Reuters also quoted a statement made on CNN’s State of the Union program by Representative Henry Cuellar (D-Texas), whose congressional district includes a stretch of the Texas-Mexico border where 48,000 people, including 9,700 unaccompanied children, were detained in May. “We should have been ready for this surge,” said Cuellar. “The administration should have been ready…. They should have seen this coming a long time ago.”

On This Week, Gov. Perry was asked by the show’s host, Martha Raddatz, “Do you really believe there’s some sort of conspiracy to get people into the United States by the federal government, by the Obama administration?”

Perry’s reply was straightforward: “I have to believe that when you don’t respond in any way that you are either inept or you have some ulterior motive … which you are functioning from.”

Perry made similar comments during a June 17 interview on Fox & Friends: “This president, I will suggest, is either totally and absolutely inept, or making some decisions that are not in the best interests of American citizens.”

During Sunday’s interview, Perry also pointed out another threat stemming from our unprotected borders: “We also have a record high of other than Mexicans being apprehended at the border. These are people that are coming from states like Syria that have substantial connections back to terrorist regimes.”

FK – Let ’em come. Something’s going to have to give the brain dead sheeple a kick in the ass and wake them up to what will be required.
