"President Fox’s vision for an open border is a vision I embrace, as long as we demonstrate the will to address the obstacles to it. An open border means poverty has given way to opportunity, and Mexico’s citizens do not feel compelled to cross the border to find that opportunity. It means we have addressed pollution concerns, made substantial progress in stopping the spread of disease, and rid our crossings of illicit drug smuggling activity. Clearly we have a long way to go in addressing those issues."<br /><br />It is not fair to cut a sentence into parts in order to show what you want the sentence to say. Take the entire comment for what it is. Is there anyone in Texas who would not prefer wholly open borders with Mexico If ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE SOLVED? That is what Rick Perry said he wants and it is what I want. We may not see it in our lifetimes, and in the meantime, we should continue to find, detain, deport and stifle furthing incursions into our state by foreign nationals who enter illegally.TheAdjusterhttp://theadjuster.blogtownhall.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810310484613532670.post-33354557906965192382010-02-27T11:31:00.126-06:002010-02-27T11:31:00.126-06:00On the Perry race: the real mystery is why Kay B. ...On the Perry race: the real mystery is why Kay B. thought she could whip him and give up a safe Pub seat in the Senate.

He made that point time after time, so if Rick Perry embraces Fox's vision, then he embraces a fully open border. I hope he has grown up since 2001.The Crawfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05024179595705116945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2810310484613532670.post-87637680742187615692010-02-26T16:54:07.435-06:002010-02-26T16:54:07.435-06:00As I pointed out on the same post of Facebook:
