OH YES!!!!

It is an empty gesture. Perry is just bloviating in advance of another failed attempt to run for the Presidency. No point in congratulating him for something completely useless. Originally Posted by GracePreston

Gosh .... the past names of governers. I'm sure that Ann Richards is smiling in her grave right now. Or turning in it.

I'm pro-Wendy!

That will create a great market for ladders.... Who makes ladders? I think you gave me a great idea for a investment Originally Posted by Luke Skywalker

Let's just see how many border crossings in the next couple of months we have here as compared to states that don't mobilize their guard troops. That will answer any questions.

Anyway, for those of us who are Ann fans, it's a very good (and somewhat entertaining) program.

Wonderful woman. So pathetic that she finally balanced the Texas budget (for the first time in a long time!) and then, it went south when Bush took office.

Typical. She was such a firebrand.

Autumn ... I understand being enthusiastic about helping those children who are immigrating from parts of South and Central America. Hopefully, it'll all work out.

Mate, it will be a lot closer than you think. Rick Perry makes Palin look clever.

While I agree with using available resources to stop the illegal immigration, as those that do it legally are at a disadvantage here is my take that may cost much less in the long run. Why doesn't the US annex Mexico, divide it into 10-12 states (currently they have 31 with the 3 most populous as the US border), slowly build up the economy and infrastructure so people will want to stay there. Minimum wage becomes progressive over say 5 years to reach that of what the US standard is, building infrastructure will create jobs and keep families there thus raising the standard of living in all of Mexico. Sounds like a long shot however back in the late 80's there was a Time magazine article about the US leasing Siberian land from Russia (of course when their economy was crumbling) for I believe 50 or 100 years and American oil and gas companies drill the wells and build the infrastructure. After the lease expired Russia would get it back and the infrastructure would have been built.

Unfortunately a world with no borders is not the answer. The US cannot continue to sustain an 2-3% population group per year.
