Send out his guard to the the job Feds won’t do.
Apparently, he thought he could do it, because after 2 months of
illegals flooding his border, he sent his guard out(unarmed)
after he stuck his finger in the wind to gauge public opinion.
If he he did it once, he can do it again, unless the first time was just a
photo-opt.
And only NOW he is proposing that funds be cut off to his Sanctuary cities.
Where has Perry been?
So to keep this on track, my question was in regards to securing the border only. tennmountainman suggested that Perry’s response was toothless and underwhelming.
Fine.
My question is what can a governor of a state do and who funds it?
If your answer is to send armed troops and detain/deport, etc., I’d suggest that’s outside the scope of his authority.
Perry DID do something...quite a lot of things. Cost us Texans in excess of $750,000,000, if my remembering is right.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not defending everything Perry’s done or not done. But I’m always a little disturbed when people say he/Texans should have secured the Texas border on his own.
I’d like to hear how folks think that should have been done.
