Rick Perry Tells New Hampshire Audience He’s Against a Border Fence
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, September 3, 2011, 4:31 PM
This won’t go over well with the conservative base.
Governor Rick Perry told a New Hampshire audience that he does not favor a fence along the Mexican border.
It’s not the first time that Perry has spoken out against a border fence. He suggested in 2009 that drones fly above the border to detect illegals crossing into the country.
The AP reported, via Free Republic:
He may have been 2,000 miles from the border, but Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry’s immigration record in Texas quickly became the focus in New Hampshire Saturday afternoon.
Speaking to hundreds of Granite State voters at a private reception, the Texas governor was asked whether he supported a fence along the Mexican border.
“No, I don’t support a fence on the border,” he said. “The fact is, it’s 1,200 miles from Brownsville to El Paso. Two things: How long you think it would take to build that? And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”
The answer produced an angry shout from at least one audience member. And it exposed an ongoing rift with some conservative voters over Perry’s immigration record.
Tea party activists in Texas have been particularly upset by his steady opposition to the fence. He also signed a law giving illegal immigrants in-state tuition for Texas universities. And Texas tea party groups sent Perry an open letter this year expressing disappointment over his failure to get a bill passed that would have outlawed “sanctuary cities,” municipalities that protect illegal immigrants.
Perry has surged to the lead in national polls since joining the presidential race just three weeks ago. But New Hampshire Republicans are just getting to know him.

I’m alright with his explanation. He explained this on the Mark Levin Show, and if there are other ways to accomplish the same thing, I’m ok with it.
jainphx commented:
He’s is showing me a side I didn’t know of. I’m very concerned when he makes statements that sound like Janet Napolitano. I will wait and see! I still back Palin, who made just a fabulous speech today in Iowa. I stood up and cheered at most of it. Run Sarah run.
dwd commented:
Opposing a fence, granting illegals in-state tuition… he’s going to have to say what his plan for dealing with illegal immigration is. It’s not enough to answer the question “no I don’t support a fence” — he needs to say what he does support and would plan to do. All that law-abiding, legal citizens–and legal immigrants, for that matter–want is for people to follow the rules and not cheat, and not be rewarded for cheating. What’s your plan, Perry?
Robb commented:
A real screw up. Kinda like a new Corporal at his first NCO meeting.

Add another negative to the ever-growing list against him.
Personally, I don’t want a fence per se either.
I want a giant, electrified moat with laser-wielding sharks and tens of thousands of naval blockade mines in it. Nothing but the best for me.

Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
If Perry isn’t for building some sort of barrier to entry, what exactly then does he have in mind? He’d better not try to resurrect that “virtual fence” crap.
AuntieMadder commented:
He suggested in 2009 that drones fly above the border to detect illegals crossing into the country.
Unless the drones are armed, what purpose does he think that would serve?
mcc commented:
I’d like to know if he made that comment without coming up with an alternate, feasible plan to provide border security.
Coupled with this:
Texas tea party groups sent Perry an open letter this year expressing disappointment over his failure to get a bill passed that would have outlawed “sanctuary cities,” municipalities that protect illegal immigrants.
and some other things, I’ve got problems with him.

Bill Mitchell commented:
I completely agree with Perry on this. A fence is ridiculous. You only need to breach it in one spot and it becomes useless.
What we need is a guest worker visa for manual labor like the ones we have for high tech labor (h1-b). We have the demand and they have the supply for this unskilled labor so instead of stopping them from coming here, we need to find a legal method whereby they can come to work (not for citizenship) and then go home when the visa expires.
What I like about Perry is that he is pragmatic and not a pure ideologue.
Bill Mitchell commented:
No offense, but anyone who seriously thinks a fence will work is dreaming.
retire05 commented:
OK, how about some answers from you nay-sayers? How do you fence miles of mountain range? Do you put a fence in the middle of the Rio Grande (the boundry line between Mexico and Texas runs along the middle of the river). Do you put the fence on the U.S. side of the Rio Grande giving the Mexicans the entire river and cutting the water supply off to Texas ranchers who depend on that water for their herds?
Or do you fence part of it, as Perry has suggested, creating corridors where illegals have to enter and putting the boots on the ground to apprehend them?
So give us your ideas.
Opaobie commented:
There are better alternatives to a physical fence that can accomplish the same goal of stopping the flow of Illegals and drugs across the border, so let’s see what he proposes during the campaign and then what he actually supports IF he wins. The best alternative is to turn OFF the MAGNET that draws them here. That will be the test of whether he really has OUR best interests in mind or is just another “amnesty by another name” shill.
MrGoodWench commented:
And then if you build a 30-foot wall from El Paso to Brownsville, the 35-foot ladder business gets real good.”
+++++++
So how high is the wall around the White House ?
Why don’t we hear about people entering the White House by using ladders taller than that wall ?
Bill Mitchell commented:
I doubt there is anyone in this forum who has not been served in some way by an illegal alien, whether in a restaurant kitchen, or in the construction of their home or mowing of their yard. These unskilled laborers serve an important role here and to our economy. If we didn’t have the demand they would not provide the supply.
So, the problem is not that they are here, but that they are here illegally and thus must resort to identity theft and other criminal activity to work. The answer is to provide a legal means by which they can live here and work TEMPORARILY without a path to citizenship any faster than anyone else using legal means.
Barb commented:
Perry is right. The border fence doesn’t stop the illegals, they cut holes in it or destroy it in many different ways. I live in Texas and have seen this first hand. Perry sent the Texas Rangers to help protect the border when all the crime and shooting was happening; I don’t know if they are still there or not.. Just stop the employers from hiring them, we have the laws on the books.

