Ricardo Perrinista's team is rife with liberals many, it would seem, who operate here at FR.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (left), the leading contender for the GOP presidential nomination, according to a Gallup poll taken from August 17–21, has reiterated his opposition to a fence along the American border with Mexico. He commented on the fence at a campaign stop in New Hampshire, a crucial primary state.
Perry, who served as the chairman of leftist Al Gore’s Democratic presidential campaign in Texas in 1988, has a confirmed liberal history on immigration, as The New American has reported, although he now campaigns as a conservative.

/s we wouldn’t want to keep out drugs, terrorists, illegals, human slaves..../s
The same position as Sarah Palin. Oh wow. Breaking news. :-/
That said, if it's a choice between Perry and Obama I have to support Perry. For that matter, if it's a choice between the Easter Bunny and Obama, I have to support the rabbit, who after all has a more credible background story than Obama does, and sounder policies.
He used to be a Dem and now he’s a conservative? WWRRS?
IIRC, his reason for not wanting a border fence is because it would prevent scads of Texas ranchers from, you know, having access to the river for their property and whatnot.
Not that we’d want to tell the full story or anything, of course.
Mexicans build tunnels from a house in Mexico to a house on the US side. Fences are not going to stop those using tunnels.
Texas has a 1200 mile border with Mexico.
We need troops down there. Rick Perry had requested 1000 troops for the border. But Obama said "no".
I see St Rick just added a Romneyite to his team too. (Mick Mulvaney as economic adviser)
So now he has a communications director married to a Romney fundraiser and a man who backed Romney as an economic adviser.
The rabbit gives away his own eggs.....
“I have since changed my mind realising that for the cost..”
Couldn’t we just hire a bunch of illegals and pay them under the table?
>I was once a supporter of a border fence from one end of the US to the other. I have since changed my mind realising that for the cost, the time and work it would take to put it up we’d still need to have troops down there to guard the fence.<
No it doesn’t...just place landmines.
“No border fence”
No soup for you!
The argument that they would still use tunnels, etc to get around it essentially says that unless a fence is 100% effective, it is not worth it.
Even if it is only 90% effective, it is worth it. The cost of a fence pales into insignificance against the cost of education, healthcare, policing, incarcerating, etc. for the population of illegals in the US. Reducing that flow, even if not eliminating it entirely, will reduce the financial burden on the states where the illegals live.
Yes, a fence would still require a border patrol, but you can use fewer border patrol agents on a properly fenced stretch of border than an unfenced stretch.
Don't really feel like doing it again. Continue with the bash fest.
Perry is so full of crap. He is a THE choice for the International Bankster crowd. The ultimate goal is to integrate North America, and eventually the world. Perry will be no different than Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama.
webcams, free education, in-state tuition, free healthcare and welfare for all!!
That’s some immigration program

Kind of like the Trans-Texas-Corridor Highway and the imminant domain grabs. Those farmers wouldn’t have “access” to their land either.
