WOW. I knew it was rough but those pics get the point across better than 10,000+++++ words.

You know, what's amazing is all of us who already know that a full-blown fence...over 1200 miles long...would be an extravagant waste and ultimately futile, are STILL stunned when we drive the border or see images of it.

But there are folks on this site, fueled by some extreme bitterness and/or bile, having never been within 1000 miles of the border, that know that somehow, that is what we need to be doing.

Factor in the steps Perry and Texas have taken to attempt to control it on their own, with Texans' money and with little to no help from the Feds.

Looked at it from that perspective, it amplifies his position that there is no one in the race currently with his experience dealing with this problem.

And if people would actually LOOK at it, they'd see how "pie-in-the-sky" some of the other candidates' positions are on the issue.

Quite a few years back when I was young, my family and I vacationed in the area where a number of these pics were taken.

Thank the good Lord for National and State Park facilities, but you talk about remote, harsh, no-man’s land as far as the eye can see.

After awhile you think you must be dreaming, what you’re seeing can’t be real.
