No mention of Obama-Holder "Fast and Furious" 2nd Amendment weakening ploy of supplying Mexican drug cartels with automatic weapons.

****** Aug 13, 2009: Texas gov. compares Gaza to Mexico”……We went to the border with Gaza and received a briefing from the army there, and we went to Sderot and saw the police station with all the Kassam rockets piled up, we saw playgrounds that had to be covered from rocket fire. It's a powerful place." In that vein, the governor said he was also interested in learning more about security aspects while in the country, as Texas has a large, porous border with Mexico, and the recent violence in that country had unnerved many Texans."....

Makes more sense than posting advisors to Libya

Rick Perry talking like a NeoCon.

Back in early Aug, Perry met with group of NeoCons,

Then, in two of the debates, he was talking like a Realist.

Now, he is back to talking like a NeoCon again.

Meanwhile, a top dog NeoCon, Bill Kristol, is promoting Christie and a top dog Realist, Henry Kissinger, is promoting Christie.

we should have continued all the way to ‘The Halls of Montezuma’ in 1916

Time for another Black Jack Pershing and a young Douglas MacArthur to invade Mexico and do the lousy Mexican government’s job for them.

(That is after we get a strong leader who will do this government’s job!)

Just to point out that "US troops to Mexico" isn't some new point of discussion ...

U.S. Military Doing 'Limited' Drug War Work In Mexico, Napolitano Says - NPR - March 24, 2010

"Yes. Let me be very, very clear (because) this is a very delicate subject. ... Our military in certain limited ways has been working with the Mexican military in their efforts against the drug cartels. But, it is at the request of the Mexican government, in consultation with the Mexican government. And it is only one part of our overall efforts with Mexico, which are primarily civilian in nature."

I agree with Perry. What is coming across our borders now is not your average happy go lucky migrant farmworker crossing to come work the harvests and then return home.

These are narco and mozlem terrorists, gangs, and criminals coming up through Mexico from Central America. It’s an invasion, not a migration. And stop the krap about a fence. A fence is not going to stop them. Hell is a fence around Israel stopping the blasted mozlems? NO, it isn’t. It has to be patrolled constantly with boots on the ground. And you are only talking about a 70-mile-at-most border in Israel. In Texas alone our border is 1200 miles long in a s-curve running all directions.

The BEST thing we can do is put several US military training bases along that border. What better way to train our soldiers than in those mountains in that wilderness, along that riverbed, and across that desert constantly patrolling it and hunting these bastards down. And stopping them from crossing.

This blithering about neo-cons, soft on immigration krap, and demonizing Perry just because some on here favor another candidate that doesn’t have as successful a record as Perry and can’t get elected on their own merit without tearing somebody his record down is pure Alynskite tactics just like the commiecrats use.

US troops on the border against illegal foreign nationals or others involved in criminal border activity, I believe is unconstitutional. However, if they deputized them as border patrol agents, would that be legal? I don’t know.
