Constructing and maintaining a USA/Mexican border fence/system of fortifications/etc. could be the public works program of the 21st Century. Sounds like a win-win to me.

2007: [excerpt] “If you show up illegally, without your card or you’re here as a criminal element, I’m for throwing the book at those folks, but the issue of people who want to legally, thoughtfully and appropriately come to America to work and help us build our economy — we should quickly come up with a program and an identification card to do that.” [end excerpt] Source

"......When Obama continued to refuse even five minutes for the Governor, Perry took matters into this own hands and was standing on the tarmac at Austin’s airport when President Obama stepped off of Air Force One. Obama looked confused, Perry looked determined. Obama still ignored the pleas for help.

Perry again took matters into his own hands, and established an elite unit of Texas Rangers to bolster border security..." Source

Yep. Electrified, guard towers every 200 yards with weapons mounts.

No, I'm not kidding.

It is. The Open Border suck-ups and the Perrista libs like to to say things like "Call for border fence exposes lack of knowledge" only because they feel they have no choice in order to try and make their candidate look informed or somehow more knowledgeable than he really is.

They say things like this because they are coming at this from a position of weakness on the issue and they also know the majority of Americans either currently support the notion of a physical barrier or will likely come around as more information comes to light on the subject. The Perrista's are getting more desperate with the release of each new national tracking poll released showing Perry becoming less relevant each day now. Seal the damned border NOW.

Exactly that’s how to do it.
We already have a pattern. A sample of how to do the fence. Just copy what the Israelis have done. Its 95-99% effective.
Let those in jai learn how to dig with shovels, pour concrete and install fencing.
