What is the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry doing about this?

He's busy doing symbolic gestures that accomplish nothing of real value or substance in this situation so he can pretend to be strong on border issues.

I’m in Texas watching this closely. Perry has put out $1.3 million a week to help defend our borders and relieve the border patrol...it is not the states responsibility to defend out borders it is the job of the federal government to do it and Obama does nothing. He is using Texas money, which I am glad he is doing, otherwise it would be much worse. He wants the funds back but if Obama won’t respond to his request for the National Guard then he is doing the best he can. I write and call me officials almost daily, what do you do? Be careful not to just complain and research before making statements that discourage those that are trying to save this great nation.
