But if Perry is weak on the border, that’s an issue.

He's pretty strong on the border, actually

Sure. Perry's really tough on the border, that's why under Perry's decade-long reign, Texas has the second HIGHEST percentages of illegal aliens in America, even moreso than fellow border states Arizona and New Mexico (where the Governors OPPOSE benefits for illegals)

Shall I believe you or my lyin' eyes?

"He is pretty strong on the border, actually"

He is weak on a fence. And prefers labor costs to cameras. Granted, cameras are worthless without labor to monitor and act on the cameras. But labor is expensive and if cameras can help reduce labor costs they ought to be used.

Seems more like lip service to me. From the link:

Perry's office argues that the camera program didn't miss its goals but that the targets were improperly set at the outset of the first $2 million grant. The targets were revised after the first year; after the changes, they closely match that year's actual results.

The governor's office issued a revised year-end report earlier this summer after fielding a reporter's questions about why an initial year-end report showed the cameras did not meet the original goals. The revised report listed goals that were dramatically downsized.

Instead of 200 cameras, the revised report showed the coalition was expected to install only 15, a target the sheriffs exceeded by installing 17 cameras.

The goal for arrests was shifted from 1,200 down to 25, more in line with the 11 arrests the coalition actually reported.

Perry spokeswoman Katherine Cesinger said the initial goals should have been adjusted sooner and attributed the lapse to technological glitches.

PATHETIC, really
