Perry has to be extraordinarily dumb NOT to know the so-called "drug wars" are being orchestrated by salivating Mexicans---to get their greedy hands on more and more US tax dollars.
So-called "drug wars" did not heat up until Congress passed The Merida Initative---which rains down millions on Mexico "to fight the drug wars. "
The "drug wars" facilitate millions of illegals to pour over the border claiming "asylum---which gets them a special SS benefit. Mexico trains their citizens how to collect----b/c illegals are Mexico's "voting bloc"----here to pressure vote-crazed Congressman for more and more US tax dollars.
==================================================
Perry says the feds won't help him----but this con artist fails to say HE is in control of the state's Ntl Guard---Perry himself can send as many NG as he wishes to control the border........but he won't. And we should ask why.
Texas Freepers report several drug cartels operate openly in Texas unimpeded by Texas L/E. La Familia is in Austin not far from the state house, and the savage Los Zetas operate their distribution center in Dallas.....beheadings are the Zetas signature savagery.
Perry has done nothing to stop this.
You are putting a lot of responsibility on Texas for what properly MUST be done by the Federal Government. Plus you are expecting Perry to take on the movers and shakers in the state. I don’t know any governor who has ever done that. Nor any members of the congressional delegation.
