If we are not allowed to use the military to protect our borders then what “boots” on the ground are Perry talking about?
More Border patrol and to some extent National Guard, although there are issues with using national guard that led to legal challenges and generally reduce them to not being armed.
We could use Homeland security, but I am Leary of expanding their powers or sphere.
I don’t think that Dept should even have been created.
Perry has done a good job of increasing border security with Texans money despite all the legal issues with the Feds
