And Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Germany, Bosnia,
South Korea ARE?

OUR troops need to be on OUR border.

MX is fighting the Cartels, that is driving them NORTH, not to mention the people making a run for the border to get out of the line of fire.

SHEESH

MEXICO IS OUR PROBLEM.

And MAYBE it’s time for AMERICAN DRUGGIES to be ostracized for endangering National Security. But hey REHAB is BIG BUSINESS.

Think “illegal immigration and student tuition”. It’s a play on words.

Gov. Perry was in good form last night. He displayed a calm confidence that is a hallmark of effective leadership.

He’s hitting his stride and he’ll be a major factor from here on out, IMO. Gig ‘Em Rick!!!

Stop eating the red herring, marty.

Two different fruits.

I had no idea we were reorganizing and revamping the Afghani, Iragi, Egyptian, Libyan, German, Bosnian, and S. Korean government’s. Imagine that.

PERRY PONTIFICATES ON HIS BORDER POSITION: “Boots on the groud, air reconaissance.......can make that country (Mexico) substantially more secure and our border secure.....”

The US? Make Mexico more secure? That’s not our problem, or our friggin job. Pick a lane, Perry.

==========================================

It's way past time for vote-crazed politicans like Perry to come clean and acknowledge what we all know-----illegals violate our borders for one reason----to pocket all the US benefits they can get their greedy hands on, and to become a "voting bloc" to pressure pols for foreign aid and other give aways to their homelands.

Perry has NEVER questioned their loyalties........and the threat this poses to US ntl security.

==============================================

WHAT IS THE MERIDA INITIATIVE? Another tax-financed flop.

The US Congress gave Mexico millions of dollars to "help fight the war on drugs."

“If two neighboring countries can work in conjunction...”

The key word here is “If”. “If” can only happen when two governments are first capable of working other. Mexico’s entire infrastructure is corrupt. It’s flawed. You can’t work with a flawed and corrupt system, casinva. It doesn’t work.

org.whodat,

Either you are a lunatic or didn’t even look to see who “the poster” was if you EVER thought I have supported or even WOULD support amnesty. I have NEVER, NEVER EVER written about amnesty nor have I ever supported amnesty, nor have I ever supported anyone who supports amnesty. I am for border security. I am for border protection. I am for homeland security. I am for proper and legal immigration procedures.

Quite frankly, I started laughing when I saw what you posted. It really did look pretty brainless on you personally, and the more we get to see your ignorant behavior, the more we all know just HOW ignorant you are.

If you failed to read our Constitution, or the Founding Fathers writings, here’s a little refresher: We protect and secure our borders. International border?

Well perhaps there is a moron in the room that doesn't realize the Constitution lists that as the federal government's job.

"What?", you say... You didn't know that? Well then, what more can I say?

Don’t forget how much more dangerous our current administration made our borders with their Gun running/ fast and furious horror!

Those of us living in TX are in a lot more danger from the drug cartels now. Since the present administration actually armed a lot of these goons, we are certainly living in a very dangerous world these days.

And no—regardless of what you may have heard, GWB did not “do the same thing”.

I never leave my house unarmed. today.................

Hey, what a concept. Offer criminals and lawbreakers an education at a great rate. What a concept! But wait!, there’s more. Not only will your illegal be able to pursue a higher education, but they’ll be able to worm their way into becoming LEGAL citizens as well.

America. The gift that keeps on giving....at tax payer expense

Last night’s debate showed Perry not only has the facts but that he also has a very sensible understanding of what to do with those facts. He was able to provide light on what to do and why, and he articulated ways to mobilize our country so that our protection would be first and foremost considered. Some wimpier people may not be comfortable that Perry IS focusing on America’s best interest as he is to the extent that he is not pandering to other countries, but the last strong leader I saw with that kind of commitment to being strong and sticking with principles was Ronald Reagan, and he served us quite well in that capacity.

Hey org, you think Perry called you heartless. Well, maybe you are, I don’t know.

I do know this, you’re definitely thoughtless, often clueless, and mostly mindless.

Back up your statement!!! Post back to me a verifiable, credible source. I know you can't because Governor Perry NEVER called you heartless. Now Newt did but not Perry.

GREAT TAKE--DESERVES A REPEAT: Newt is looking awful on illegal immigration....he gave the standard inside the Beltway BS on illegals at the debate. Washington DC loves illegals b/c they work for low pay for the DC govt gangsters who are sucking this country dry.

DC insiders laugh when we peasants b***tch about open borders. It’s all a big joke.... for DC people, life is always good with no recessions ever, where insider trading and earmarks makes them all rich.

Perry now looks like a xenophobe next to Speaker Newt....
