Rick Perry: “If you don’t secure the border, you’re never going to have immigration reform”

I really like Perry’s stance on the border. He says that the Obama administration’s sending of 280 troops to the border of Texas is almost offensive because to get a handle on the border Texas needs at least 3,000 troops along with predator drones and other monitoring devices. He’s also not happy about the lawsuit against Arizona and tells Obama directly to secure the border.

Part II is below the jump.

    Governor Perry is absolutely correct. If the Federal Gov't doesn't do their job, then it's up to the States to protect their citizens.

    Article 4 – Section 4 states:
    The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.

    Do you think we've been getting the above from Urkel?

    Calderon has no business criticizing US law or our justice system,particularly in light of this; http://www.pbs.org/pov/presumedguilty Yes I know PBS but it is worth watching for the insight. You do not want to experience the Mexican “justice” system.

    I'm sorry, but if you believe this professional liar you're an idiot. He CAMPAIGNED last election on building a fence here in Texas and stopping the flood of illegals into Texas and then, after winning re-election, 20 days later simply stated that “no, I'm not gonna do that”.

    Do NOT be fooled by this fake. He's no conservative and he wants NOTHING to do with anything related to the border.

    A vote or campaign contribution of any kind for this idiot is a vote for McCain and career, finger in the air politicians.
