MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry says he opposes a fence along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Speaking to hundreds of New Hampshire voters at a private reception Saturday afternoon, the Texas governor says a fence would be ineffective and take too long to build.
The comments, which produced one angry shout, expose a rift with some conservative voters over Perry's immigration record. Tea party activists in Texas have been particularly upset by his steady opposition to the fence. He also signed a law giving illegal immigrants in-state tuition for Texas universities.

There’s at least 30 million as of at least 2004. That’s 10%+ of the population.
The reason I suspect this is that software corporations have a 10% principle: When a certain platform achieves 10% market share, it is profitable to port whatever they are writing to it.
“Spanish Language Customers” are a “platform” that started getting major attention as of at least 2004 nationally. That’s when I started seeing banks advertising to Spanish people.
That’s when they hit 10%.
It’s only grown since then.

And my point was that it didn’t work at keeping Germans out. And it didn’t. They found a way around it.
I repeat, muawiyah, any fence by itself won’t work, and a fence in some places is not the right answer.
It will take massive patroling to make a fence effective, so I can see the value of a monitored no man’s land with real troop presence as a better answer.
Would a fence have stopped an Apache or a Comanche?
“Perry said that he does support putting “boots on the ground” and using “aviation assets” (i.e. aerial drones) to secure the border.’

He shouldn’t need a roof over his head anymore either. Why, with “boots on the ground” and “aviation assets”, a sleeping bag should be enough!
Tell that to Israel. Take down the White House fence.
You’re talking about a fence in the middle of the Rio Grande, right? Not about taking productive privately owned farm and ranch land from Texans, I’m sure.
If you are, we could maybe trade your home and job or you could send in he troops to “Come and take it!” Of course, those troops could be better and more Constitutionally used against invaders.
You're missing what the msm is missing as well. Yes, the citizens of Texas blew a gasket over Gardasil being forced upon all their daughters so the legislature put the breaks on it. We also learned that Perry's ex-chief of staff was hired by Gardasil's parent company, Merck, to lobby the legislature to pass the bill - what a coinky-dink. Oh, but that's not all. His current chief of staff's mother in law was heading up the women's organization to push it through - my, my, more coinky-dinks. So, it wasn't until Perry got his hands caught in the cookie jar that he hung his head, shuffled his feet and apologized. That's when the msm stopped reporting on it and everyone thought it had gone away. Au contraire. Perry is a career politician who knows how to get around the system. Bring in the smoke and mirrors so no one notices. Gardasil is still alive and well. However, this time Perry took a detour around by eliminating the mandantory part. Now it's government provided feel good program. Gardasil is shipped to public schools and the school nurse sends out letters to parents stating the shots are FREE to anyone who wants them. Sorry, but it is definitely not free. We, the Texas taxpayers, are paying for it whether we like it or not.
>the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”
How do you get down the other side?
Yes but he’s also not for doing anything else to secure the border. If he was he would have explained what he would do to secure it.
If he was, he would have done it by now using the powers he has as governor. But he has not.
Which means he would not do anything else to secure the border. No troops patrolling the border, no guard towers, no armed drones, no unarmed drones, no land mines, no dmz, no nothing.

How do you get down the other side?
I guess you tie a rope to the top, and are lowered, or you lower self, right?
Anyways, fences/walls work. Ask Israel, China, or the White House.
It’s extremely limited, almost impossible to own property in mexico if you’re a foreigner.
We have major league drug dealers smuggling who knows what across the border and we have terrorists bringing who knows what across the border. Besides the biggest threat, anchor babies and unchecked illegal immigration that will sink the ship of the us financially if left unchecked.
Just what I feared another New World Order big government socialist in sheeps clothing.
Note, the King of Spain did not exactly agree that the Brits could rule that ghetto. But once Virginia was carved up into various colonies and tens of thousands of people lived there, Spain couldn't really do all that much about it.
The only way to control the bordr is to patrol the border.
Why are you determined to have a fence that requires taking farm and ranch land out of production? Put “boots on the ground” and spare the ranchland.
Don’t they also have armored gun towers or bunkers built into the wall at certain intervals, too?
Yes, all same thing GI.
The national border runs along the Rio Grande.
Hawaii is one of the yellow (not cream colored) states. If the bloomin’ Pacific Ocean hasn’t kept Hawaii purely American, then it’s going to take a LOT of effort. Perhaps electronically aided policing of the US-Mexican border would do the trick. Won’t be cheap, but an effort of that magnitude is required.
Not only that.
If they find border jumpers from Central America in Mexico, they beat the crap out of them, then hand them over to the police, who beat the crap out of them, take their money, then ship them back on a crowded bus deep into their home country and tell them they’ll kill them if they come back.
Citizens in mexico have arrest powers concerning illegals. Hence the first crap pounding they get.
...and other states are looking at providing it....
