Spoke with a relative who works for the Texas Highway Patrol. Perry has all Hwy Patrol officers doing 2 week patrols on the border.
My relative told me he turned in 18 illegals to the Border Patrol. That is one lone officer and he is paid by Texas tax dollars, not Federal Tax dollars.
I take the words of Sheriff Joe and my 15 year vet relative to anonymous spammers and keyboard warriors on Free Republic.
I like Sheriff Joe even though he endorsed Romney last election. His endorsement will not change nothing over the fact of illegal loving Perry. Token political moves aside, he did not enforce immigration laws or work to close the border.
