Gov. Rick Perry: Obama Didn't Even Know the Border Patrol Was Stationed 40 Miles From Border

Whoa there, lonestar,

First of all, yes, I live in Illinois. But that has nothing to do with the question I've asked.

And my question still stands: if there was ever a time when a state needs to call out the Natl Guard or the state militias, it is now. And if Texas cannot find the funds to finance the Natl Guard, and I would think that as Governor of a state that is in danger of being overrun by illegal aliens, I would make it a point to find those funds, what is Texas’ next option? Oboma will NOT call out the Natl Guard, so what is the next move for TX?

I read that Chicago just received 400+ illegal aliens..no surprise there, it is Rahm’s Sanctuary City, and I have no control over that. But, if illegal aliens were to be shipped to a town near me, you can be sure I'd be out there to stop them.

You're angry and frustrated, and so am I. So I'll ignore your sarcastic comments about my being a “freeloader” or protecting my “a$$. Now is not the time for sarcasm. It is a time for discussion and asking questions.

See my post #41. I live in Illinois and you live in Texas. If Illinois had a border issue, and we were told the state didn't have the funds to call out the Natl Guard, you can bet that I would do whatever I have to do to protect the border. It is up to each state to determine what they must do, and how they're going to do it. I pray that Governor find the funds, and calls out the Natl Guard. You KNOW oboma won't call up the Natl Guard.

Yes, I'm angry and frustrated because this is a problem we have dealt with for decades and suddenly people from all over the country are interested when it comes to your backyard.

People are accusing Rick Perry of not doing all that he can!..."he SHOULD find the money!" We had spent $500 million in the past decade of our own $$$$ BEFORE this latest wave started.

Do you have a clue what I costs TX taxpayers to educate them in their native language...a federal law. ESL teachers make more that English only teachers. This has been going on down here for over 25 years.

If you really want to help, put pressure on your own congress members because thaey are most likely to be a much bigger part of the problem than Rick Perry and/or Texans!
