As we’ve seen they dig under fences, they tunnel under towns, they climb over the fences, they drive across in cars and trucks, they fly over the fences.....
Please listen to the audio file I linked in Post #21 and think about what Perry says.
And the Texas border with Mexico is longer than the fence Israel built — a LOT longer.
Using that logic, we should remove all walls around jails, as prisoners dig under the walls from time to time. Like I said, a fence by itself is not a solution, but it is an integral part of security in depth.

I will, but I fully expect it to be a different wrapper on the same old crapola.

So that means we need to get busy building it instead of stalling it. Texas does have an advantage over NM, AZ and California - it does have a natural moat along the border, i.e. the Rio Grande. So the objections of tunneling and driving past a fence are countered in the case of Texas - you can't just drive over the Rio Grande to get the truck carrying ladders to the fence. Try swimming the Rio Grande with a 30 foot aluminum ladder.
That is what I am talking about - objections such as yours fall apart once logic is applied to them. I get sick of that kind of idiocy. Just call Perry's stance here what it is - pandering - and go to the next issue.
