Here is Perry’s REAL views on the border:
“Governing Principle
There can be no homeland security without border security, and there can be no higher priority than protecting our citizens.
While our focus begins with preventing the worst of the violence currently raging in northern Mexico from spilling over into the United States, the violence is only part of the destruction that can result from a porous border. The free flow of drugs, weapons and people resulting from inadequate security can undercut economic development, education and trade. As such, they can hurt Texas families in every way imaginable, from loss of jobs to the loss of family members to addiction, imprisonment or death.
Border security is a federal responsibility but a Texas problem, and Texas has invested hundreds of millions of state dollars in efforts to support and supplement security forces already in place. Still, this is a problem that will only be solved with more federal accountability and involvement.”
Maybe if the rest of the states had the guts to bill the Zero Admin for the cost States carry to feed, cloth, imprison and provide med care. We would see some fed action on the problem. Like bringing our troops home from overseas and putting them on the border.
He's not permoting this for our nations safety...he's doing this for the gravy he gets off the border and the deals he's made for that area with Mexico.
