“....it has helped make other states more secure.”

And how many illegals are living in Texas, let alone those who traveled over your borders and into other states?

Perry’s been your governor for how long, and now he really wants to erect a fence and secure the border? One would think that with a history of these problems and the thread to our national security, he would have earnestly tackled the border issue years ago, or am I being “heartless”?

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?

Governor Rick Perry never called you heartless...you might need to go back and check your facts a bit closer.

Newt is for amnesty and in June 2011 Debate Newt Gingrich called Americans Heartless for wanting to deport 20 million illegals.

"GINGRICH: No, but let me say this, John. No serious citizen who's concerned about solving this problem should get trapped into a yes/no answer in which you're either for totally selling out protecting America or you're for totally kicking out 20 million people in a heartless way. There are -- there are humane, practical steps to solve this problem, if we can get the politicians and the news media to just deal with it honestly."

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?

Not heartless. Brainless maybe. It’s up to the federal government to secure the border. Rick has tried with the resources he has with no help from the Bumster.

The feds are fighting tooth and nail about doing anything about illegal immigration. I don’t think they want to stop it. Perry does.
