The comment sent shock waves through a Texas grassroots discussion thread on Facebook this morning of activists who are seeking a special session call from the Governor to deal with the issue of border security.

In the video, Governor Perry tells the hosts of Fox and Friends, “We don’t have the resources, nor the manpower to be able to do that (secure the border) for the 1,200 miles. If we did, we would.”

Then, how about enlisting the county sheriffs and deputizing citizens?

Is this, or is this not, an emergency, Governor?

Why don't you at least TRY???

Secure half of it. Secure a third of it. Enlist volunteers. DO SOMETHING!

Hell, give everyone in Mexico who doesn't come to America a $100 for staying home. I'm pretty damn sure that would end up being cheaper for us.

We don’t have the resources,...”

This is just a bunch of BS. Texas has the money to get it done. They chose to increase the funding to public schools this last term instead. If they would just cut the funding for all the ESL classes and teachers there would be money to build a fence. If nothing else, just close the border crossings down. But he chooses to do nothing at all. Big business and all the local chamber of commerce groups own too many Texas politicians. And having someone like illegal loving Cornyn as one of our senators certainly doesn’t help.
