This is no place for a fence, unless you build it on the Mexican side of the border and are willing to go to war over it.
Rick Perry said we cannot build a border fence and it was stupid. So how is he planning on sealing the border.

Where are you going to build this fence on the Texas border? You gonna build it in the middle of the Rio Grande? On the Mexican side? Where?
Rick Perry says fences work in urban areas but that a 1200 mile Texas-Mexico wall, and then a wall 800 more miles to San Diego will not work as advertized (terrain, length, not secure unless completely monitored). He wants drones for Intel and boots on the ground.
Beyond that, the Feds do nothing of consequence when they overstay if here legally, or picked up and found to be illegal -- the Feds really, actively assist them in avoiding return. A wall is just a bandaid. In truth it will solve nothing. Perry has studied using drones in Israel -- they use walls too (as Perry says do work in urban areas but Israel security relies on drones).
There are better ways to stop this flow of people. Including, as Perry has said, "a conservative ascendancy." Get rid of the draw -- the "social justice" programs without throwing Hispanics into the Democratic Party.
But Perry is not for amnesty and has said that the border MUST BE SEALED before anything else can come to the table. He's seen how the trick of allowing citizenship is followed by an unguarded border - time and time again. So he will not "play" that game again.
TROOPS. Ofcourse Obama is working up to a WAR with Pakistan.
so there sits our troops SURROUNDED by Iran and Pakistan in Land Locked Afganistan.
all the while the Islamofascist are sending terrorist across the border. someone yesterday said pulling troops out of the area was stupid because we are suppose to stop them there.
EPIC FAIL
Bring the troops home and protect the United States.
