"- How much money has Cain put to protect the border?
- What has Cain done to secure the border?"

Are you saying that Rick Perry is so inept that he needs someone else to secure the border for him?

I’m saying that Perry is being blamed for illegals when the blame should be on Obama and the Federal Government.

It is not Perry, Texas nor Texan’s job to secure the international border for the entire United States.

Yet, Perry put Texas National Guard, Texas Rangers and Texas TXDOT Officers on the border and spent 400 million Texas Taxpayer’s money to secure it.

I used Cain as an example. It is not Perry’s fault the illegals are overrunning our country any more than it is Cain’s fault.

Perry is not inept at all. He has dealt with Obama for 3 years trying to get him to put more Guard on the border and spend more US Money to secure it which is Obama and the Federal Governments job to do.

Obama sends troops to other countries to protect their borders and runs guns to the cartel on Texas/Mexico border leaving our border control agents in danger and got one agent killed.

Perry knows better than anyone what needs to be done on that border to get the violence under control and secure it.

Now I understand that some of you have never READ the Constitution, so it's understrandable that you think a governor is supposed to protect the borders. If you are going to post at a site like this you really should at least attempt to read and understand our founding document. It's only about 14 pages long and was written so the average citizen at the time, who were basically uneducated, could understand so there is no reason you shouldn't be able to digest the seperation of powers and the powers delegated to the federal government and to the states.

The Governor has worked for nearly 11 years within the arbitrary, inconsistent parameters the Feds have allowed the States to work within.

He has values and has proven it by nearly 11 years as Governor.

Find a candidate to be positive about, stop your negativity.
