“All of those together can make that country (Mexico) substantially more secure and our border secure”
Mexico more secure? That’s not our problem, or friggin job.
Pick a lane, Perry.
If two neighboring countries can work in conjunction to secure the adjoining border area which would help keep criminals and drug cartels from spilling over into the southern parts of The United States, that is nothing but a win for America.
It is the Feds responsibility first and foremost. So why is it the Fed loves the influx of illegals? IF I were to make a guess, it is to make America like all of the third world countries, whose people are easily controlled.
It IS our problem. Mexico is teetering right now. Why do think so many Mexicans come here? Because of all the hugs and kisses? If Mexico fails that border will be completely over run. A stable and prosperous Mexico is definately in our best interest.
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.
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."
The war in Mexico is a civil war. It has been for quite a while now and everyone in Texas knows that. The Mexican government can’t handle the problem and to keep it from spilling over into the US, we will almost certainly need to send troops into Mexico with or without the good wishes of the Mexican government.
If, or more likely, when we do, we would be well advised to teach the cartels the meaning of “World Class Military Power” and smash them fast and hard. Perry understands this, his people are on the front lines.
We just had a Zeta operation in north Houston last night. It is now time to begin to assess the military options and begin putting assets in place. Again, Perry gets this.
Every one of the other candidates are spouting nothing more than slogans and sound bites. Perry is having to live with it and manage it, in the absence of the federal government, as best he can.
I support Perry and I think he would make a terrific President. He is very familiar with the problem with the border and I feel he can be trusted to shut down the illegal immigration in the twelve months that he stated.
He also understands that the key to a growing economy is cheap energy. In other words, drilling. Lots of it.