retire05 commented:
#17, the fence at the White House had been breached. But there are snipers who are constantly manning the White House roof, there is LE officers who constantly patrol the White House. If the border was manned like the White House security is, we would not be seeing illegals coming across.
The answer is to make coming here so unattractive that they won’t come. If they can’t get a job, or as in the case of California, and a number of other blue states, can’t go on welfare, there is no reason for them to come in the first place. How about we start enforcing the laws aready on the books before we start talking about shooting illegals from a drone?
retire05 commented:
Barb, yes, the Ranger Recon Squads are still on the border, and unlike the Border Patrol, they fired back at Mexicans shooting at them from the Mexican side.

Plumbing the rest of the Perry record
[“The Gardasil debacle is just one of many concerns a wide range of grass-roots conservative activists have about Perry’s record as governor. He’s soft on illegal immigration despite a few recent nods to border enforcement. He’s prone to crony capitalism. And as the vaccine mandate scandal shows, he demonstrated Nanny State tendencies that are anathema to Tea Party core principles.]

Peter of Castelnau commented:
Texas knows how pointless a physical fence is.
A well-executed program incorporating drones and patrols is the way to go.

retire05 commented:
bg, outside of Malkin, your links are far left. Do you ever go to conservative websites, besides this one?
RedBeard commented:
I admit that I like the symbolic statement that a fence would make. But in terms of actually curtailing illegal immigration, the two most productive things would be to strictly enforce laws against hiring illegals (and to fine the employers severely if they knowingly hire illegals), and to cut off all welfare and all benefits for those who don’t belong here. Without jobs and/or welfare and benifits, there is little reason or ability for illegals to come here.
beachlady commented:
I’m not a big fan of a fence either. However, I would like the US Army to be deployed to protect the border. Inform the Mexican Government that anyone trying to cross gets one warning shot, then shot to kill. Harsh, but we are being invaded and it’s about time everyone realized that.

Fence or no fence, I don’t know, but just what is his position on illegals, the signals kind of suggest he looks to woo the Hispanic vote, another troubling aspect to the man. I’ve had my doubts, this does not help.

You have kids that have been here since they were pre-schoolers and have gone through the public school system required because of Plyler. What do you do? Do you allow them, as 10 other states did in 2001, to complete their education becoming productive taxpayers who are on a path to citizenship (illegal children can apply for citizenship when they become 18. It is no guarantee they will get it, but they are not going to be deported, and that is the hard fact about it) or do you drive them into the gangs and have them turn to a life of crime?

ways," Emanuelson said.

So lemme get this straight .
Taxpayers paying for illegals to go to college AFTER PAYING FOR ILLEGALS TO GET FREE SCHOOL EDUCATION = ‘completing their education’
That must be the latest human right/Constitutional obligation of US taxpayers, ILLEGALS are entitled to I’m guessing ,
because illegals already have a right to WIC, food stamps, welfare, free school, free housing, free medical, free “tax refunds”, free public transportation, free rioting, free public defenders, free jails, free rehabs, as well as driving and voting rights.
retire05 commented:
AuntieMadder, answer my questions: how do you fence mountain ranges and rivers?
noislamocommie commented:
People who wrote their business plans around an illegal workforce will support Perry. They have always been there to finance his career. Guest worker plans don’t work,they are always advocated by those who cannot comprehend the blood spilled for this nation and how these people are completely throwing away the nation for the next generation.There is NO EVIDENCE OF IMMIGRATION ENFORCEMENT ON ANY FRONT WHATSOEVER.

daryl commented:
The same people who were bashing Perry for the proposed highway along the I-35 corridor from Laredo to the Oklahoma border and all of the private land that would require gobbling up thru eminent domain forget that in order to build this “fence” along the Mexican border land will need to be procured thru the same process from El Paso, Texas to Brownsville, Texas along and north of the Rio Grande River which serves as part of the border between the United States and Mexico. The official river border measurement ranges from 889 miles (1,431 km) to 1,248 miles (2,008 km), depending on how the river is measured. Property along the length of the river is privately owned and in order to build the fence enough of it would be condemned through this same imenent domain process for a fence right of way, including a passable roadway on both sides.
This goes over like a turd in the punch bowl to these land owners as it should because if and when a fence might be built it WILL NOT be built as the river flows but as the crow flies, splitting and cutting off land south of a fence not used in its construction from remaining land north of a fence, thereby creating a no mans land between the fence and north side of the river.
The Feds won’t fund it, Texas can’t afford to build it with state funds and Texas taxpayers shouldn’t be expected to pony up for it.
All of you that are screaming for a fence can write your Senators and Congressman, volunteering for your taxes to be raised to fund a fence with Federal funds if you like but as for me I can see Perry’s point.

that illegal alien lover just lost the election. Bush also was a big illegal alien lover, obama is the king of the illegal alien lovers(possible illegal alien himself), no one sees that unemployment is never going to be fixed until immigration legal/illegal is brought under control.
I was born in Mexico and I’m also against building a fence, I prefer a wall be built (like the great wall of china) and have the captured illegal aliens build it while being process for deportation. A wall not only will help the US economy but will also help mexico, the only reason narco trafficers exist is because they can easily move there drugs into the US through the porous border. A wall will stop that in a heartbeat, flying drugs over is too expensive.

