"I had to come 1,200 miles to find a governor who believes in a simple principle called the rule of law," Gilchrist said at the Crescent Hotel. "I'm here to encourage all you Texans to stand your ground and get out there and vote for this governor."
Gilchrist later added that "Perry has a clear record of decisive action to secure our borders, stop illegal drug and human trafficking trade and is very clearly the right choice for voters in Texas to fight illegal immigration."
In accepting the endorsement, Perry blasted the federal government's effort to secure that nation's borders.
"Washington's record on border security has been one of indifference, of neglect and failure," Perry said. "That's why Texas has been stepping up with resources to fill the gap left by Washington."
Perry said the state, over the last two legislative sessions, has pumped in over $225 million for border security.
"We're not going to rest in Texas until that border is completely secure," Perry said.

What “open borders policies?”
When we were in France in 2002, I had a hard time practicing my French because so many people wanted to practice their English.
1/3 of our legal population is of “hispanic” origin. (If you want a fight - go to a Latino/Hispanic Republican or tea party meeting and demand that they pick one.)
From what I’ve seen, Indians and Pakistanis are helping fellow countrymen open hotels and corner stores all over Texas. Met several very nice business men and women in Sherman, Texas in the last few months.
In Orlando last month, all the taxi drivers were Christians from Haiti.
Seriously: “these people?”
Perry doesn’t have open border policies. It is Obama that has the open border and it is his responsibility to fix it, but he won’t. If you live in TX, then you know that TX catches them and Ice turns them loose.
I do not see the same thing as you do. Oh wait, you support Ron Paul I bet or Romney. Figures.
What a bunch of garbage! Smears and lies. You are either a Ron Paul, Romney or Bachmann supporter since those are usually the worst with outright lies. If you are going to post stuff like this put quotes and links. Oh course you can’t because aren’t any.
“I do not see the same thing as you do. Oh wait, you support Ron Paul I bet or Romney. Figures.”
That’s fine, but please read my tag line, I said that I support CONSERVATIVES, not Perry. And Romney is NOT a conservative, and Paul is a psycho.
“Perry doesn’t have open border policies. It is Obama that has the open border and it is his responsibility to fix it, but he won’t. If you live in TX, then you know that TX catches them and Ice turns them loose.”
You mean that that Texas STUMBLES on them, and then turns them over to ICE. We’ll need an Alabama law to if we want to actually start looking for and catching them, but that is HEARTLESS...I guess.
“1/3 of our legal population is of “hispanic” origin.”
You need to learn fractions...
Anyway, if you’re for open borders, that’s cool, then Perry is DEFINITELY your man.
As for myself, I have kids, so I’d rather not have this country turn into a cesspool.
“Yeah, we can’t have them open border types like him and Gilchrist and those Minutemen /s.”
I already PROVED that Gilchrist is either a LIAR or terribly misinformed. He may be your guru, but he sure as hell is not mine.
“-— and you’ve been in Texas how long?
According to some survey I heard back in the 80’s by the 3rd generation the descendants of “wetbacks” no longer speak Spanish.
One exception I can think of is a second generation that got a PHD in education and was the Superintendent of Schools for San Antonio for many years.
Point being. Anybody that bitches about Spanish is some Yankee that showed with a U-Haul.”
So, according to you, people that come here legally know a decent amount of English, even if they’re “wetbacks” as you call them. So my question is: WHY THE HELL DO WE NEED EVERYTHING BILINGUAL HERE?
“His RECORD is protecting the BORDER. The problems that we have is the direct result of the policies of the WH, DOJ and HLS. and you know that...But Perry supporters are not going to sit by and let misinformation to be spread without challenging it.”
LOL. His record here in Texas is CODDLING ILLEGALS (Dream Act, no E-Verify, no Sanctuary City law, and the Fence is a “Stupid Idea”) and calling people HEARTLESS who have a problem with that. That may be fine for you guys, but I have a BIG PROBLEM with that.
