Rick Perry: Trump's Tough Talk on Mexico Makes for Good TV
Newsmax ^ | 17 JUN 2015 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 06/20/2015 7:15:13 PM PDT by South40

Donald Trump's talk about Mexico "makes for some pretty good TV," Rick Perry said Wednesday, but the reality is that he, as the former governor of Texas, really knows what needs done to secure the border.

"I do know a little bit about border security, having been the governor of Texas for the last 14 years," Perry, who is competing against Trump and nearly a dozen others for the GOP nomination, told Fox News' "America's Newsroom."

We seem to get better information from Canadian and UK press than MSM in USA.

You have some links to your assumptions, or are you just speaking off the cuff?

Perry couldn’t do anything about the illegals because Joe Straus wouldn’t let him.

"I do know a little bit about border security, having been the governor of Texas for the last 14 years," Perry told Fox News'...

Ya, he sat in his office watching million come across for 14 years...

This garbage is laughable.

Combined the 11 candidate bureaucrats watching Trump have probably logged 275 years on the government payroll.

“he sat in his office watching millions come across for 14 years.”

So I assume that you think the immigration problem is up to the states? From what I read it is a federal issue. Is it not?

Perry is not my candidate of choice. But I hate to see inaccurate posts.

Oh here it is, right on schedule ....Perry was helpless to do anything for 14 years...Just a poor innocent helpless by-stander. Go talk to the feds...

Gak..

Too bad he didn't have the balls to take it to the Texan's every week and go public, get really vocal and literally rock the podium demanding the corrupt feds in D.C. stop aiding and abetting this lawless violent disaster.

None of that ever happened.

No sale. Go peddle that worn out crap to someone who buys it.

Well..it’s actually not worn out crap.

Is it not the Feds job to enforce the border? Actually, I believe he did rail against the Feds (Obama). Consequently, we in this state were persona non grata. May still be for all I know.

I believe we have protection on the border that we, as citizens of the state pay for. At this point...unreimbursed by the truly responsible parties (Feds).

The NCLR pic is pretty tired. Of course he talked to them. Large Hispanic community.

Now I have two questions:

As I have already asked...is this not a Federal issue?

I see your home page says you are from Cali. How is all that working out for ya?

Of course it's a federal border. Why are you playing Pollyanna games?

Does that mean the governor of a state has no power to protect his state?

I believe we have protection on the border that we, as citizens of the state pay for.

You know what, Texas is crawling with illegal aliens and you continue to pop off with these robotic canned responds. You sound like a programmed bureaucrat at the local city hall level.

Please go peddle that crap to someone who might by it.

Good luck.

Talk about robotic speeches!

When you can tell me that Cali is not crawling with illegals...get back to me.

As I have said...I regret Perry is running. Good governor...not good on a national stage. He’s not my guy...so we don’t disagree.

But what I said is not a Pollyanna game. We all suffer from this influx do we not?

I'm back. Of course it is. No one suggested it was not.

What does CA have to do with this article or Perry?

Ya see the tagline? You define it el perfecto.

Perry....”I do know a little bit about border security, having been the governor of Texas for the last 14 years,”

After 14 years then Perry should have a whole lot more than border “Security” for your Corporate Developments. Which is what he’s referencing...Perry has no plans whatsoever to close it ...rather streamline the coming and going of employees he promises cheap labor too in his Corporate Deals.

Globalist Perry’s not done yet...looky here...now he’s training folks to become “GLOBAL CITIZENS” via ARABIC!

Absolutely. Perry and the rest of the bureaucratic blow fish made that inordinately clear. There was never any intention of securing our borders over the past 30+ years. Never.

By now, those who've failed to recognize this never will. Those folks are just hopeless.

"You have some links to your assumptions, or are you just speaking off the cuff?

..... As mentioned in my other post .... I did a quick Google search. I looked under either Old or Ancient "Lake Cahuilla." I also saw a video on YouTube a few days ago about this same subject that was posted on Facebook about the unknown mysterious history of the American Southwest.

There’s not a single Politition in WAshington who will ever close the border or stop the flow....just the opposite....we’re going to see Canada, the US and Mexico with a “free flow” of employees across borders. That’s the plan.
