Perry is another damned idiot.

Re-legalize all natural state agricultural product.
Re-medicalize all synthesized and pharmaceutical state product.

The doctors and pharmacists can manage the latter.
The USDA and county extension agents can manage the former.
Done.

Do some more reading:
The problem in Mexico today is based in the BLACK MARKET PROFITS from the NORTH.

OK, half-century later. To my certain knowledge, today in suburban Washington, as for example at Washington and Lee High where my daughters did time, kids can buy all the aforementioned goodies, plus nitrous, Ecstasy, crystal and, within a five-minute drive, there may still be an open-air crack market in the parking lot of Green Valley pharmacy. Crack isn’t a kid drug, but it is easily available all over Washington.

Further, I know all sorts of people in their sixties now, veterans of Dong Ha or Woodstock, some of them vets of both, and most of them do grass and not infrequently hallucinogens. I’m talking door-gunners, Special Forces guys, at least two Ivy profs, just plain people. So, Michelle, what exactly has the War on Half the Population accomplished?

You certainly aren’t protecting kids in high school, or even middle school, from becoming drooling stoners living in dumpsters. They have easier access to drugs than you do. What protects kids from becoming needle-cases is—I am aware of the preposterousness of this —the common sense of teenagers.
They aren’t druggies because they don’t want to be.
They aren’t alkies because they don’t want to be.
Most don’t smoke because they don’t want to.
DEA has nothing to do with it.

Kids could easily do all of these things. America is up to the armpits in drugs, tobacco, and booze.

Rick Perry is a joke. I am a Conservative but this man just makes me laugh.

Build the darn fence and put them AT the border to keep the criminals from coming over to this side.

AND enforce the laws already in place...put CEO's and other leaches that use illegals in the Pen for the max amount of time and it would end the other problem in the morning.

Perry IS another Texas joke like Bush,Tom Delay et al.

Just windbags.

Bring the troops home and secure our border and I say send troops into Mexico and help fight the Cartels, at least it benifits the USA to do so.

Stop the cartels at the border itself but Perry is one who promotes massive illegal immigration and open borders. His open borders are what exactly benefit these cartels when it comes to all their lucrative trafficking business including the stolen vehicles that head right on into Mexico.

And exactly how do we go to war with a country after so many of it's people including cartel members and supporters are living inside this one? That's a sure way to get the cartels attacking Americans.

There's only one reason why these drug cartels continue to assault our borders.

It's worth their while to do so.

Because they know we are too weak, soft, and infected by political correctness and White guilt to stop them.

And because the borders are wide open to them. They can do whatever the hell they want, no one stops them when they come over the border. Same reason they're decapitating and torturing people over in their country, because they can, no one is stopping them.
