Governing Principle
There can be no homeland security without border security, and there can be no higher priority than protecting our citizens.
While our focus begins with preventing the worst of the violence currently raging in northern Mexico from spilling over into the United States, the violence is only part of the destruction that can result from a porous border. The free flow of drugs, weapons and people resulting from inadequate security can undercut economic development, education and trade. As such, they can hurt Texas families in every way imaginable, from loss of jobs to the loss of family members to addiction, imprisonment or death.
Border security is a federal responsibility but a Texas problem, and Texas has invested hundreds of millions of state dollars in efforts to support and supplement security forces already in place. Still, this is a problem that will only be solved with more federal accountability and involvement.
Highlights
-- Starting in 2005 with Operation Linebacker, the state has sought to provide funding, manpower and equipment to local law enforcement agencies operating along the Texas-Mexico border.
-- The state's latest operation, Border Star, builds on the successes of previous operations with unprecedented local, state and federal law enforcement coordination. With the assistance of the 80th and 81st Legislatures, the State of Texas has been able to appropriate more than $110 million each session to fund and amplify these efforts.
-- In response to a rising tide of gang violence in Texas communities, the Governor allocated $4 million in criminal justice grants to cities across the state to increase patrols of gang hotspots. In 2009, Gov. Perry worked to secure more than $10 million in state funding for enhanced anti-gang efforts during the 2010-11 biennium.
-- In September 2009, Gov. Perry announced the formation of highly-skilled Ranger Recon Teams — which include Texas Rangers, Texas National Guard Counterdrug forces, Highway Patrol and DPS Aviation assets — in order to address threats building in the unincorporated areas along the Texas-Mexico border.
-- Since early 2009, Gov. Perry has repeatedly called on Washington to authorize the deployment of 1,000 Title 32 National Guard soldiers to the Texas-Mexico border to support border security operations currently underway. (see letter to President Obama, letter to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and request to Defense Secretary Gates)
--Gov. Perry has also recommended an expeditious deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles to provide real-time surveillance and intelligence to law enforcement on the ground.
BTW those proposed fences and barracks in no mans land would not only be vary costy to build because they are in the middle of no where, but there would be no one out there to cross the border.
Israel has the same issues in the Negev desert and their border is tiny.

"Those opposed to subsidies and rewards for illegal aliens are heartless".
ROTFLOL——cute.
Precisely.
I would like every Perry supporter to answer this question:
Should the children of illegal aliens be given preferential treatment over legal American citizens, by being allowed to pay lower tuition?
Yes or no???
(Perry does.)
BONUS QUESTION:
Do you think people who oppose this are “heartless?”
Yes or no?
(Perry does.)
(If you answered “yes” to those questions, look in the mirror. You are part of the reason America is going down the toilet.)
>>So let’s keep Obama — he is just so much better than Perry on all issues dear to conservatives, he deserves another four years.<<
Yes, because as EVERYONE knows, those are our only choices:
Hispandering Perry or Obama.
I will let your statement stand in all its stark senselessness.
>>I don’t understand why the Perrybots don’t get this??? <<
Oh, they GET it. It’s just that they don’t CARE.
“free ride”
What free ride are you referring to?
“ Those opposed to subsidies and cash rewards for illegals
are heartless. Only I am Truly Worthy to suckup to illegals."

"It's a deal---I bring 'em over the border with govt freebies for each identity.
You get voting blocs to pressure Congress for billions in foreign aid.
Just make sure I get my cut...........and their votes."
“college education courtesy of the American taxpayer..”
You do understand that they have to pay for it themselves, right?
Yeah and it’s HEAVILY subsidized by the American taxpayer and it violates the Equal Protection Clause and it’s not a program American kids can take advantage of, is it?
Yeah and it’s HEAVILY subsidized by the American taxpayer
Colleges in Texas are heavily subsidized by the Federal Government?
No, the in-state tuition program in any state is- by you and me the taxpayer.
“You do understand that they have to pay for it themselves, right?”
So, they don’t receive student loans from the fed? No federal grants of any kind? Dang, these are some rich students, these illegals.
Nooooo! Muuuust nooooot reeeead! Muuuust suuupoooort Perrrrry, the preeee-ordaaaaained ooooone! Heeeaaad explooooding!
LOL——aw, g’ahead...........read it.
Have you been living under a rock?
They have those in Ca.
I don’t know if Texas has them at all.
Seems like punching a crow bar in the side of those would be cheaper than a fence.
Umm... that is in Arizona.
