Oh yeah it is, because thanks to Obama they are being armed and then sent back where they stroll back across the border.
A lot of these people are being caught in California and then Obama buses them to Texas to be released. We are out gunned, out manned and out spent on the border and the US Government has not given a damn since Patton was here fighting Pancho Villa. People want to blame Perry for this because he is left to clean it up, but that is BS. We got 1.1 to 1.2 million illegals in our state and we can't do anything about it. We can't throw them out, Feds wont let us, we have to feed them, we have to provide them medical care and we have to educate them or we will be in violation of US Law. And the only thing the President is doing is sending the worst of them to our border and then arming them with weapons that can out gun our cops and border agents.
The only way to secure the border is to restore order to Mexico. Perry already told us that's his plan when he became the head of the RGA. He intends to send in the military to kill the Narco-Terrorist and the corrupt Mexican Military while arming the border with the National Guard and more border agents. He intends to add strategic fencing and UAVs and electronic monitoring with the man power to respond and capture incursions with permission to return fire.
Unfortunately for Perry is he said something stupid in one debate, that he apologized for, and people are too offended to actually research his real record. And because he correctly says trying to fence the entire border is stupid. Anyone who says you can has never looked at a map let alone been to the Texas Border otherwise they would have noticed a big river there.
“Feds wont let us...”
Well, maybe its time (actually way past time) to tell them Feds to pound sand and arm up our border patrols with weapons that are way more superior and unfair to the criminal elements pushing the people and drugs across the border...
I’m not talking about shooting people coming across, but the ones shooting right now at our forces from across the border to protect their drug shipments...That, to me, is a target rich environment,and if Phillipe has a problem with that, he can KMA...
If perry has claimed to have this type of aggressive handling of the issue in his “plan”, I have not seen it, and it certainly isn’t enough so far...
Some people here know I have a step-brother who is a DPS flight officer who has been shot at several times while interdicting and assisting other “agencies” in the border war on drug trafficking...And those big holes in his aircraft are not small fries, he has been lucky so far...
I want him and his fellow officers to be able to address that issue on the spot and with equipment and ROE to make it unprofitable and uncomfortable to continue to conduct business as usual across the border...
Apparently the political courage to do so is lacking in ALL aspects on this, and I won’t be holding my breath to see anything substancial implemented to get this problem under control...
Frankly I think its too late...And the solution is beyond most folks tolerance level...Most people here do not care if this problem gets resolved...Yet...And when they do it will really be too late...
