We will definitely do something. It will involve a fence or a wall or both and a force to police it. National Guard is being proposed, but I favor using the Texas State Guard AFTER it has been revitalized to be up to the task. The Texas State Guard has a rather unique history and was designed exactly for tasks like this, but has been allowed to deteriorate into a donut-eating group of airshow traffic cops.

Young, middle aged, and more than a few "geezers" are raring to volunteer for border duty.

It's not our fault, but it is our problem. We've given the federal government every conceivable opportunity to do its duty, but it is clear that it will not because IT DOES NOT WANT TO.

The real test till come when, as it will, the fedgov says "stand down," and Texas, and it will, refuses to do so.

Rick Perry is not going to use the Texas State Guard or the National Guard for border patrols.
