No I didn't. I've read enough of Perry's explanations in the past to know it's BS. And I am not opposed to a Perry candidacy, but I will call BS when I see it, even when it's uttered by a candidate I would otherwise be inclined to support.

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.

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.
