Your homepage does not say where you are from. You are aware that the border between Texas and Mexico is a river aren’t you? A fence on our side would end Texans use of the river but would not stop the illegals climbing over it. Surely you have seen the night vision videos of the illegal climbers.

Texas cattle drink from that river and the native game animals do the same. A fence does not make sense in most places there. Perry is not in favor of illegal immigration, it is stupid to suggest that he is. He has spent millions of Texas taxpayer dollars on the border and has asked for fed help which was ignored.

All that has been posted here many times in recent weeks. It's always good to state that the border is the US/Mexico border and not the Texas/Mexico border.

And I expect most of the water problems that double fencing might cause could be solved. But it is pretty amazing to see one person after another - presumably with a straight face - post as if allowing the cattle on the border direct access to the river is more important than border security and national security for a nation of 300+ million.

If this nation is still capable of exercising one lick of common sense, water for cattle and the free movement of animals will some day become a distant second to securing the southern border against all the problems that cross it with little to complicate the illegal crossings. Such posts illustrate better than anything else could why we do not need another Texan in the White House.