We would be better off as a country if we did other things to discourage illegals from coming in, that in the long run would do much a much better job of keeping illegals away.
No jobs, no fake SS#, no drivers licenses, no tuition, deportation, no anchor baby, I am sure there are more. We have heard how some are heading home to find jobs because the jobs are scarce, well, lets make all things tougher, then they wont come i the first place.
You wont need a fence then. If you have a fence, it still has to be manned.
noislamocommie commented:
@50 Exactly. A wall where possible and with good design will give at least operational control. The corruption and cronyism behind illegal immigration is unbelievable. Everyone’s on the take. In Tx. most of the crime occurs against hispanics themselves in the child-sex slave trade never mind cops getting run over or shot in the back.There is no way to vet these folks but the biz community blocks any enforcement. I was in Austin tracking enforcement bills. Perry stopped an E-Verify bill too.
He is financed by the INSTITUTION OF CHEAP LABOR.
There is a lawsuit to overturn instate tuition & grant monies in TX also. So far it is doing very well…..stay tuned.

Totally agree w/ Perry on a fence, considering what the cost would be, and how ineffective it would be, given our totally incompetent gubmint. In state tuition for illegals bothers me. Yes in TX the number of illegals are only second to CA, so I see this as pandering to the Hispanic vote. What would he do as Pres? Enforce our immigration laws? I’d settle for that. If he pushes further, better. What I think he believes in is 1) no amnesty, and 2) a guest worker program. The latter so we’ll know who’s here, they’ll be documented making it harder to dip into the Fed trough, and yes, they’d be paying taxes.
retire05 commented:
MrGoodWench, yeah, I live in the real world. It’s called “TEXAS.”

easy solution to all this really: adopt Mexico’s immigration policy. In a nutshell:

step 2) ENFORCE ALL BORDERS of America. PERIOD. this means ALL borders. NO MORE ILLEGAL crossings allowed. PERIOD.
If they are SHOT on SITE coming across. So BE IT.
Then, give them a form to pick one:
1) last free item: ticket back to Mexico
- or –
2) (since USA is much nicer than Mexico) LEGAL registation for them to become legal USA citizenship THUS paying taxes as an American citizen renouncing Mexican citizenship (they will STILL not be entitled to any FREE stuff)

Whether a fence or troops, I want that border closed except for controlled entry points. I don’t want illegals or diaperhead jihadis strolling across. I want draconian penalties for anyone hiring, providing housing or otherwise encouraging the illegals. I want legislation specifying that the 14th Amendment doesn’t apply to any child whose parents are not legally in the country and legislation prohibiting any benefits or privileges to any person who can not prove lawful residency – including voting. Let ‘em vote in Mexico, Kenya, Albania or wherever they came from illegally. I want every one of the illegals deported, no matter how long they have been here or where they are from. And finally, I want English recognized as the official language of this nation.
Fortuitously, our Founding Fathers voted to adopt the the eagle rather than the turkey for our national symbol while rejecting German in favor of English as our official language. Like the rest of their work, excellent decisions.
I am – SICK – of having illiterate, diseased peasants jump the borders and steal our resources. I am – SICK – of dealing with people who not only do not speak our language, but make no effort to learn it nor to adapt to our culture. This is not limited to Latinos – there are plenty of Asians, SW Asian, African & European illegals as well.

The choice seems pretty clear become a minority in your own nation or fight for to protect our way of life.

i’m not saying this is a bad thing, all polis need backing..
Rick Perry’s California connections
[The Texas governor and soon-to-be presidential candidate [-] has been
quite successful in collecting campaign cash from groups of conservative
Californians – as well as several major corporations based in the state.
Among the largest donors going back to when he first ran in 2000: Dawn
Arnall, wife of billionaire banker Roland Arnall, Richard Hall, a Tustin
developer, Alex Spanos, owner of the San Diego Chargers, and Elliott
Broidy, the Republican fundraiser who pleaded guilty to charges that he
bribed NY pension officials.]
but as far as being honest & transparent, perhaps not so great..
not to mention this & a bit more troubling this.. also haven’t seen an
attempt by any Perry supporters in here to debunk any of it, all they
seem capable of is calling info links liberal and making ad hom attacks..
and btw, if don’t like the links, Google for your own,

So what if a fence can be breached. Is the anti fence crowd telling me that a fence wont be patrolled? A breach in the fence means a predictable point of entry a location where wild coyote’s can be dropped off. Pat Buchanan was absolutely right about this.

Has anyone seen the report where the Mexican military crossed over into Arizona and fired on hunters. I don’t know, would a patrolled fence have stopped this? And if you think this is a one time occurance, well you would be wrong. Where is the out cry from Washington? Where is the warning to the Mexican “government” Why is Obama quite on this, could it be he’s afraid the weapons would be part of fast and furious? Where is Perry on this, and don’t tell me Texas hasn’t had similar happenings.

