Border security is a FEDERAL responsibility. To my knowledge Rick Perry is not president... yet.
He did more than most governors to secure the border, despite Federal inaction.

Yes - the federal government failure to meet its responsibility is the problem. That is why there is so much concern about what the candidates would do to correct that problem if elected president.
We both know that what has people upset with Perry is not his efforts to secure the border as Governor.
It is his defense of the state "Dream Act" and his firmly stated opposition to construction of a physical border fence that turns potential supporters off.
He made things worse by playing the "heartless" card at the last debate. We hear more than enough of that kind of guilt trip nonsense from democrats.
Utterly irrelevant. The Feds not holding their end of the deal is not a reason to ring the dinner bell for more illegals to come stampeding to his state.
No sale.
