Rick Perry: 'We Don'T Have The Resources' To Secure Texas Border
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.

Yup.

Karl “Turd Blossom” Rove persuaded Perry as a West Texas Agriculture Democrat to become a Republican Party Member, back in the day when the BIG TENT was considered to be harmless.

Yes it is. He was a democrat up to 1989.
You can go to Wikipedia to confirm.

I thought Texas was one of our riches states. I think alien lover Ricky is BSing us. He still wants those kids to have free college education.

Obama has no authority in the matter. The Governor of Texas is vested with the authority of the Texas Constitution.

Rick, you say you can’t afford to secure the Texas border; I say you can’t afford not to.

Thanks, Jane!

Ray, I just emailed the governor’s office. Couldn’t say it went through. I will call the guv’s office again tomorrow. Thanks for the link!

Perry had no trouble imposing vaccines on children by state Order for his own profit.

And opposing a border fence on the very border he now complains about.

Tx has been traditionally Democrat until Perry, but it was the Zell Miller style democrat.

Yeah I know. I clicked “send message” and there was no acknowledgement that the message was sent.

I’d bet Zell wouldn’t be putting up with this invasion. La Raza Rick thinks we can just “shoot spitballs” at the border problem.

How are Brewer and Martinez doing?

Ca is over run with illegals despite the crowing about a fence.

The problem is the states are helpless to the Feds, and the Feds promote the open border.

They thwart us at every turn.

Its no different than saying that America doesn’t have the resources to fight terrorism.

RESIGN mofo.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.—Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

Useless RINO ALERT!