Multitude commented:
I’ve been skeptical of Perry regarding the indications of his underlying “institutionally Liberal, socially conservative” big government proto-fascism ever since I spent time reading through his background with Gore (another large government, “save the po’ folk from themselves thru Gawd and Jebus” first generation progressives).
We made a serious mistake in Iowa in 2008, of which I’m still sensitive of. Iowa is not a bible thumping fundamentalist state, contrary to our mistake with Huckabee. The western half of the state is profoundly northern European (Norwegian, Swedish, German) immigrants into farm communities, which are of the Lutheran type “quiet church” orientation. Our county was one of many who supported a Huckabee who advertised himself in our state as a flat-taxer, a small government type. That he was a person of faith was actually secondary to his message about his self control and victories over his weight at the time. While we should have seen the underlying “born-again” revivalism underpinning this message, we were just eager to have a candidate with a pulse who wanted a smaller government.
Perry is an even worse mistake. I made the mistake of asking questions some weeks ago on Ace of Spades, which apparently is a Perry blog, and was assaulted through delusional conspiratorial fanaticism as a Democratic plant and sockpuppet who was probably paid to instigate questions regarding the Great Texas Leader (hardly, but hopefully most here know me by now). Perry has problems he must address in order to attract a socially liberal, fiscally conservative base, which is not just the libertarians, but most of your business and corporate types (of which I correspond). I will not back someone who hangs with people who are closet Klan, nor will I back another big government type who wants to use the state to save me from sin.
No immigration policy, even one that strongly encourages fresh blood (which this nation needs and I’m strongly in support of) can succeed without a capacity to actually exercise and control that policy. Any idiot knows we start with the control of the border, unless that idiot actually desires the social strife that comes with the refusal to exercise control.
Bill Mitchell commented:
Good God people. You are comparing fences around prisons and the White House to a fence 1200 miles long?
Ok, for the sake of argument, let’s post a guard tower with a guard every hundred feet, like in a prison. That would require only 63,360 guards to cover the entire border fence as securely as a prison. Assuming an average salary of $50,000 a year, this would require a budget of over $3 billion – and that’s just for salaries.
Perry is right. It would never work.

Texas Governor Wages Own Battle Along Border
[The federal government claims the southwest border is more secure than it's ever been. There are more agents and barriers, more choppers, drones, sensors and hi-tech cameras than ever before.
Yet, state officials in Texas maintain the illegal flow of people and drugs is worse than ever — proof, they say, the border is out of control. To back up his rhetoric, Texas Gov. Rick Perry has declared his own war on the traffickers.]

So yes, what is true of a fence around a prison can be true for a fence along the mexican border.
Multitude commented:
and in answer to Bill Mitchell’s comments on the impossibility of the fence:
Bill, you need to get out and travel. Every successful (and even unsuccessful ones) control their borders. The level of control obviously corresponds to to the threat; traveling from Germany to Switzerland usually suffers minimal restraint and controls are usually directed toward human ones at major crossing points. Australia, where I was this week, has a natural border with its oceans and subsequently has to exercise controls through other systems. Interestingly, it is currently embroiled in controversy as its liberal government had enabled a policy of throwing illegals to other nations to live out their lives in detention camps, rather than deal with the issue domestically. Outsourcing the processing of illegals is reprehensible when you’re well are that they’ll be beaten, raped, etc. in some nations you’re shipping them to.
Israel’s well known for a rather effective fence, though it may be expensive for the U.S. to implement. Pragmatic solutions use a mixture of defenses and appropriate the right level of control to the level of threat. Consider it a public works project that would generate jobs and you’d think most fiscal liberals like Perry would sign on. But I’d have to believe Perry’s backers require a disparity in labor cost, desiring the exploitative wages they can command with a undocumented workforce. Administrative and policy controls alone are not effective with a threat like Mexico, where ATF-supported drug cartels are encroaching on our border and the educational and economic gap between countries is too significant for parity in policy-based control administration.
Signs that say “Don’t break the law: Respect our border please” aren’t going to cut it. Controls against employers are naive and easily skirted, particularly in cash economies (which most rural counties are). Effective border management is practiced globally. If Texans aren’t intelligent enough to figure it out, perhaps we can bring in Indians who can teach them a lesson or two.

Everyone wants to blame the illegals for coming here but if no one hired them they wouldn’t come. Remember capitalism, supply and demand and all that? It is OUR fault they are here. But blame isn’t important. What is important is solving the problem.
The way to do that us with a blue collar version of the H1-B visa. We need them here, we just don’t need them illegally or with a shortened path to citizenship. Oh and by the way, if you are here on this work visa and you have kids, they are NOT US citizens.
This problem is easy to solve with no fences and no guards and no guns.

You Perry supporters don’t seem to be getting it….it’s not just about the FENCE….you say that he is being pragmatic, yet do you comment about his stance on in-state tuition for children of illegals. Do you understand that it ALL represents his weakness on illegal immigration?
So, a very qualified law abiding but poor AMERICAN student from another state who wants to attend a Texas college would have to pay thousands more than a child of CRIMINALS. This is fair to you? It is just like granting amnesty…..the illegals immigrants take the spots, the tax money, and the jobs from the AMERICAN citizens, and you are OK with this?
the people who wil suffer from such things the most are minorities, that woudl be BLACK AMIERICANS AND LATINO AMERICANS. So, Perry supporters (and liberal nutjobs too)….why do you hate minorities so much to make it harder for them to attend univeristies and get jobs?

