I think that illegal immigration – the operative word is ‘illegal’. It also says here in Article 1 Section 8 [reading from Constitution] that you have to repel invasions. I think that anytime someone is coming across your border and they haven’t been invited, that can be considered what the founding fathers wrote as an invasion into your country.
Wild Thing’s comment……..
I listened carefully and I heard West say like Perry does, that the fence cannot be done the entire way, it has to be broken up with other things. I agree so much. I love Perry’s plan for the border fence and securing our border and it would be done now if Obama had done as Perry kept asking to be done.
Thank you LTC Allen West and I hope one day you run for President. But for sure stay in politics we need you and your sound conservative thinking.
A fence will never work. Man-made structures can be defeated. Just ask the French how easily the Germans overran their “impregnable” Maginot Line.
We’ve got the technology and people to easily secure the border. Drones and AWACS type aircraft could patrol the border for incursions. Upon detecting an incursion, Apache and Cobra attack helicopters could be dispatched from bases along the border. The helicopters along with slow flying A-10 aircraft could also fly patrols. The money we save annually from not having to support illegals would pay for this ten times over.
Bob, thank you so much for all you said. That was so good.
