Gov. Perry Announces Deployment of Texas Military Forces Helicopters To Support Border Security EffortsThursday, March 18, 2010 • Austin, Texas

Gov. Perry: Federal Government Must Take Action To Prevent Spillover Violence from Mexico Requests Predator Drones and National Guard Troops along BorderMonday, March 15, 2010 •

"Feds say immigrants using torches and bungee cords on border fence"

It is the Federal government's responsibility to secure the border. What is "non" border state politician Obama doing about it but turning his back on Rick Perry when he went to meet him on the tarmac in Austin with a letter -- after being denied a meeting?

Rick Perry: September 15, 2011 - " The bigger issue is that you’re never going to have a conversation that is anything more than an intellectual exercise about immigration until you secure the border. That is what we must focus on as a country. I do not agree that building a 1,800-mile barrier is thoughtful. It’s an easy answer. I think it’s a cop out for anyone who’s actually been on the border. It’s like building a wall from Bangor, Maine to Miami, Florida. What does work is strategic fencing in your metropolitan areas, having the boots on the ground. We are woefully understaffed on that border.

We have the technology. Predator drones are being flown in United States air space as we speak. Why not fly those from Brownsville, Texas, to El Paso and to Tijuana and back and use that real-time information for local law enforcement, our state law enforcement and our federal counterparts? That’s how you thoughtfully secure that border, and then you can have a discussion about what type of immigration reform we want to consider as a country. But not until then. Too many times, we’ve been told, if we’ll just pass this immigration reform then we’ll secure the border. And it hasn’t happened...."

It seems pretty apparent that the Military Mexico has now is incapable of dealing with the cartels. Quite possibly because they are in league with the cartels.

I do not believe Mexico is able to secure their own State, and I doubt they would allow us to do it either, but it isn’t a totally bad idea.

People might accuse Governor Perry of being heartless.

Please repost this tonight.

Perry is the only one who is running that is dealing with this problem on a daily basis and I think he has good instincts on this issue. I have been waiting for a President to say this for a very long time.

We’ve had 35 years of traitorous Republicans and Democrats in the WH and Congress who have refused to secure our borders. Reagan started kit with amnesty.

Now we have nation that is turning into Mexico with all of its historic problems. Mexico has never produced much in its history except for corruption, the siesta, Mexican food, and the sombrero. When the USA imports tens of millions of Mexicans what would make anyone think that this will improve the USA culture and our nation? It won’t.

But the US Chamber of Commerce and these global corporations are buying Congress so they give away our sovereignty and allow open borders. These groups are destroying the USA so they can save $5/hr on labor.

You know that warning you get when you watch a DVD about years in prison and hundreds of thousands in fines for copying a BS Hollywood crap movie, that’s what all employers should get when they counterfeit a legitimate American with an illegal immigrant worker?

Seal the border and Mexico will deal with their problems. Yes it is tempting to say send in USA troops to once again do the dirty work for another nation. But just as with Iraq it won’t be a cakewalk. Those that want it are defense contractors wanting profits. Seal the border and make our nation great again.

Maybe we should just annex Mexico.
