It the Rio Grande. You can't fence it and there are several really big lakes on the border and if we fence it on our side we will be giving US waters, that Texans (Americans) make their livings off of, to Mexico. Besides, what good is a fence that isn't manned? The response to that is always, "we can fence strategic areas" which is true and is Perry's position too. Perry wants to kill the Narco-Terrorist and corrupt Mexican military that is actually in control of the US/Mexican Border and turn the electronic fronteer (that Obama turned off) back on and then station troops (with the orders to return fire and defend US sovereignty) and increase the Border Patrol and fix the USCIS so they work for the country instead of the illegals.
Can’t they give you some new talking points?

No, actually, there is a solution to getting water on the other side of a fence (and it works for my house)...

Who the hell is saying that will shut down the Border Patrol once the fence is completed? Actually a fence is a FORCE MULTIPLIER, as someone once explained here, in that it makes it much harder and time consuming for the illegals to get here.
But in the end, don’t you feel silly having to defend Perry and his Open-Borders crusade?
