Perry has taken action on the border, and you know damn well he is on record demanding action from the FEDs.
You don’t remember Perry personally trying to hand those demands to Obama?
Obama rebuffed him and made Perry give the letter to Valerie Jarett.
It’s all on film.
Meanwhile, other states are taking their own sovereignty & security into their own hands.

You are willfully ignorant on the matter.
This costly, violent invasion in Texas is now totally out of control.
Perry has been Texas governor for almost 12 years.
Where is all the video over the years, of an angry Perry demanding relief from the Federal Government for Texas citizens, before he started running for POTUS?
Given the circumstance and facts, locating quotes and videos of Perry over the past 10 years should be easy. Lets see Perry making these angry demands of the feds, prior to Perry announcing his run for POTUS.
Late 2010: Gov. Rick Perry, who had hoped to deliver a four-page letter pleading for more help from the feds on border security.
That's it??
Yet, the illegals still pour into Texas, with wonderful incentives like instate tuition breaks (including state aid). With no punishment for Perry's ag buddies, its no wonder they flock to Texas.
What has your boy done?
A Perrykrishna calling any freeper ignorant on border security and illegal immigration is the height of hypocrisy.
Of course, I'm heartless, so...
Again, You prove that you are willfully ignorant on the matter.

You answer a question with a question?
What does who I might vote for, have to do with the legitimate question regarding Perry?
Okay, I looked again.
Noooope...
Sheriff Joe endorsing Rick Perry doesn’t make Rick Perry better, it makes Sheriff Joe worse.
As a compassionate state, we know that for our children to succeed, they must not only be healthy, but educated. The future leaders of our two nations are learning their fractions and their ABC’s in classrooms all along this border. Immigrants from around the world are being taught in Texas classrooms, and our history is rich with examples of new citizens who have made great contributions. We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.” And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers. That’s why Texas took the national lead in allowing such deserving young minds to attend a Texas college at a resident rate. Those young minds are a part of a new generation of leaders, the doors of higher education must be open to them. The message is simple: educacion es el futuro, y si se puede.
We also know that poverty is not unique to either side of the border. Some of Texas’ poorest citizens live in colonias all along the border. They often lack basic infrastructure many of us take for granted. Just today, the North American Development Bank announced it will provide $6.3 million in funding to hook up colonia residents in six border cities to water and wastewater lines. More than 18,000 residents will benefit from these water or wastewater hookups. And this November, by approving Proposition 2, Texas voters can ensure that their neighbors in colonias have quality roads so that school buses, emergency vehicles and postal trucks can reach residents, and residents can get to a job or a school reliably.
President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity. It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease, and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity. Clearly we have a long way to go in addressing those issues. At the same time we must continue to deepen our economic ties, expanding opportunities for Mexican and U.S. companies to do business on both sides of the border. The outlook is promising, even if the road to prosperity is a long one. We share a bond as neighbors, and we find our culture north of the Rio Grande to be increasingly defined by the strong traits of people of Hispanic descent. Texas has long enjoyed a unique identity, an identity forged by an independent spirit, and the convergence of many different peoples. We must welcome change in the 21st Century as we have in every century before it.
Oh remember... it’s the feds problem- unless it’s instate tuition for illegals, then it’s states’ rights. LOL.
Blah blah blah...
