Napolitano's "staffing" amounted to more government paper pushers, not boots on the ground.
We (Texans) have a 1250 mile INTERNATIONAL border with Mexico. It is the FEDs job (money and muscle) to protect it. Texans are spending about $100 million a year from our budget on border security. Gov. Rick Perry has asked for drones, he's gone to Israel to see how they protect the Gaza Strip. He has asked for 3000 troops on the border. Rick Perry has set up an elite Texas Ranger force.
What do you suggest Gov. Perry do, beyond running for the top job and finally facing and addressing this issue?

For the time being, Gov. Perry should send the Texas Rangers to the border.

Perry could always engage in war with Mexico.
As a whole, our border with Mexico should be militarized anyway. If one argues that the threat to terrorism is so vast, one cannot say it is without securing to border to protect against said threats.

Texas Governor Rick Perry hand delivered a 4 page letter, regarding the lack of U.S. border security along Texas-Mexico border, to President Obama who had flown into Austin to raise campaign money for his 2012 presidential reelection campaign.
Gov. Rick Perry, with state Sen. Kirk Watson, left, greets the president as he arrives in Austin. Perry brought a four-page letter on border security.

I don’t think 0bama’s handling of the border is any worse than the way George W. Bush handled it. Bush was an absolute disaster.

"What do you suggest Gov. Perry do, beyond running for the top job and finally facing and addressing this issue?"
How about NOT supporting a Texas DREAM Act?
How about NOT publicly railing against AZ 1070?
Perry is all hat on border security/illegal immigration just like he is on fiscal issues. RINO Ricky has ties to some certifiable religious wack-jobs in Texas, so he may be doing more than just election-year pandering on abortion. Then again, he endorsed Giuliani last time around so he might be full of it on RTL, too.
