“The ROE under Perry would not increase the danger to BP and NG. We know this because (Perry is not Bush and) we see the ROE for the DPS and Texas Rangers that the Governor has sent to augment the failing efforts of the DHS.”
Lets see. Thousands of unarmed or “armed with beanbag” human targets parading back and forth along the border like ducks in a carnival shooting gallery...who the democrats will not allow to engage the enemy, nor defend themselves against are a safe idea. Hmmm. Going to have to think on....Nope. You are wrong.
Perry and ANY OTHER president without a fence will face the very same problem Bush did from screaming democrats, the media, LaRaza and every victim group screaming that poor innocent 2 year old children will be shot dead by gun crazed American BP and soldiers.
You want to needlessly put more AMERICANS in harms way? You just go ahead and try to sell that idea. I do not blame Perry in this insanity. But his position is dead wrong. I blame Democrats and opponents of the fence.
Again, you are not looking at the record of those ROE for the forces under the command of the Governor.
The DPS is not armed with rubber pellets. They have real guns, real bullets, helicopters and planes.
Norm,
A fence along the Texas portion of the border is not feasible. We have the Rio Grand as our border. The official border runs straight down the middle of the river.
We can’t build a fence on the Mexican side of the Rio because it’s not our property and we can’t maintain it. Putting a fence on our side of the Rio cedes land and water to Mexico. The Rio is an important water source for agriculture down there.
That is why Perry does not support/promote a fence along every inch of the border. Candidates who do are fools and do not understand the logistics of the Texas border. A fence along other than the Texas border can be done - and Perry does support that.
