Perry’s office has said the Guard will largely play a role of “deter and refer” – deter border crime by their visible presence along the border and refer illegal acts, including border crossings, to law enforcement. They don’t plan to apprehend illegal immigrants, though, technically, they could, said Texas Adjutant General John Nichols.

Just as I thought.

Another empty, symbolic PR stunt by Perry.

The man is worthless where Illegal Immigration is concerned, but he sure wants you to think he is doing something, when he isn't.

I’m gonna disagree with you, socon. We rarely do. But the ‘deter and refer’ isn’t just to Border Patrol. It’s also to Texas Security/Rangers/etc., so the refer part will come with weeding out the criminals. This is a good thing, and Perry should get credit for it.

In addition, his state will pay close to a fifth of a billion per year for every 1000 troops they deploy. They no small amount to come unplanned out of any state’s budget...even one of the largest.

I think Perry deserves credit.
