Governor Perry: Take TSA Patters and Put Them on Mexican Border Detailfrom Gateway Pundit by Jim HoftPerry ’12


Governor Rick Perry told FOX Business Network that the federal government ought to take the TSA gropers and put them on the border with Mexico instead.

The Hill reported:



The incoming chairman of the Republican Governors Association suggested Friday that TSA screeners would be more help securing the nation’s border with Mexico.



Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Friday on Fox Business Network that states need to “push Washington back into that box that we call the United States constitution,” but said the federal government needs to follow through on its responsibility of securing the U.S. border.



“Just in the last two weeks, I’ve had five of my citizens who’ve lost their lives on that border with Mexico, and that is an irresponsible lack of focus by our federal government,” Perry said, calling the federal security an “abject failure.”



When asked if, in the wake of the TSA invasive pat-down controversy, he’d replace TSA screeners as states are allowed under federal law, Perry had an idea.



“How about we take all those TSA agents and put them on the border with Mexico where they can do some security there?” Perry said. “That’s where we need security substantially more than in our airports and what we’re seeing out of this bunch.”
