I guess my question points back to Rick Perry’s contention that building a double-wide, electric fence along the border is not cost effective.

Now, I will grant you this other point not raise. That over time, troops and drones are going to be a hefty monthly recurring expense, and will probably ecllipse a one time capital investment of a fence.

The next question on those points will be that even if you built the fence, would you still have the hefty monthly recurring expense of troops and drones still to protect the fence?

So, my conclusion is that Perry’s idea is the right direction and most cost-efficient.

Most authoritative sources state that the cost of educating and medicating illegals in my state equals it's 30 billion dollar annual deficit. Thats alot of drones.

But my point is regarding the issue in principle - once you make any accommodation for illegals as a practical matter, you've lost the war - its only a matter of time.
