I was hoping to see Texas increase border security the past couple of years. If he had told DC to take a hike and Texas would secure its own border, he would get well over 50% of the vote.
Kind of hard to close the border when you are only one person, the four largest cities are run by Democrats and are sanctuary cities and everything south of Houston is pretty close to all Democrat and Mexico. Been to Brownsville lately? If not, take a visit down there, stand on the bridge going into Mexico and just pretend you are the Governor and you are there to announce that you are going to close the border. IMO it was easier to close the border between Iran and Iraq. Best thing we can do for Texas’ illegal immigration problem is to get rid of the Democrats in Congress - both Texas and Washington.
I agree about the border thing. When Perry put the virtual fence experiment up, I participated in it. It wouldn’t take much to do that and there are plenty of Texans who would volunteer to watch for certain times on their computers. It needed a lot of tweaking to do it right, but I thought the idea was a good one.
