    Texas-size thank you


    A big hand to Texas Gov. Rick Perry for upholding the United States' Constitution against those who would infringe on the rights of American citizens ("Governor of Texas to allow Minuteman vigil at border," Nation, Thursday).
    Your article states that state Sen. Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, "a Democrat from McAllen, said in the resolution that Texas border communities rely heavily on tourism, commerce and the free flow of legal cross-border traffic to help support local economies, and that the Minuteman patrols could 'impede the traffic and negatively affect both tourism and trade along the border.' "
    Mr. Hinojosa would like us to think that the Minuteman Project would interfere with "legal cross-border traffic." How so? The Minuteman Project is only concerned with illegal crossings into our country. Moreover, the Minutemen will not go onto private property without the owner's consent. That's not so with illegal aliens, who camp in groups of hundreds waiting for their smugglers, leaving behind destruction and filth.
    I urge Mr. Perry to use his executive power in Texas and send the National Guard to aid the Border Patrol. President Bush is not interested in guarding our borders. It's up to each border state to do it.

    William, I think the article about Governor Perry and his statement supporting the Minute Man Project in Texas along with this Letter to the Editor should go to the TOP of our Home Page. Texas has more miles of border with Mexico than any other state and with a phone call, this Governor can get Troops, his Texas National Guard Troops on the border to stop this nonsense in 6 hours.

    Our number one priority is to stop this flow and Texas can do it with a 1 minute phone call from their Governor to the state Adjutant General under State Mission authority covering the Army National Guard.

    IMHO!!
