My, my, my...I would like to see Medina run against White because I think just about anybody could beat him...and then consider the fun in Austin if an outsider suddenly had the reins.
Perry has been trying to get more authority and money for “boots on the ground” for police forces empowered and mannded to control the border, he’s used the authority he’s got to enforce immigration and deportation. However, States are limited by the Federal forces and laws. lmarie373’s source hates Perry, but even he has documented Perry’s border efforts back in 2005 http://24ahead.com/blog/archives/004096.html
In 2007, he set up the Border Security Council http://www.texasinsider.org/?p=320
In 2009, he sent Texas Rangers and asked for Federal troops

I’d sure like to see what legislation Medina has testified for at Austin, much less managed to get legislators to sign. When has she sat in committee meetings for half a day, waiting her turn to speak? What has she lobbied for? When has she worked for anything other than to build opposition to the Republicans by forming the Campaign for Liberty, Texas Liberty Campaign, and her own campaigns?
Did she chase the Dems to Oklahoma or New Mexico in 2003? Did she join FReepers in any of our protests over the 2000 Bush challenge or over the fleeing Dems in 2003?
