Speaking this morning to the Texas Municipal Police Association in Austin, Gov. Rick Perry returned to one of his favorite subjects over the last few years, saying the Obama administration has inappropriately handled security issues on the Texas-Mexico border.
Perry, who told the Des Moines Register in recent days that God may be calling him to run for president, has long said Washington has not deployed enough manpower to the Texas-Mexico border. He repeated that criticism this morning, saying he wants 3,000 Border Patrol agents along the border in Texas and 1,000 troops from the National Guard. He said the administrations decision to send 286 troops last year was grossly inadequate.
The federal government continues to turn a blind eye to this problem, Perry said.
Last August, when President Barack Obama came to Austin for a fundraiser, Perry met him at the airport and tried to hand him a letter asking for National Guard troops. (He gave the letter to an Obama aide.) Perry later bragged in a re-election commercial that he had confronted Obama, showing footage of their brief encounter.
Last year, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano sent Perry a letter saying the Border Patrol was better staffed than at any time in its history, having increased from about 10,000 agents in 2004 to more than 20,000 in 2010.

You didn’t address the issue.
“The question is: Are they paying to get people into government who will keep government off their backs, or are they paying to grow government?”
With my long post, I explained the obvious to you, but you want to smear Rick Perry.
Do you have a candidate you’d support for the GOP primary?
I guess I should listen to an anonymous poster on FR for facts?
I’m not anonymous. My real name is on my homepage.
But the question isn’t about me, it’s about the leftwing nonsense spouted by Mr. Giuliani, Rick Perry’s 2008 choice for the highest office in the land.
As Rick Perry’s numero uno supporter on FR, are you lending credence to what Rudy said?
About WHAT!?
If I did I would not be posting about them over and over and over........
So who is your candidate Mr. Independent?
About what you posted concerning Giuliani. It read like you were agreeing with him. I continue to ask if you do or not.
See.....you’re a troll.

Nope. Just a Texan who has followed politics for many years.

You're kind of wimpy about not telling us who you like for the GOP run. But that's okay. Says a lot about how you blast others w/o saying who you'd support. But that's okay. It's not like you're trying to hide anything.
And Rudy Giuliani IS VERY CONSERVATIVE ON NATIONAL SECURITY!!! And Rudy Giuliani was elected to be mayor of NYC and he cleaned it up. Now it's going to hell again.
Andrea Tantaros & Bob Beckel discuss Rick Perry & Rudy Giuliani Giuliani: Says, the Republican Party will be much more successful if we get the heck out of peoples bedrooms let these things get decided by states and stick to our economic conservative roots.

You are projecting, Rick.
Why do you care?
Not that clear, no. But since you posted it again, verbatim, I can only assume you agree with Giuliani.
I've heard his endorsement of Rudy.
Have you?
So you DON't have a problem with illegals being in Texas and going to public-supported Texas schools???
Just wow!
Don't have one. Been waiting to see if the GOP will do what they usually do or not.
With the touting of Giuliani Republicans like Rick Perry, it's quickly becoming apparent that the formerly grand old party has learned little or nothing.
Yeah, well you know what happens when you assume.
Well, why don’t you just be clear? Then I won’t have to assume.
