Or what? Texas will declare war?

[Frantzie]

Rick Perry, Kay Bailey and Coryn are open-border RINOs. TX GOP members are Democrat like just like FL’s open-border DIABLOS and RINOs.

48 hours... or what? Put the National Guard on the border? I hate ultimatums which have no backup.

[txroadkill]

I just hope she didn’t do it

[Logical me]

Send in armed military boats and recover the bodies. Shoot and destroy any Mexican boat that comes within range of the recovery. It is time to show Mexico we are done. America won’t do it. We are the Worlds biggest bunch of cowards.

2012 Presidential gambit?

[Vendome]

Or what?

[Jazz1968]

Empty threats Rick?

Something about this story for some reason just isn’t adding up for me.

[RockinRight]

Decided to dust off those cojones, eh Rick?

[KarlInOhio]

Will the Obama administration sue him? After all, giving toothless ultimatums to foreign countries is solely a power of the federal government.

[A. Morgan]

This is more than that White House doofus will do.

[McLynnan]

Why isn’t The One making these demands? It’s been a week and our federal government has done nada to help this family.

[RightOnTheBorder]

48 hours or what? Gardasil Rick isn't gonna do a thing, but he thinks his hollow rhetoric will score him points with the voters. If this were not an election year, the most he would do is chuckle about the incident over a cognac with Calderone.

[COBOL2Java]

Texas Governor gives Mexico 48 hours to find body of missing American shot by pirates

...after which a very strongly-worded letter will be FAXed to Calderon. Followed the next day by a FAX in ALL CAPS!

[MarkL]

I'm hoping that if the Mexican government doesn't help out here, that Mr. Perry sends heavily armed Texas Rangers across the border to search the Mexican side of the lake shoreline. Screw the "international incident." There have been so many DOCUMENTED cases of Mexican nationals AND MILITARY violating our territory and even shooting at civilian LE and Border Patrol officers!

I do NOT want him to send the National Guard, because Obama could nationalize the units and order them to stand down.

OK, or he will what? Already said.

Sightseeing in Mexico? Really? Why? Why would anyone in their right mind go to Mexico anymore? Why would anyone go anywhere in Mexico at all. It is probably worse there now than Colombia ever was.

[Bringbackthedraft]

I’m sure the Great Leader will apologize for the incursion. That will end it.

[TomGuy]

48 hours?

Then what?

Stomp your feet and pout? Call Obama? Call Janet Napalitano? Call the governor and demand actions [oh, wait, you are the governor].

[RJS1950]

If BO takes no action on this then he his tacitly admitting that border issues are a state problem and not a federal issue. That might be a strong point for Arizona in addressing the unconstitutional lawsuit the fed brought against them.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Isn’t the US Coast Guard “supposed” to patrol waters between states and between the US, mexico and Canada? I haven’t heard them mentioned at all in this.
