Yep, I’ve been calling for that, along with the removal of all government benefits and support for a long time now.
But, as you know, that does not build a fence. So, by the logic of the typical anti-Perry post, you are a RINO for suggesting anything other than a fence.
For the fence, AND ONLY THE FENCE, is the way to secure the border and reduce illegal immigration. To suggest anything else... wow! Must be a DU troll or something.

People don’t seem to understand that today is today, not yesterday, not ten or twenty years ago.
In spite of Ron Paul’s appalling remarks last night, he has a tiny bit right (for the wrong reasons). I don’t think we should send troops anywhere. I think we should rely on espionage and just flat bomb any location we think is creating weapons of mass destruction.
I’m tired of the sand brothers, tired of their culture, tired of messing with them. They won’t change. We need to develop our own resources, GET RID of the EPA and get on with it.
The same mindset is true of the border. Perry is right about the Texas border. Ever tried to drive across it?
If the money is right all sorts of ways can be developed to circumvent an unguarded fence. As Perry put it, 30 foot fence, 35 foot ladders. And, of course digging tunnels.
We need 2011 technology put to use. Surely there is some technology to detect movement along the border and we should have copters ready to go to that spot and arrest people. Unfortunately, we can’t shoot them.