It has been much longer a problem with Illegals than it would be having a fence built. While the fence is being built use drones and some even after. About the ladder business, yes, right on that one but if Mexico could get a handle on this and registered those who have purchase them, OMG, they can’t get a handle on Cartels.
We need a president that will use all the assets awarded to him or her. We are slowly bringing home troops and they need jobs, retire police would be great also. We need All Governor on the borders to be on the same page. Contributions for an Arizona fence is a creative idea.
Speaking of Ideas WHAT ARE PERRY’S. Will he have an answer and the idea that we will pay for tuition for Illegals? For a lack of a better one “SUCKS.” If Perry is the Republican Presidential Candidate up against Obama he has my vote and I will grit my teeth.

He’s absolutely right. If only it were just ladders. The explosives business will also get real good as will the inflatable raft business.
A fence will stop the small straggling groups, perhaps, but lead them into the clutches of organized criminals who will have no problem circumventing a man-made barrier.
The Bush administration pissed away billions of taxpayer dollars in the cause of Homeland Security. Please don’t defend every big boondoggle as a necessary security measure. Illegals are going to get in, whether there is a fence or not. The question is how do we deal with these people once they’re here. And that’s where the real government failure lies. Even Republicans have been shy about facing the problem, and Democrats positively relish the presence of illegals, who, like the blacks, are useful tools.

Merck=Perry’s Gardasil Problem:
Merck conducted a stealth marketing campaign that involved, in part, funding for Women In Government, a group that included legislators who introduced bills supporting mandatory vaccination. The effort backfired after publicity arose (read here). Perry had some connections of his own. One of Merck’s three lobbyists in Texas at the time was his former chief of staff. And the mother-in-law of a subsequent chief of staff was a state legislator and state director for Women in Government.
As recently as early last year, Perry continued to maintain he made the right choice. But since his earlier position threatens to undermine his appeal with social conservatives, he is now recanting. The other day he essentially disavowed his once-adamant view.

From the Univision (Spanish) Channel interview with Sarah Palin:
Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?
I don’t know. I don’t know. That’s a good question.
As Governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they should all be deported?
There is no way that in the U.S. we would round up every illegal immigrant – there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants – not only economicially is that just an impossibility but that’s not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.
Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. They’ve got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be the first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do, because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. Is is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.
So Palin supported a path to citizenship for illegals already here. No surprise. She was the running mate of the man who wrote the Shamnesty Bill with Ted Kennedy. Funny, she was talking to a Spanish channel and never mentioned building a wall. She also didn’t think the illegals should be deported.
And the Palin supporters are bashing Perry for not thinking that a wall, which the illegals dig tunnels under in California, will not work but Palin wants to give them a path to citizenship?

Perry’s toast. He already has far too many demerits: He’s flippant regarding NY state’s homosexual marriage law then tries to redeem himself with some weak-sounding effort to sound ‘Federalist’; He’s susceptible to big-business/big donor — in this case the pharma industry — manipulation as manifested by his signing an executive order to mandate Gardasil for public school girls against the wishes of the majority of Texas legislators and despite the appalling stats on Gardasil’s very negative affects, such as 68 deaths and 18,000 complications; and then there’s the issue of the Trans-Texas corridor.
In short, he’s a crony of big-government intervention when, if he were a true conservative, he would stand against state encroachment. He talked big about that at his ‘unveiling’ at the RedState gathering, that government should be “inconsequential” in our lives. But his record reveals a very different instinct. He has been, I understand, a member of the Bilderberger group, and that in itself should give us more than pause in considering him as POTUS.

Craig commented:
Paul’s six point plan puts a stop to illegal immigration:
- Physically secure our borders and coastlines. We must do whatever it takes to control entry into our country before we undertake complicated immigration reform proposals.
- Enforce visa rules. Immigration officials must track visa holders and deport anyone who overstays their visa or otherwise violates U.S. law. This is especially important when we recall that a number of 9/11 terrorists had expired visas.
- No amnesty. Estimates suggest that 10 to 20 million people are in our country illegally. That’s a lot of people to reward for breaking our laws.
- No welfare for illegal aliens. Americans have welcomed immigrants who seek opportunity, work hard, and play by the rules. But taxpayers should not pay for illegal immigrants who use hospitals, clinics, schools, roads, and social services.
- End birthright citizenship. As long as illegal immigrants know their children born here will be citizens, the incentive to enter the U.S. illegally will remain strong.
- Pass true immigration reform. The current system is incoherent and unfair. But current reform proposals would allow up to 60 million more immigrants into our country, according to the Heritage Foundation. This is insanity. Legal immigrants from all countries should face the same rules and waiting periods.

Sure I do.
“What ever happened to personal responsibility? If guns are banned at Reliant Stadium (which is owned by Harris County, making it basically a public park), why not hold the event somewhere that respects the wishes of our Founders? If Rick Perry won’t even allow guns at his prayer festival, which will be attended by Good Christian Texans, what will he do with our guns if elected president?”
Perry is unable to take responsabilities.
Oh, by the way, I am Canadian. We can see the forest, since we don’t have our eyes stuck on one tree, like you do. If you people elect this phony Perry, you will be the laugh of the whole wide world.

