Gov. Perry: US Wants Drug Cartels Off Border

Texas Republican Gov. Rick Perry describes the federal government’s commitment to securing the U.S. border with Mexico as “lacking and almost nonexistent." During a breakfast roundtable with reporters on Monday in Washington, D.C., he told Newsmax that he favors a two-pronged approach to immigration reform: border security first; then dealing with the millions of illegal immigrants who are already in the United States.

Perry was in the nation’s capital to promote his new book, "Fed Up! Our Fight to Save America from Washington." With a foreword written by former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, the book makes the case for returning power to the states and to the American people through a constitutionally limited federal government.

The Constitution clearly does give some responsibilities to the federal government, Perry told Newsmax, adding: “Securing our borders is something they [the federal government] must do . . . Americans want to see that border secured and drug cartels pushed off that border.

“Then we can have a conversation about how we reform the immigration policies . . . I don't think the American people trust Congress to do them."

Perry, who was just elected to an unprecedented third term as Texas governor, said the midterm elections were all about spending and sending a message to Democrats and President Barack Obama that “You’re spending too much money on programs we don’t want. The healthcare bill, I would suggest, is ‘Exhibit A’ — a program that costs too much money.

“Do they [the Democrats] want to have a conversation about how to make healthcare more accessible and more affordable, yes? That bill was not it.â€

Hello, oh Yoo Hoo, Rick Perry. We have US immigration law that already dictates what we do with the millions of illegal aliens who are already here. They are to be deported, Sir. That's the law of the United States, because that Sir, is the undisputed will of the American People and if Tuesday didn't confirm that for you, then you need to listen more carefully to the people of our country.
