QUOTE: Texas Says No To Transport Of Illegal Aliens Through Presidio Source: Governor of Texas Posted on: 2nd November 2009 Plan would move illegal aliens apprehended in other states through Presidio Gov. Rick Perry today sent a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano urging the federal government to stop its plans to transport illegal aliens from other states into Texas solely for the purpose of deportation. The Alien Transfer and Exit Program (ATEP), which is scheduled to begin tomorrow, would transport more than 34,000 illegal aliens per year through Presidio. “Turning the Presidio area into a way station for the repatriation of illegal immigrants adds responsibility to local authorities and holds the potential of increasing the strain on local and state infrastructure and resources,” Gov. Perry said. “This plan will increase the likelihood that these individuals will immediately cross back into Texas, which is already bearing an uneven burden in dealing with immigration and border security issues along the Texas-Mexico border.” Gov. Perry noted this program is a result of the federal government’s continued lack of an effective strategy for dealing with border security. “Texas is proud of its working relationship with the United States Border Patrol, and we have invested significant state resources to assist them in their worthy efforts. We will continue to request that the federal government send the adequate resources necessary to effectively secure the southern border,” Gov. Perry said. Since January, Gov. Perry has repeatedly urged the federal government, through letters to President Barack Obama, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, to approve his request for 1,000 Title 32 National Guardsmen to support civilian law enforcement efforts to enhance border security in Texas. A porous border places Texas and the nation at risk from international terrorists, organized crime cartels and transnational gangs. Until the federal government fulfills its responsibility of securing our border, Texas will continue filling in the gaps by putting more boots on the ground, providing increased law enforcement resources and leveraging technology along the border. In the absence of adequate federal resources to secure the state’s southern border, Gov. Perry recently announced the state’s latest border security enhancement using highly-skilled Ranger Reconnaissance (Ranger Recon) Teams to address the ever evolving threat along the Texas-Mexico border. Additionally, under the governor’s leadership and thanks to action taken by the Legislature, the state has dedicated more than $110 million to border security efforts in each of the last two legislative sessions. To view the governor’s letter to Secretary Napolitano please visi Attached File: Gov. Perry’s Letter to Secretary Napolitano http://thegovmonitor.com/world_news/united_states/texas-says-no-to-transport-of-illegal-aliens-through-presidio-13254.html http://governor.state.tx.us/files/press-office/NapolitanoJanet200910310000.pdf Why can't those illegals be deported back the way they came? Why does Homeland Security need to bus these people (34,000 per year) half way across the continent just to drop them off in a place where it's certain they will cross again into the State of Texas? Where does the Federal Government derive the authority to shift the illegal immigration problems of other states to the back porch of another state?

Good idea, how about drop them off on all those that are for this in their yard. Then when their property is destroyed or someone is attacked, raped or murdered maybe then, MAYBE they might have an INKLING of why we fight against this!!!

These "laws" are a waste of tax payers money.
The million's of dollars the US wastes on this is obsurd.I can see patroling the border for drug runners,ect,but not for innocent people who want nothing more than a better life.

You can't pick and chose what laws you want to abide by. If you don't like the laws do something to change them. Don't break them. |

QUOTE: people "pick and choose" everyday Why do you think America has a prison overcrowding issue? Look, there is something that called "make a legislation" to change the laws. Do it the right way. If it passes, than hip hip hurrah, if it doesn't than tough sh.t..but it was done the right way. Now, Ignoring the law is an entirely different concept. Advocating lawlessness is like you are sentencing yourself to death, since your neighbor can shoot you and rob you blind, since there is no authority to arrest you. I don't know...is everyone loosing their mind lately or what? 
Lately I feel like I'm in a kindergarten and teaching kids how to eat using a spoon.

yes, some pick and choose which laws to abide by but when you break them expect the consequences. Our porous borders are a danger to this Country. We have a problem here in our Country and it's not just mexicans from mexico that are seeping across our borders. The first link is a list of the MANY victims murdered by the hands of illegal immigrants. Myself and others have every right to defend our Country while others sit back and continue to say oh nothings wrong, it's just the neocons and their conspiracy theories. These lives are are not a conspiracy theory.
