Texas border security: Gov Perry's letter to Obama in its entirety (video)

Governor Rick Perry hand delivered a shocking letter to President Obama when Obama landed in Dallas. Whether Obama has read that letter, stressing the need for the federal government to support Texas in  combating violence with serious border security, you can. Following is four screenprints of the letter available as a pdf.


Austin, Texas: “Washington has been an abject failure at securing the border, leaving it vulnerable to exploitation, and our citizens exposed to grave danger,” Gov. Perry said.  “An unsecured US-Mexico border is a serious national security threat, menacing the safety and security of our citizens, and the federal government is obligated to secure it. Our citizens deserve the best possible effort to protect them from this advancing network of criminal gangs.”

    I don't believe uhbama will send ONE troop to the border, let alone twelve hundred (or Perry's one thousand for Texas alone).
    To do so before the upcoming elections would be political suicide(promises yes, troops NO).
    If the demoncrats suffer heavy losses in the election, troops on the border become even more UNLIKELY.
    It's not unreasonable to conclude that the pandering to the undocumented democrats will ramp up from now until 2012.

    Hi Dev!

    Bravo to Gov. Perry for his attempt to gain resources to help his state combat illegal aliens on his state's border.

    As we all know, Gov. Brewer of Arizona has done the same. Also as we all know, it has fallen on deaf ears with Øbama ~ as he is far too busy with his campaigning, fund raising, golfing, making TV appearances with the ladies of The View, vacationing and pandering to the illegal immigrants to meet with the border state Governors.

    I must agree with the comments of Ms.T...Øbama feels it is far more politically beneficial to pander to illegal voters then to protect the American people!! SHAME!!

    Obama disgusts me.

    I salute Perry for giving it his best effort. But as you Deni, and you Ms. T point out, it's not going to happen...

    Obama simply couldn't care less, and he certainly wants those votes.

    Sick isn't it?

    Unbama reminds me of my ex-husband and if you knew him, you'd understand what an insult that is.

    We will show our disgust and anger at the polls for sure!

  • Hmmm? 1 year ago

    Just what is an illegal voter?

    Someone who steals identities, ie, social security numbers...

    You can't be that naive, can you? LOL

    Some places where ACORN was situated had more voters registered than they had people in those same counties!

    Get a clue... it happens. Cleary, or Obama wouldn't be the president hahahaha
