As I've said in other threads, Jimmy Carter can now die peacefully knowing he's not the worst President ever. I think Obama and Bush are neck in neck depending on what we're looking at. I'd give Obama the nod, simply because he's an arrogant, uncaring....Bush at least seemed appreciative of the US servicemen and women.Or will sue Texas, and Perry, claiming they don't have the right to interfere with federal policy.
Truthfully though, this is the most ineffective POTUS we've seen in centuries. "Leading from behind" doesn't do any good at all for this nation.
As to Gov. Perry's actions, good for him.
Seems like I read an article today indicating that Perry sent a letter to the Obama administration informing them of his intentions and requesting that arrest authority (police powers) be granted to the Guardsmen. So, I'm not sure the Guard will be doing anything to invite a lawsuit. In the past as I understand it, they've been employed in administrative duties so more border guards can be policing the border.Or will sue Texas, and Perry, claiming they don't have the right to interfere with federal policy.

They don't have arrest powers.When these guardsmen apprehend children from C America, what will they do with them?
Agreed. Appending to my prior post, Perry apparently requested deployment of Guardsmen by the Obama administration about a month ago, and at that time requested they be given arrest powers. I assume he still thinks they need to be granted such powers, particularly since immigration enforcement would be involved.They don't have arrest powers.
Perry announced last month that Texas would steer another $1.3 million each week to the Department of Public Safety to assist in border security through at least the end of the year. In a letter to Obama on June 20, Perry made several requests for help along the border, including 1,000 National Guard troops, additional helicopters and giving troops "arrest powers to support Border Patrol operations until sufficient Border Patrol resources can be hired, trained and deployed to the border."
It's not clear why Perry would need the Obama administration to authorize arrest powers and the governor's office has not offered details ahead of the announcement. Texas law simply states that the governor can "adopt rules and regulations governing enlistment, organization, administration" of the Texas State Guard.
What else? Put them on a bus to DC!When these guardsmen apprehend children from C America, what will they do with them?
Unlike that brilliant Democrat who is burying this country by doing absolutely nothing about it and spending his time fund raising for Democratic candidates while the world is laughing at him, because he's an idiot, imposing his will on how Americans will act, what they will drink, the insurance they will pay for, and any other act he can do to destroy the country.Typical republican- too little, too late in fighting against a disgrace of a potus.
bama has added three national championships to our resume.Tell me one thing that's better in America since that D.A. took office.
