He means secured as in stopping illegals from coming across.

He is against a fence because it will not work - and many agree especially here in Texas. I agree also.
It would be a huge expense to put up a 1200+ mile fence and it would be a waste of money.

Perry is adamant that it would take “Boots On The Ground” + high tech equipment like drones.

E-Verify is a joke.

He was NOT against AZ1070 at all. He just felt like parts of it were not right for Texas. He did not want Texas State Patrol Officers becoming Border Agents. He said it would take away from the job they had to do.

He was for the Sanctuary City Law this last legislative session but our law makers in Texas did not pass it.
He put it back on the table for consideration when he called a special session and they again did not pass it.
However, the photo id for driver license passed within the state budget but a Fed judge halted it. The one thing that did get through our legislature which he signed was a voter id - this eliminates illegals from voting in Texas.

He is against Sanctuary Cities and Policies but much of that is the local city government. Again, he put the Sanctuary City law back on the table during the special session and our state gov did not pass it. There is only so much he can do, even as Governor of Texas.

And the State Police do not practice Sanctuary policies.
They don’t do the job of the Border Police but if someone commits a crime and they think they are illegal - they will check their status.

"He is against a fence because it will not work - and many agree especially here in Texas. I agree also. It would be a huge expense to put up a 1200+ mile fence and it would be a waste of money."

BS.

Put up a deouble walled fence with a road between them...armed observation posts ever 400yds. Trucks every 5 miles.

To suggest the border cannot be secured is either ignorant or pandering to Perry.

It could be secured for FAR less money then we spend in Afghanistan.

Which is more important?

Says who?

And what do you mean will not work?

Would it be effective in lessoning the number of Illegal Immigrants sneaking across the border?

Would it make it harder having to get across a fence that is also patrolled by border patrol agents?

You betcha it would!

E-Verify is a joke.

Another nonsensicle illogical statement from a Perry Apologist.

So forcing employers to use E-Verify to validate someones citizenship and then BY LAW, forcing them not to hire someone who fails E-Verify under penalty of jail-time won't be effective?

What are you, brain-dead?

So tell me TexMom7, don't DPS and Texas Rangers take an oath to uphold the US Constitution, and the Laws of the United States, and the laws of Texas?

Sorry, but like so much of the hypocritical nonsense that comes out of Perry's mouth concerning Illegal Immigration, this is so much nonsense.

It is so much nonsense because the policies already in place for the DPS for dealing with Illegal Aliens are almost exactly the same as those already in place for Houston, a city Perry and his staff has called a Sanctuary City.

Until Rick "Open-Borders" Perry changes those DPS policies, this is just campaing pandering on his part and the height of hypocracy.

My goodness, where to even start with all the willful self-delusion here?

He means secured as in stopping illegals from coming across.

No. He means he'd like to make them all legal. Perry and his biggest financial supporters are rabid open-borders ideologues.

Wrong. He's against a fence because he's taken alot of money over the years from other people who are against the fence.

Perry is adamant that it would take “Boots On The Ground” + high tech equipment like drones.

Wrong. Perry is using this either as a strawman that will never come to pass, or a backdoor corporate welfare handout to defense contractors that will use the technology to document all the people coming across, and then proceed to do nothing about it. Virtual fences don't work. Real walls do. Ask Israel.

E-Verify is a joke.

I've used E-Verify. It works just fine, and much better than the current I-9 requirement, which actually is a joke.

Bullshit. This doesn't require any other response.

However, the photo id for driver license passed within the state budget but a Fed judge halted it.

More bullshit. He put it on the ledger to keep himself from being lynched, then did absolutely nothing to help get it through the legislature. What part of Rick Perry is a paid shill for the Open Borders Lobby do you not understand?

His recent cynical pandering aside, there's nothing in Perry's personal history, governing philosophy, or donor list to even remotely support his assertions about being for a secure border or being against a blanket amnesty. He will be vetted and exposed as a fraud sometime between now and next November. I'd prefer sooner, so as not to hand re-election to Komrad Soetoro on a silver platter next fall. Next contender (pretender?) please. Watching McCain get carried off on a stretcher really wasn't enough for the RNC to have its come-to-Jesus moment on borders and immigration?

He means secured as in stopping illegals from coming across.
