HOUSTON, Texas—Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) appeared on Fox News’ Fox and Friends show and said Texas lacks the resources and manpower to secure the 1,200 mile Texas border with Mexico.

The comment sent shock waves through a Texas grassroots discussion thread on Facebook this morning of activists who are seeking a special session call from the Governor to deal with the issue of border security.

Blame it on the feds who only aid and abet the invasion...Perry is just a helpless innocent by-stander who is unable to do anything...

Going back over a decade ago, Bush say the same exact thing...

As the audience of voting fools applaud. The insiders in on this epic con-game smile...

Well if we put up a border fence you know who the government would hire to build it. A Mexican company. I wonder how many secret passages there would be?

Imagine telling Crockett or Bowie they just didn’t have enough manpower.

Uh...you know that they actually didn't, right? If you had been at the Alamo in 1836, and you told Crockett and Bowie they didn't have enough manpower, you would have been 100% correct.





































I mean...I get your point here, but sometimes invoking the memory of the Battle of the Alamo isn't a productive exercise in logic. ;-)

Then, what good are the TX Constitution, states rights, TX Rangers, TX National Guard....

By the way, Perry has called up the TX Rangers to protect our border, before. He can sure as heck do it, again.

Ask for volunteers. I'm sure there will be plenty.

The last time that was attempted, Mr. Bush called them vigilantes and kick started the machine to discredit them and paint them as violent raciest...

All as millions were flooding in.......During war time.

Folks expected Tx to pay for it.
We said Ah Hell Naw! for a variety of good reasons.

Since there are now upwards of 35 million in country I'd say it's a bit late for that Jane...

BTW, Dallas Parkland home to about 14,000 illegal alien new mothers every year...At just one single hospital...Multiply that thousands of times....
