You seemed to be saying that Perry, a governor of a State, was supposed to take on the federal role of securing the USA border.
Personally, as a Texas taxpayer, I call BS. Not our job.
And it's not like Perry hasn't repeatedly hammered on the Feds over the past few years to do their part in securing the border. Most of his requests have been largely ignored by the scum in Washington.
But I don't bother trying to discuss these things with the New York Times/Washington Post/CNN/MSNBC contingent on here. They've made up their minds what they want to "know" and I don't see them deciding to be objective anytime soon.
Now, that’s flat out bizarre. Nothing I wrote got even close to saying that. You might want to go back and read what I actually wrote.
