Here in Fairfax County Virginia we regularly mark dangerous lakes, etc. with signs in 16 languages.

There was a drowning at Burke Lake some years back and the family weren't able to read any of the 16.

Stuff happens no matter how careful you are.

>> the lack of political experience is going to do him in

I think he’s indifferent to Political Correctness. But he still needs to understand the cost of being cavalier.

“If he really said this then his rise is over.”

So, it’s open borders, no fence, no border patrol, with signs that say, ‘Come one, come all’...that’s what you want, eh? Maybe you need a candidate like O’Rom-Perry...more to your liking?

You have not been listening to what Perry has been saying or what he has been doing for the past several years. However, if the Feds don’t do their responsibility, then it is pretty much wasted effort.

He is telling a half truth.

Basically Perry said He could see an open border if Mexico would clean up its act and become law abiding.

“Lets do it on YOUR LAND WITH YOUR MONEY”

Well, since I’m already paying their healthcare, ‘education’, and who knows what other services that they can get here in Texas, since we don’t ask immigration status...I’m game for paying for the fence, and yea, they can have my house and land (in Houston) if they want it (for whatever reason). I’ll just buy another.

I still haven’t heard anyone explain how you can build a fence on the Rio Grande River.

You really can't be that stupid?

Exactly so, but facts be damned! We got us a catch phrase!

That is where being a pizza salesman has it's advantages. People will eat anything, even a cardboard pizza, if you yell, "9.99!"

Perry should have just said:

"I favor The Israeli Strategy".

No, it's a game ender for the people who want sub-minimum wage employees with no rights. And you'd better believe you have no rights when your boss can threaten to turn you into ICE.

Now you can pretend that the slave wage employers are simply helping people to have a better life but many of us think they are engaged in predatory practices that should be subject to capital punishment.

So far I haven't seen any of you people on the other side propose any sort of compromise ~ like maybe executing only every other illegal employer, or simply sending them abroad themselves to Uganda perhaps to work as free labor on a vegetable farm.

Have you contacted your congressman?
Did he vote for the in state tuition thing?

All but 4 in the state did, and that made the law veto proof.

“You know it is a legal obstacle to placing federal troops on the border.”

I didn’t realize that we aren’t permitted to defend ourselves against foreign invasion. Link please.

That river is Texas’ backyard. This land does not belong to the government. Private property rights, the right not to have government take property is one reason for the Declaration of Independence.

and our children live here. What an impractical idea,ridiculous

As to Sanctuary cities, The Gov has nothing to do with those.
They are created by rogue mayors.

I'm glad you finally saw the light. I'm a life long conservative and proud to have been stood with Ronald Reagan in 76, 80 and 84.

Stop the phony indignation, however. You've been a member of FR for 4 days. I've been here for 12 years and its a fact, FR is a Romney free zone, you clown. In my book Romney is the enemy. And if you want to electrify the border fence, you're an IDIOT!

Reagan's mistake wasn't pulling out of Lebanon. It was going in in the first place. And if Ted Kennedy hadn't gutted 2 of the 3 provisions of the IRCA of 1986, Reagan's plan to secure the borders and hold employers accountable with up to a million dollar fine would have worked and would ahve STOPPED most illegal border crossings in their tracks.

“Who is going to drag a baby across the desert and hang them on a fence, their caring parents,

drug cartels”

And we should let them in because of that. You’re so ‘heartful’.
