Do you think the border states are responsible to secure the US border?
Answer: State and local governments. This is the basis for the states fighting Obama's executive amnesty. They are bearing most of the costs of amnesty. Of course, Perry has no problem with in-state tuition for the lawbreakers.
You’re right...your arguments are right.
I’ve tried to make the same points over and over....but, deaf ears, you know.
1. It’s not the states’ job;
2. They have no authority to deport;
3. They can’t shoot ‘em;
4. Perry and the bunch spent a bunch of Texans’ tax money on the effort;
5. Name anyone else in the race that has DONE something about the border;
6. What other states’ population has or is doing anything about the southern border of Texas?
7. If the answer to 6 is that it’s not their border, I beg to differ. It’s a federal border. And if it’s not “their border”, why are the griping about what’s being done or not being done there
8. And there’s some knuckleheads who STILL can’t get their facts straight, suggesting they don’t want to or have some other motivation for their fallacious claims.
Perry’s not perfect. But I’m trying to think of who else has 14 years of governing to scrutinize. Anyone else in the race who’s had to DO the job as long as Perry has. In most cases, we’re left with what they want to SAY they’ll do. In relation to the border, who else is running that’s ever had to actually deal with it?
And I wonder, cumulative, how much time they’ve ever spent on the border.
I like Cruz. I’m highly suspicious of Trump. And I like Perry.
Main reason for this post is to rant a bit about the unrealistic expectations it seems some have of Texas/Perry for “securing” the border.
