Dear Governor Perry: Simple solution - put armed troops shoulder to shoulder on the U.S. side of the entire border between Mexico and Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California while a ginormous solid wall is being built the entire length. Seal all the tunnels. Search everything going to and from. Refuse entry to illegals, confiscate and destroy drugs and guns coming in and guns going out. Put a few select CEO’s who hire illegals in prison as an example to all.
Great post, Grams. But Perry is of a liberal mindset so he’s not likely to do any of that. In fact I’d bet on it.
We only need them close enough to monitor the border better and to respond in minutes, not hours.
This is not the fault of the few agents and National Guardsmen that we have covering 1200 miles. They should have more troops, and move via helicopters, not SUV’s. The wall is redundant alongside the river, or would be if the patrols were more effective and response time were faster.
