Rick Perry Blasts Obama on Texas Border Crisis

Texas Governor Rick Perry amplified his criticism of the Obama administration’s handling of the illegal immigration crisis in South Texas on Sunday, saying that administration officials “either are inept or don’t care.”

Perry explained that he had warned the Obama administration two years ago about the increase in unaccompanied minors arriving at the Texas border. He noted that there are only seven Border Patrol officers per mile in Texas, as opposed to 15 in California.

He also placed blame on Obama for encouraging illegal immigration: “The president has sent powerful messages time after time by his policies, by nuances, that it is O.K. to come to the United States, and you can come across and you’ll be accepted with open arms.”
