Making A Difference On The Border

In the last legislative session, Gov. Rick Perry had voted that $110 million dollar’s be set forth to improve border security. There are many skeptics that believe anyone who wants to come over to the U.S will do so, no matter how big of a wall you put in front of them. A majority of the money is not going to supplies or to the man power it would take to build a fence, but to those who patrol the borders. The money set forth is being used to increase the man power it takes to watch over such a large range of rugged terrain that includes dense vegetation and water ways. As a result from the increase in protection there has been a huge drop in serious crimes by about 65%. The concept of the wall and the security is not to keep citizens from other countries from entering, but to allow guest workers that come over legally and increase commerce and help the economy by paying taxes on wages earned as well as welcome visitors to enjoy are great nation.
