Rick Perry stepped in it again on Fox with Brit Hume today. Perry has been asking for the National Guard. Hume asked what he wanted the Guard to do since they don't have arrest powers, or the ability to shoot at them. Perry vapor locked and started talking about optics. Duh. When Perry doesn't even know what he wants to do Guard troops, it makes the request look like a political ploy.

I think the Guard is a good idea. If I was the Governor I would request MPs, supply types, some Lakotas with cameras, and maybe some engineers to throw up some temp barriers to create some tactical (extremely local) choke points. Maybe if we mobilized some JAG corps types who could be sworn in as immigration judges and then process the OTMs for immediate deportation. Between JAG corp and rehiring some retired judges we could probably speed thing a up quite a bit. The objective of this is to not move any illegals out of the area where they were captured other than a jet plane home.

Yep —

The whole idea is to contain it in south Texas and then export them from there.

That’s why Obama is quickly dispersing this riff raff from Texas to around the country.

I think Perry did respond with some of your points this morning. He definitely said that national guard could do logistics so that BP could focus on screening and anti-drug activities.

On Hannity he was emphasizing drones for surveillance rather than your Lakotas but he was talking about them being operated by NG/military.

And optics are going to be needed to overcome the message that Obama sent .. that todos will have promisos
