Perry doesn’t have all the resouces, it is a job for the Feds. Perry asked for National Guard Troops from Obama, who wouldn’t even take Perry’s letter and refused to have a meeting with him on the subject.
Perry had done and is doing more to secure the border than any of the other governors of border states, and certainly more than the clueless other GOP candidates, who speak in slogans, without knowing what it really takes to secure the border.
