Just to set the record strait. There are so many news reports over the years that this is the "short version."

[hocndoc]

Here’s the latest from WingRight.org, with the “short version” of the Governor’s strong record on border security.

Again, thank you, casinva for all the hard work you’ve done.

[Lakeshark]

He set the record straight all by himself, you need not help.

He's a hispanderer and unless we agree with him we're heartless.........

Link to a report on recent active taking place on the border by Perry's Texas Rangers Recon Teams

WESLACO — Answering a smattering of gunshots with a 300-round barrage should show drug runners - their inflatable rafts full of illegal contraband - that Texas law enforcement officers aren't messing around, authorities said.

He said a single shot against a U.S. law enforcement officer is "one too many."

"We are going to use overwhelming force. We're going to use tactics ... You shoot a law enforcement officer, you're going to get return fire," he said. snip....

A Freeper who lives in the valley, has said thank God for Governor Perry. IF it wasn't for his actions we'd been over run and killed by now by the drug cartel. Freeper said...those blacks hawks come so low over our house they rip the shingles right off our roof.

This is the fence the feds have built.

This fence should make us all feel safe./s

Providing benefits to people who are here illegally only encourages more. You would only do that if you are not concerned with the fact that they are not supposed to be here. Instead you you reward them?

I think he also denied any TTC or if there was a Trans Texas Corridor under way, he was not involved in it. Anyone on FR beleive that?

[smoothsailing]

He created the Ranger Recon force, sending 150 Texas Rangers (Motto:"One riot, one Ranger") to the border along with helicopters and Texas Guardsmen, paid for with Texas state funds. "Operation Linebacker" and "Border Star" were efforts from 2006 and 2007: Gov. Perry Implements and Leads Operation Border Star From 2009: Gov. Perry Expanding Operation Border Star – Sends Rangers, Guard to the Border.

The integration of Texas Rangers, Guardsmen, Border Sheriffs and communication and aviation assets is one of the more innovative of Governor Perry's approaches to border security. These programs date back to at least 2005 and I believe some elements were implemented even earlier by the Governor.

Which begs the question, is it the role of a state like Texas, or Indiana, or Massachsetts for that matter, to use it's limited monetary and precious human treasure to defend itself against foreign invaders? If we truly are a Representative Constitutional Republic, the answer should be No! But in the case of Texas the answer has to be yes, if survival is to matter.

Had the Federal Government respected the Constitutional imperative to secure and defend our borders, this burden that has now fallen on the people of Texas could have been lightened considerably and ideally eliminated completely.

Unfortunately, that has not been the case. Those who profess to be staunch conservatives claim to be appalled. Isn't it ironic that the Governor of Texas would become the target of those who claim to demand secure borders?

Thanks for the great post, hocndoc!

I was just able to get a chance to read your article. I had some family things earlier today and then my grandson was using my computer to watch a Veggie Tales movie! It was Veggie Tales!!! :) First things first, you know! :)

Texas, our entire country really, has benefited greatly from all Governor Perry has done to secure our borders. I am more and more amazed every time I read all the $$$ that he has directed to those efforts, compliments of Texas but with no regrets as this great state would gladly do what it needs to do to help our country. I believe Governor Perry shows a remarkable commitment to working towards a better and safer tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the info!
