Perry's Orphans

There has been a huge controversial uproar over the massive amount of Central American children that are migrating their way to Texas.  The American Statesman article is our Gov. Rick Perry’s plea to the President that a solution needs to take place for what Obama is referring to as a “humanitarian crisis."  Obama’s resolution consists of dishing out over $3.7 billion in new spending, and Perry’s quick fix is to send 1,000 of the National Guard troops in order to alleviate the Border Patrol.  Their meeting last week in Dallas resulted with Perry refusing to lobby for funding Obama’s spending plan.  Texas officials from both the Republican and Democratic parties implored Obama to visit the border during his recent trip to Texas.  Instead of the President visiting the border and single-handedly approaching this crisis, he chose to visit Franklin’s BBQ instead.  I found this article extremely interesting and worth reading because throwing money at this issue is not the solution for our state.
