It has been reported that Rick Perry, Governor of Texas is praising the results of his immigration enforcement talks with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano. That's after a steady drumbeat of criticism from Perry about the federal approach toward those enforcement needs and fears that Mexico's drug-related violence might spill into the United States. Perry says that Napolitano, as a former border governor, "gets it." He says, "The border can be secured. It takes boots on the ground. It requires technology."
Perry has appealed to the federal government for unmanned drone aircraft and National Guard troops to patrol the border. I know that Governor Perry has consistently criticized the federal government for what he calls its failure to enforce immigration laws and prevent rampant drug-related violence in Mexico from spilling over to border states. But he struck a more conciliatory tone today, saying he had "a real good feeling" after a meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano.
I guess that in the mean time we are to set back on our morals and let the Illegal aliens have a wonderful Cinco de Mayo day at our expense. I am glad to hear that she "gets it" but how long before she does something about it. It kind of like waiting for the Astros to do something but all they offer is lip service.
