Regarding immigration reform, Perry highlighted the importance of developing a foolproof biometric identification system to track individuals and to ensure that they pay taxes and "live within our laws."

Heard a rancher say, "they can track a cow from Canada to here but they can't track a __ __ WB."

This about Perry does not fill me with glad tidings, that it's from 2007 notwithstanding.

Give those bureaucrats a generation and the kids will be asking, "how did they survive without them?".

They can keep them.

Absolutely. We need the fence, the "boots" - armed, cameras, drones and, oh hell, moats with alligators if that's what it takes.

I'm very anxious about another Perry-proposed amnesty; Reagan's just set the stage for the next. The next will confirm the next one. Where will it stop?

When we catch them we should release them across the border with the gentle reminder to come back legally.

On a second offense we should deposit them at Cape Horn. Should they make their way back again we drop them off again to the Cape - but from 30,000 feet.

Did any of you see razor wire??

At least the clowns at sea received some warning shots.

It's already a fence/wall by itself isn't going to do the trick -- hand and foot holds nothwithstanding -- so yeah, the results do speak.

Fer crissake.