Ron Paul’s presidency will be a revolution in your country. I don’t know how he will do everything, but he will try to abolish everything that is not constitutional in your country, starting with the Private Federal Reserve.
Mike W commented:
The best example of a wall/fence in modern time that worked to keep people in was the Berlin wall. That wall/fence had to be manned 24/7 with patrols as well as towers along with every kind of sensor. Still people were able to escape East Germany. I agree with Perry on that it will take eyes as well as boots on the ground to keep our border safe. Also a good example of a wall/fence that was useless was the wall/fence Egypt built to keep the Palestinians out. The Palestinians had tunnels under it everywhere. Any kind of border security will take a lot of people to make it work.

When people are told to stop or be shot, with incoming landing ahead of them, only the idiots or the committed keep going.

from the English About.com
[Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?
I don't know, I don't know. That's a good question.
As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?
There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that's not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.
Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They've got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.]
what is wrong with that??

Ladies and gentlemen witness the Retire05 and Craig show, both are loyalist to their candidate. One problem Paul is bat shiite crazy and Perry is being dissected before our very eyes.

If just half is true, then he’s not the person I want as our candidate.
retire05 commented:
#193, Sandy, there is no getting around the fact that Sarah Palin accepted the VP slot with the candidate that was the most pro-illegal, amnesty supporting Republican this side of Lindsay Graham. If the Palin supporters are going to claim that Perry is no conservative because he has supported legislation that gives kids brought to the U.S as small children the ability to get a college education (which Oklahoma and New Mexico, Utah and Washington state also did at the same time) then they need to beat up on Palin for deserting her conservative values by running with a pro-illegal, pro-amnesty candidate who actually wrote the Shamnesty Bill.

Well, let me then answer for bg.
Sean Parnell was a lobbyist for the largest lobbying firm in the U.S. He did not quit his job until January 3, 2006, the day before he was sworn in as Lt. Governor of Alaska, after Palin had asked him to be her running mate.
Parnell was also one of the lawyers who represented Exxon in the Exxon-Valdez oil spill. He was/is a proponent of big oil, the very people Palin acts like she hates, yet she got the legal hack who fought for Exxon to run with her.
When are the Palinistas going to demand that Palin answer for that?
jainphx commented:
I have to say that Sarah made me applaud today, and with Sarah, she is the most vetted political figure in history. We now see the vetting of Perry starting, and I’m not sure he can stand up to it.

Have you guys slamming Perry ever seen The Fence? There are single sections which are breeched by a ladder just as Rick says.
Here’s a link to the real working FENCE. It’s two fences of steel plate with a wide No-Man’s-Land between. There are all-weather roads built on the outside and inside and in between. There a high intensity street lamps in the No-Man’s-Land. The estimated cost to fence the border is $50,000,000,000. Of course it would end up several multiples more.
A wonderful guy, my ex-congressman, dad to my current rep, Duncan Hunter thought this up. It works like a charm in San Diego but it would be totally unnecessary if the Feds had THE WILL TO DO THEIR JOB!!!
The 10th Amendment and the shrinking of Federal power is the most important issue. Only Sarah and Rick put that at the front of their campaigns. You Tom Tancredo Patriots actually are insisting on a 100 or 200 billion dollar boondoggle forced down on the border states and billed to every citizen. It’s F’g Stupid!!!
This is a matter of WILL not MONEY. When the Fed wants to control the border it will be controlled. Put the 1000 Guard troops in Texas Rick has asked for and another 1000 along the rest of the border. Fly the Predators that are sitting in Kansas instead of spending billions on the Bush / Boeing failed “Virtual Border”. Most importantly fire all the administrators at ICE and change the ROE and the prosecutors GW used to stop interdicting illegals. Perry will take care of that.

Multitude commented:
What an interesting thread today. Stepping back (and still having nobody to vote for), it’s evident that:
1. The Perry people are well organized and coming out with knives in the blogosphere. It’s not a bad tactic; important as some of us observed with the utter failure of Fred Thompson in ’08 and Herman Cain in ’12. But Perry’s hires have the undesirable stench of the “upper lower class” thugs of the Sturmabteilung (wiki that). When challenged on their capacity to relate to minorities, women, gays, they regress and start screaming accusations of commies everywhere. Funny how certain types just don’t evolve over time.
2. Perry’s a repackaged Bush + McCain with a Huckabee Fundamentalist/Tent Revivalist populist twist: I work in global capital and I’m quite aware of the perceived need to eliminate overpriced middle class American labor with global sourcing. Bush and McCain were trained on this Ivy League doxology, instrumental to globalist economic programs of the Chicago School that continue to sustain the American gentried elites, while feeding the lower classes their social program redistribution. Profit expectations require America’s middle class just has to die now. The elites can’t continue to borrow to pay the bottom 50%, while exempting the middle class from the confiscation necessary to pay these loans back. Perry’s of the same pedigree – his position on illegal immigration proves it – but he’s got the capacity to pretend to be a middle class fundamentalist (which is what all the elites think the middle class is), providing necessary populist street credentials. Perry is a repackaged Bush globalist that focus groups think has the bible thumping populist goodness to trick the middle class fools into voting for right-globalism again. We’re left with right-globalism and left-globalism (Soros and other anti-U.S. elites) in this option.
To have a chance, Tea Party has to vote for a misfit; someone outside the system. Look for them by how much the right fat-cat elites scream. Romney was their non-populist pedigree and he’s pissed that some are backing Perry, but as the expression goes, “Romney couldn’t seal the deal.” We have a battle amongst the elites.
Palin, Paul and Bachmann are filthy, disgusting middle class inbreds. The attended state schools, of all things, and come from inferior breeding. So please, keep it to Romney vs. Perry. All other options sustain the dream of a middle class that hasn’t realized the world’s elites need for it to die now.
Rock commented:
As I said yesterday, why tie Palin up in the Oval Office? She would be far more effective roaming the country and getting the Conservative vote out to throw out all these Progressive weasels that are State Governors, State Attorney Generals, State Judges, and any of the other snakes that push the Progressive cause. We have seen how a small group of Tea Party representatives have been able at the very least push WTF buttons causing some rather hateful and decidedly less than Presidential responses. I see a Republican President facing the same kind of push back in D.C.. Let Palin tear them apart at the local level, she at the very least is effective in generating the grass root level of activism needed to flush the Progressive dirt bags from their hiding places, or maybe as the Head of the Justice Department under a Republican President who would turn her loose as WTF has with Holder. Her power as a power broker would be far more effective than as President.

