Fact-Checking Perry on Border Violence Claim
Gov. Rick Perry repeated a familiar claim at the GOP debate Wednesday at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library. Texas' border cities, he said, are unsafe because the federal government has failed to secure the U.S.-Mexican border.
"For the president of the United States to go to El Paso, Texas, and say that the border is safer than it's ever been, either he has some of the poorest intel of a president in the history of this country or he was an abject liar to the American people," Perry said. "It is not safe on that border."

Is this due to failing to secure the border of the economy?

Based upon the article, Prophet Perry's nose is growing again. Pants on fire.

hasn't Governor Chia Pet signed more than 15 death warrants this year himself? who's more dangerous, Mexican cartels or idiot governors?

Perry is sticking his foot in his mouth trying to look tough. I'm sure one day someone is going to take his foot and twist it off. He is also the largest murderer of inmates in Texas at 264 than all the other states governors and other states including the two second largest executions states in the US! Supercuts Perry should stop praying for rain and start praying for all the innocent inmates that he has murdered and start granting DNA to those who have been begging for them to prove their innocense for years while living on death row. DNA and false witnesses have proven many to be innocent...after Texas murdered them. I wonder how much money they will receive...
If he becomes Pres., I wonder what his personal agenda will do to the citizens of the US, for instance the proud statement he made: "If you don't like guns, executions, or you are gay...don't come to Texas!".
