It IS nonsense to wall off Texas (and our farmers and ranchers along it) from the Rio Grande. Anyone who knows anything about Texas knows THAT. Duh. We have more border miles than the other states. Perry was right. It’s total nonsense. Illegals don’t cross over in the boonies anyway. They’re crossing at the cities...where we ALREADY HAVE FENCES. Get your info from somewhere other than MSNBC and you’ll be a lot better informed.
I don't watch MSNBC. I've never lived in TX, but I have lived in CA and AZ. If illegals don't cross over in the "boonies", why do we have all the bleeding heart stories of those dying while doing so? Why are people leaving water or distributing maps showing them how to do it? (forget MSNBC, try a google search for those items). For decades the POTUS (even Obama) and a majority of the American people have said that enforcement of our borders is paramount to our security as a nation. If ever there were a case for imminent domain, this is it. You and Perry seem to be saying, "No, we can't". Remember when JFK said we could send a man to the moon by the end of the decade? We did it. Since NASA, under Obama, has stopped our shuttle missions and become more of a Muslim outreach program, maybe we could fund more fences. If not with Federal dollars, then with public donations. Why hasn't Perry initiated something like this?
Here is a link from Greta's interview with AZ State Sen. Smith.
AZ turns to people to help build border fence
It seems to me that you are the one less informed on the issue.
