Why one year? It should not take long to build a fence. I say start one hour after swearing in and have done in three months. This is ridiculous....one year? It is just like him to push the date back as long as possible. He does that during debates too. Oh we are talking about the economy tonight well in three days, I will present my economic plan. He is a humorously sad individual. He is STILL at 6 percent. What a bunch of idiots those 6 percent are.
If it is a federal project, he would have to hire unions thus it takes twice as long. Now, if he hired a bunch of illegals it could be done in two weeks.. but that wouldn’t go over to well.
There is already nearly 700 miles of fence. The hold up is Texas, and the enviros.
HANNITY: So you think you could secure the border in what period of time if you're president?
PERRY: I think you can do it within a year. I mean, seriously, within a year --
HANNITY: That means nobody can come across the border?
PERRY: Unless you want them to. You know, if there is a point in time where we need to have that conversation, what is the type of immigration policy we needed to have? What kind of people do we want coming across? And we will know who they are. But I feel very comfortable that you put those assets on the border. You know, the only bottleneck I see with being able to do that in the year is training up enough of those predator drone pilots.
We got these other conflicts going on around the world, but we quickly can shut that border down, bad guys will know it in a hurry.
HANNITY: All right. But you don't need a fence, in your view?
PERRY: Oh, I think there are places that strategic fencing --
HANNITY: But not across the whole border.
PERRY: I think the idea of saying, listen, I am going to build a double fence, we're going to put alligators between it, and we're going to put lava in there as well. I mean, you know, one tries to out-do the other one. That's 2,000 miles. The idea of building a 2,000-mile fence costs huge amounts of money and takes very long periods of time, but strategic fencing in these high-traveled areas where we know they are absolutely using it in there. And then you augment that with the most powerful piece of your strategy and that is the boots on the ground driven by those aviation assets, given real time information. Those three together make that border secure.

The land must be purchased and prices negotiated. That will take some time.
