If Cain’s serious, this is going to hurt him and I’d be badly disappointed. It’s almost like Perry with his checkered background looks better. Perrywinkles may yet prevail, if for the wrong reasons.
It is the constitutionally spelled out duty of the Federal government to defend the states from invasion. Maybe Cain would want to allow a state to not complain about illegale “invasion” and for the Federal government to look the other way, but really, all a state needs to do is complain (it need not even bother to try to mount its own defense) and the constitutional onus is on Uncle Sam. Also, there aren’t any walls between states. Jose can saunter into Texas from Mexico and from there go to any of the other lower 48 without anyone asking so much as a by your leave. Texas might not care, but how about Utah? Or Oklahoma? Don’t they have a right to complain about what riffraff waltzed into Texas, even if Texas does not care?
Preventing invasion is a role of the federal government. Herman “Federal Reserve” Cain is not to be trusted. He’ll say anything.
