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.
I think Perry would be the most pro-active and passionate on the energy issue which is huge for the U.S.
“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.”
Bovine scat. Our Constitution is quite clear about this problem. We protect our borders. The Mexican government “can’t handle the problem” because they are the problem. They’re corrupt. Until the citizens are serious about their corrupt officials they’ll continue to live in fear, abuse, and poverty.
