You do realize it is the FedGovs responsibility to secure the borders, dont you? It is one of the few things the FedGov is actually mandated by the Constitution to do. It falls under national defense and security. This administration has refused to spend any resources on the border, forcing the states to have to deal with it. Texas has a balanced budget, madated by the Texas Constitution, so we cant spend money we dont have on border security. Why dont you tell us what you would do, given those constraints?

Mimic governors Brewer,Martinez & Deal. Follow the clues laid out by Senator Martin of SC. Go listen to the press interview of Gov. Nikki Haley after the first successful prosecution and revocation of a business liscense after it persisted in hiring illegals.
Perry never does stuff like this he avoids and gets lots of money for doing so. Romney has a better record on enforcing immigration laws than Perry.
