BREITBART TEXAS ^ | 17 Jun 2014 | by BOB PRICE

HOUSTON, Texas—Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) appeared on Fox News’ Fox and Friends show and said Texas lacks the resources and manpower to secure the 1,200 mile Texas border with Mexico.

The comment sent shock waves through a Texas grassroots discussion thread on Facebook this morning of activists who are seeking a special session call from the Governor to deal with the issue of border security.

"Gov. Perry would carry a small firearm when he jogged. It was to deal with coyotes, so he said."

coyote, n. (slang), a criminal engaged in guiding illegal immigrants across an international border.

Rick Perry, the gutless two face pos from Texas......who needs him.

He sits up there on his high throne with his thumb up his ass most of the time until he can come up with crap like this.

We need our border secure and TEXANS can do it.

"There ain't enough Texas Rangers or County Sheriff's deputies to man a 1,200-mile border "

I think that there are over 2500 TX State Troopers.

A presidential candidate would find a way, because a president would have to solve problems.

This is not a problem that Rick Perry wants to solve, so he'll find any excuse to do the right thing.

(3) If Perry does do something, he will get smacked down by some leftist federal judge or by Holder's corrupt Injustice Dept

Well, if he is really a conservative that understands the Constitution and States Rights and the failed obligation and responsibility the Feds have to protect the border, and if he is really a leader that wants to be POTUS, I sincerely doubt this would stop him from finding a solution.

All he has to do is top looking at himself in the mirror long enough to sign the order calling up the national guard.

“those conservative cowboys in congress”


To hell with the FERAL Government. Texas has all the rights of a sovereign State to secure it’s border from this invasion that is happening.

Our people are being overrun and they need help in South Texas. Slick Rick needs to earn his pay.

Texas has its own State Guard. It is in addition to the National Guard. Perry could use the State Guard to seal the border without the worries of it being nationalized.

I did submit my message to Gov Goodhair-

Your statement that TX does not have the funds necessary to secure our border was cowardly and pitiful. I guess that you have decided not to attempt a Presidential run. I am sincerely ashamed of your inaction.

And I signed it.

Your post is misdirected. I’ve never said any such thing.

Use the National Guard. Ask other governors to help. Deputize citizens. Send the state police. Whatever it takes. Especially if you want to be president.

where are the Minutemen when we need them?

The Texas State Guard (TXSG) is one of three components of the Texas Military Forces (TXMF), reporting to The Texas Adjutant General located at Texas Military Forces HQ, Camp Mabry (Austin), Texas. The Commander in Chief of the Texas Military Forces is the Governor of Texas. The other two branches are the Texas Army National Guard (TXARNG) and the Texas Air National Guard (TXANG).

Sorry, I guess that I was unclear- This message Is what I sent Gov Goodhair-

“Your statement that TX does not have the funds necessary to secure our border was cowardly and pitiful. I guess that you have decided not to attempt a Presidential run. I am sincerely ashamed of your inaction.”

That was addressed to Perry, not you. I sent it to you because you gave the address in your post 49.
