That’s why Texas took the national lead in allowing such deserving young minds to attend a Texas college at a resident rate - Rick Perry 2001.


Flip.....flop....flip......flop.....

Perry is too much like Bush and he's done all he could to keep those borders open in Texas. And Texas has big budget problems as a result. Property taxes are very high and climbing.

No to Perry, we can do better.

I find surveillance only somewhat more troubling on many levels.

I wonder what the cost difference is between UAVs and the military patrolling the border. If it's cost effective, let's try it in one border state and see if it works.

True. They're into the stolen vehicle business including carjackings, chop shops, kidnapping for ransom, child sex slavery and anything that gets them easy money. Pot is just a small part of the cartels' operations, and legalizing it won't affect them.

It would be a hell of a lot cheaper to have the military patrolling our borders than policing every one else.