been asking one honest question for
at least 2 days now, still no answer..
do you have an answer, nah, didn’t think so, nay, knew so..
you not only consistently ask dishonest questions, but also demand
answers to impossible questions you literally make up out of thin air..
talk about others needing meds, choohoo, your train
left the station a long time ago w/out you didn’t it..
as for my other queries..
tsk tsk, there you went again..

btw, it’s interesting how Perry’s already implicated in SEC investigations per his proclivity of taking jet-riding deals with donors. I’m really worried about the RNC as it just seems impotent. They thought McCain was competitive, and now they’ve advanced Romney and Perry as their champions.
Both are damaged, unelectable goods. It’s almost as if the RNC wants to re-elect Obama.

MrGoodWench, conservatives constantly complain about K Street. Are you saying that K Street meets with your approval?
And why didn’t Palin sue the federal government to be able to drill in ANWAR when her own citizens wanted drilling there?
+++++++++
Conservatives complain about THE INFLUENCE OF K STREET ON POLITICIANS. Not the lobbyists, but the politicians who are influenced by them , to such an extent that politicians forget what and whose interests they are supposed to represent.
As for suing the Fed government, I’m not sure what the precedent is . All I know is Hussein and Holder do that to states who want to live with American laws . If Alaskan people want to drill in ANWR, maybe MurCow can help them, she is competent enough to represent her state I’m sure !

Sean R. Parnell (born November 19, 1962) is an American Republican politician who is the tenth and current Governor of Alaska. He succeeded Sarah Palin following her resignation, and was sworn in at the Governor’s Picnic in Fairbanks on July 26, 2009. Parnell was elected to a full term as Governor in November 2010, becoming the first unelected Alaska Governor to be later elected in his own right.
In 2006, Sarah Palin was elected governor of Alaska. Running on a clean-government platform, Palin defeated incumbent Governor Frank Murkowski in the Republican gubernatorial primary election in August She then went on to win the general election in November, defeating former Governor Tony Knowles 48.3% to 40.9%. Her running mate was State Senator Sean Parnell.

just a sample:
Billion-Dollar Scandal Not Ready for Prime Time
[Connections to the halls of power can make any story front-page news.
Fannie Mae and Enron had no shortage of those. They employed two of
the most generous campaign contributors in the nation. The media tried
to link the leadership at Enron to the Bush administration and to several
key figures in Congress. On the other hand, the broadcast media had
nothing to say about the unambiguous connections between Fannie Mae
board members and the Clinton administration.]
if you haven’t read this yet,i highly recommend you do, of course
i also recommend doing do with an ounce of belief & a pound of
discernment par the course so to speak..
Governor Rick Perry, T. Boone Pickens,
and the Enron Legacy of Windpower
[But then the governor launched into his Texas-is-great stump speech
that included kudos to windpower, a new large industry (no) thanks to
a legislative mandate requiring that Texas electricity retailers purchase
qualifying renewable energy. (Wind is the most economical of the
qualifiers.) The 1999 mandate, enacted with the crucial help of Enron
lobbyists, was increased in 2002 with a powerful wind lobby at work.
And so at the point of a gun, Texas became the leading wind-power
state in the country, passing California along the way.]
Rick Perry hires HNTB lobbyist as chief of staff
[Gov. Rick Perry announced this afternoon that he’s hired lobbyist
Ray Sullivan as his chief of staff, replacing Jay Kimbrough, who will
stay with Perry as a senior adviser.
Sullivan has worked on previous Perry campaigns. He has also been a
lobbyist. His clients this year have included Banc Pass Inc., Compass
Environmental Inc., Exelon Power Texas, Global Options Inc., HNTB
Corp., Redflex Traffic Systems Inc. and Silver Eagle Distributors.]
there’s more, like Franklin Raines et al Burning down

As a counter-balance to all the bleeding-heart pro-illegal, pro-Perry propaganda and poppycock that “retire05″ and some others have been spewing on this thread, I will say that I, too, live in Texas (and have for well over 10 years) — and I am COMPLETELY IN FAVOR OF A FENCE.
Moreover, Perry makes my skin crawl. I know from having lived under his leadership that he is weak on many things. I will still vote for him…. for GOVERNOR, but… NOT FOR PRESIDENT, unless — of course — the RNC and Fox News and the NYT force him down my throat. I cannot vote for Obama. However, if give the chance to vote in the Texas Republican primary, I will not be voting for “Governor Goodhair.”
Meanwhile… my answers? Palin, Bachmann, Cain — or, Palin, Cain, Bachmann. Palin first, in any event.

why can’t you embrace either Romney, the “progressive global capitalist in non-denominational boring clothing” or Perry, the “bible thumping, white sheet wearing, negro-hanging evangelical progressive capitalist” packages? you’ve got two very nice options there. imagine subprime is all gone and your credit cards are reloaded, ready to spend. are you feeling happy now? we know McCain was a dud, even with that renegade ingrate Palin mixed in (oh, the Horror!). but what would it take for you to sign on for an RNC blessed candidate like Perry or Romney?

