Rick Perry suggests predator drones for border patrol

Rick Perry suggests predator drones for border patrol - Maggie Haberman - POLITICO.com

The drug cartels near our border are a serious issue. I think we should legalize, regulate and tax marijuana rather than spending billions more fighting the war on drugs. The best way would be to bankrupt the drug cartels and the only way to do that is legalize marijuana. It will save us billions from the DEA, prisons, police departments, courts etc and vastly increase tax revenue.

Are you so dense as to not realize that MJ isn't the ONLY drug they are smuggling into the US?

I'm all for predator drones on our borders. Shoot to kill.

Marijuana makes up the bulk. And if you live near the border (USA or Mexico), I doubt you will want them to "shoot to kill" considering the number of "accidents."

I'm for drones over congress and the white house, to be manned by a grassroots taxpayer organization outside of the federal government.

Once accepted on the border they will be used for crowd control, spying and whatever other way they can find to use them against U.S. citizens. History says I am absolutely correct in this prediciton.
Some people never heard of mission creep I guess.

Rick Perry's stance on illegal immigration:

We must say to every Texas child learning in a Texas classroom, “we don’t care where you come from, but where you are going, and we are going to do everything we can to help you get there.” And that vision must include the children of undocumented workers. 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.....

No, MJ only accounts for less than half of the cartels' revenue. They also smuggle methamphetamines, heroin, and cocaine in large quantities. Do you ever think through a post before you type it out and hit reply? Just wondering...

So what. Are you afraid you'll start doing those drugs if they turn up in your zip code?

Err, it is very insightful for Perry to suggest something that has been happening for about a year and a half.

Difference between surveillance and offensive.
