[GRRRRR]

I just don’t effin’ get it...

We can go to the moon and the depths of the oceans but we can’t build a freakin’ fence on our Southern border?

We built two railroads by hand from the Mississippi to the Pacific Coast and drilled through mountains with pitchforks and dynamite and we can’t build a fence?

We can’t put 20,000 heavily armed Border Agents on the border? Night vision goggles, HumVees, Guard Towers with .50 cal machine guns?

We are the USA...all we need is a LEADER to say..GET IT DONE.

WTF ever happened to us???

A fence or physical barrier is just a force multiplier. Perry is an a$$hole.

EPA. Even a short stretch of double-fense in San Diego across the infamously named "Smuggler's Gulch" was blocked by years due to environmental regulation and lawsuits. Perry knows this. Perry also knows 1200 miles of the border is a giant river. If you can't patrol a river, you're doing it wrong. Perry's for a fence where useful but using dollars wisely because manpower and intelligence will still be needed and is far more cost effective.
