Texas decided to independently deal with illegal immigrants on the Mexican border
Texas Governor Rick Perry ordered to send thousands of National Guard soldiers to the Mexican border, setting them a task to reduce the flow of illegal immigrants from the adjacent side. This decision was made by the governor after several useless attempts to convince Barack Obama to proceed to tough and decisive actions aimed at fighting illegal migrants. Reports about it Kommersant.
At the end of the last meeting, which took place two weeks ago, President Obama assured Perry that he was “open for perception” of the Republican governor, however, he had postponed the signing of the decree on strengthening the southern border.
But most Texas residents do not grumble. They, like residents of other states, support the Perry initiative. And this is important for the governor, who, most likely, will run for the next presidential election in 2016 from the Republican Party.
Illegal migration is a serious problem for the United States. And recently, illegals have increasingly begun to take children with them. According to official data, since October 2013 from Mexico illegally penetrated into the United States about 60 thousands of minor Hispanics. And all this - against the background of a constant increase in resources allocated to solve this problem.
Illegals have become one of the main themes of the dispute between Republicans and Democrats. The former argue that Obama is weak and not capable of decisive action. Second, they answer that they cannot violate the rights of people fleeing poverty and violence.
He was supported by the Governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick, whose staff is 3,5 thousand km from the southern border. Without encountering refugees directly, he flashed erudition and recalled historical fact:

"I will not sit back, otherwise it will cost Texas too much"
declared perry. He could have made this decision before, but he didn’t want to spend money, since a decree signed by Obama would mean that the program would be funded from the federal budget. Now, Texas taxpayers will pay $ 12 million per month to strengthen the border.But most Texas residents do not grumble. They, like residents of other states, support the Perry initiative.

“It’s not the National Guard that is to be sent to the border to counteract the humanitarian crisis, but the Red Cross. Children fleeing violence in Central America do not hide from the border patrol. Why send armed soldiers to meet them? ”

"In 1939, the US authorities refused to accept Jewish children on their 900 land, sending the ship back to Germany, which in the end turned out to be fatal for most of them."