Estragon commented:
A border fence makes great sense in higher traffic areas – it has worked well at San Diego, for example. So for example El Paso would probably be a good candidate. But as Perry pointed out, the fences at such places are effective because they limit the choices and channel the traffic into narrower areas more easily policed.
Fences along hundreds of miles of rural land cost tons but are easily breached in one way or another. It’s one of those ideas that sounds good at first, but upon any serious thought the defects in the scheme become apparent.
Jane commented:
I was at that reception for Perry yesterday. First of all, i never heard tha “angry shout” that keeps getting repeated, and I was about 15′ from Perry.
Secondly, Perry said in the 1200 mile border the only thing that will work is having border guards.
I heard no negatve reaction at all. It seems like the press is desparately trying to create a story here.

Social Network Feelgood Feedback…………….Bill Mitchell #77 above asserted that it would take 63,000 guards to cover 1200 miles of border at one/one hundred feet. Simple math right supported by the following 190 posters. WRONG, that would provide one eight hour shift only. To cover the other three shifts and holidays/vacations and that one shift would require 252,000 plus personnel
Sandy commented:
I’m OK with Perry’s opposition to the border fence. Have any of you checked out how many underground tunnels the illegals have been digging to bypass the border patrols. There are some that have been discovered that have underground lighting, electricity, air conditioning etc. that are being built and funded by the drug cartels. They leave out far into the US, and far away from the border. So would that mean that we would need to not only build a high fence, but extend it hundreds of feet under ground as well? That’s not practical.

During the only debate we have had so far, the one that Bret Briar hosted, I don’t recall “the fence” being one of the issues discussed. Yes, the candidates were asked about how they would deal with immigration, but not what they would do about “the fence.” I also don’t remember “the fence” being a big issue when Sarah Palin was running for VP with Shamnesty McCain.
Now, the Palin supporters can excuse her lack of attention to the fence, and the fact that she told Univision that she believed in a path to citizenship for illegals, but that leaves us one of two conclusions: she was either pandering to Hispanics for votes and choosing to abandon her conservative creds by supporting citizenship for law breakers in order to get elected, or she lied.
No one on this thread has even mentioned the time Perry met Obama at the airport, and tried to hand Obama a letter requesting boots on the ground on the border, which Obama waved off to Valerie Jarrett.
What other candidate has had to address “the fence?” Are we to believe that the other states do not have an illegal problem?

jainphx, no dissing intended, we are in this mess because the Right failed to recognize the groundwork the Left put in place before going public with their Socialist BS. No matter how Conservative a President we get, without the support of like minded bureaucracy to aid the implementation of his or her agenda it is a up hill battle. We desperately need someone who can rally the voters to the cause, can you think of anyone who is more effective and loved by Conservatives than Palin. I want to beat this Progressive disease into the ground, to put the fear of God and Country in their hearts. I want to see the day the LSM and Hollywood is fearful of promoting their Lefty agenda, and I want to see Progressives too fearful of the Right to ever utter one word again about Political Correctness and Social Engineering. The media will attempt to destroy a Republican President, while they expend their energy there, Palin can kick the support of Socialism out from under their Commie butts. A president is far too restricted in what they can do at the local level. WTF was a community organizer, Palin would out shine him as a National Organizer, I want the biggest bang for my buck and Palin would deliver not restrained by Congress and the Media. Believe me I have all the respect in the world for Palin and see her as Americas savoir in the fight against Socialism.

I can’t believe the responses on here that favor Rick Perry.
In 1936, Communist International stated that “Dictatorship can be established only by a victory of socialism in different countries or groups of countries, after which there would be federal unions of the various groupings of these socialist countries, and the third stage would be an amalgamation of these regional federal unions into a world union of socialist nations.”
What followed after that was “a victory of socialism in different countries” in Europe.
After that, those countries under “free trade” agreements, also known as a “common” market, eventually became a European political Union.
Followed by an African Union, a South American Union and a Mediterranean Union, ect.
Rick Perry’s record with the Trans-Texas corridor shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that his presidency will aid and abet further consolidation of the North American region.

Drones are an option after you control the flow and violence. Perry is getting ahead of himself and betting on people not knowing how successful our walls were in Iraq in stemming the flow of terrorists and smugglers. Our military got guidance from Israel, for their wall has proved a liberator from terror, so this may well be the reason so little is said about it.
Building Iraq border walls was spearheaded by General Patraeus who took command in Iraq in 2007, and now goes on to Director of the CIA.
But make no mistake, Mexico is considered a serious threat to America by our military. ‘Top Secret America’: A look at the military’s Joint Special Operations Command:
And remember that CNN junkie, FOX banning, liberal in the military, but not a kool-aid drinker to his demise, and JSOC’s daddy Brig. Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal?
