Have a listen. Perry explains it to you.
I’ve heard Perry’s explanations. Quite frankly, they doesn’t make sense. Yeah, a fence won’t stop everyone. But it sure as heck will slow them down and make it easier to spot them crossing the border if the fence is properly constructed and maintain. IMO Perry’s border fence opposition is pandering to the Hispanic lobby.
Did you listen to the interview?
True. However, Perry's willingness to compromise personal liberty is one giant strike against him.
Israel has shown that border fences can be quite effective. A fence by itself is not the solution, but it is an integral part of defense in depth. Yeah, you could take steps to defend the border without it, but a fence makes all the other elements much more effective. That is the point Perry and other fence critics miss.
Depends on the fence. 50 ft high and another 50ft into the dirt ought to stop about 99.9% of all foot and vehicle traffic across the border.
IMO Perry's fence opposition is pandering. It is much less obnoxious than past pandering by the likes of Bush, Rove and McCain, but is still pandering nonetheless.
As we’ve seen they dig under fences, they tunnel under towns, they climb over the fences, they drive across in cars and trucks, they fly over the fences.....
Please listen to the audio file I linked in Post #21 and think about what Perry says.
And the Texas border with Mexico is longer than the fence Israel built — a LOT longer.
The most powerful Republican Jewish organization is the Republican Jewish Coalition. Lots o big Jewish conservative donors attended and so did Rick Perry at their big meeting in Las Vegas last February. Perry spoke there
Perry in angling for the Jewish bucks right now. More power to him!!
To do a good job, get a powerful magnifying glass and then look at each and every hair. Then when you think you see a nit, pick it from the hair.
Such is the guardisil incident, a trivial totally unimportant opportunity to create an incident from the vacuum of nothingness. It amounts to less than a single nit
Using that logic, we should remove all walls around jails, as prisoners dig under the walls from time to time. Like I said, a fence by itself is not a solution, but it is an integral part of security in depth.

I will, but I fully expect it to be a different wrapper on the same old crapola.
And the Texas border with Mexico is longer than the fence Israel built a LOT longer.
So that means we need to get busy building it instead of stalling it. Texas does have an advantage over NM, AZ and California - it does have a natural moat along the border, i.e. the Rio Grande. So the objections of tunneling and driving past a fence are countered in the case of Texas - you can't just drive over the Rio Grande to get the truck carrying ladders to the fence. Try swimming the Rio Grande with a 30 foot aluminum ladder.
That is what I am talking about - objections such as yours fall apart once logic is applied to them. I get sick of that kind of idiocy. Just call Perry's stance here what it is - pandering - and go to the next issue.
That's what I mean. I am inclined to support Perry overall. But don't insult my intelligence and make me waste ten minutes finding and listening to something that does not address the concerns I have raised. That just pisses me off and makes me question the veracity of your advocacy for Perry. Tell it straight and don't play the bamboozle game. Freepers are smart enough to see right through it.
Yes they are dirtboy.
Forced vaccinations is sinister, made all the more sinister combined with Bilderberg and Trans-Texas Corridor. Bachmann’s background is starting to look awfully sketchy. But nothing sinister that I can see. Palin is looking better and better.
