, letter to Napalitano and letter to then-Defense Secretary Gates, National Guard troops to be deployed to the Border to act in support of border enforcement operations currently underway.
I heard his wife in a NH appearance tell an attendee who asked her about the Border that her husband has sent letters as well as publicly asked for troops, and Anita Perry told the person that the federal government officials refuse even to reply to the letters, officially ignoring them as if they were never sent.
(AZ Governor Brewer has reported the same thing, that every attempt at communication on border issues with the feds, of hers, is deliberately ignored.)
Remember the photo of Perry trying to hand deliver a letter to Obama on an Obama visit to Texas last year. An aide to Obama took the letter but once again it was officially ignored.
Governor Perry literally had to crash that Obama-at-airport-in-Austin scene, because Obama was there only to fund raise. Earlier he said he could give the Governor a few minutes on the tarmac if Perry would fly to El Paso from Austin to meet him there. Perry refused to do that, but did crash the Austin landing and had a letter requesting federal troops in hand.

Americans are sick and tired of throwing Perry money and manpower when he consistantly encourages illegal infilitration and bringing in foreign interests into Texas with other than American interests in mind..as a whole.
The fact there’s war on the border could have been prevented long ago....Perry was not helpful in this matter by cowtowing to Mexican Gov. and his shared agenda with mexico.
