Governor Rick Perry has a bold and daring idea to crush the Mexican drug cartels.

Sending the army Nicholas.

The way that we were able to stop the drug cartels.

And Columbia.

Was with a coordinated effort.

It may require.

Our military.

In Mexico working in concert with them.

To kill these drug cartels and to keep an -- of our border into it to destroy their their networks I don't know all of the different.

Scenarios that would be out there but I think it is very important for us to work with them to keep that country from.

Thank an announcement -- -- Arizona sheriff Paul read -- -- also a share for the year and in America believe I'm not -- thanks for joining -- sheriff.

Thank you act as sort of thing you mr.

Perry's idea send in the military and it looks like He means send the military and on the Mexican side of the border.

And He does and this is something that in fact we've talked about on your show and and I believe that has to be a very real option.

But coming from him it sounds more and looks more like a -- our Mary pass when.

You you're talking about he's against day at a border fence and then there's the the magnet that draw of reward for instate tuition for illegals went our own citizens from other states can't get that benefit.

And then calls -- heartless.

Those of us who want to enforce a -- so when I hear this what she's right we do need to have the military option.

Which the the first leader to talk about this nationally is actually Hillary Clinton.

To her credit and comparing Colombia and Mexico and this is a graver threat in the fact that we share 2000 miles with Mexico.

In the 42000 plus people.

Have been murdered there and that violence has come and has arrived in America and we see it.

In Arizona -- namely in my county where there's been cartel hits they're shooting serious cartels fighting bandits trying to steal their drugs.

There's kidnappings.

There's carjackings there's high speed pursuits we have to stop and defeat.

The enemy here which is the Mexican drug cartel.

Smith chair Paul take a listen the Michelle Bachmann recently Ottawa on her idea of stopping the mix convexity.

Stopping the influx of it illegal immigrants -- the country and chair.

We can't settled for a president who thinks.

Building the fans to secure the border is idiocy and on its face ridiculous.

I won't settle for porous borders.

I will build a fence.

Sure she took a lot of heat for that but the that there's a lot of credibility I mean here in the -- -- okay.

Build a twelve foot fence all all -- -- build a I'll create a thirteen foot ladder company they all laugh about but but the reality is isn't it.

Wouldn't it be easier to patrol border with -- them without offense.

Absolutely -- she's she's right in the fact that we need physical barrier we don't need -- she said every inch of the border.

With the facts not the best person that I've ever heard speak to this is -- Mitt Romney in fact.

Because we don't need 2000 miles of border with the fans -- not building the great -- of Mexico we need 700 miles.

That has already been -- determined because of the historic smuggling paths that are used or built up urban areas south of the border or north of the border to deny immediate.

Assimilation into America wherever we have built a double barrier fence which by the way -- the sponsored by Duncan Hunter a -- Diego the former congressman.

It works.

And I speak as not just by the sheer terror but ads served combat and I'm here.

Don't feel legal despite another area of that where there is no offense on this keep moving along along the border until -- find something open to -- They make that the traffic point.

Well good point well well -- -- I commanded 400 to 700 active duty soldiers there we had armed soldiers here first didn't deny.

-- entry nobody came through because of the armed presence that we presented.

Then while we were deployed there for two years we built and completed a double barrier fence -- fourteen foot.

Tall corrugated steel -- -- -- with cameras with infrared night with the lighting sensors to detect.

The breach and then the Border Patrol would come -- enforce the law the most important aspect in sequence here is the enforcement of the law we're still not enforcing the loss we've got to get real about prosecuting all these people.

You know -- you make such a great while we don't have a lot IMF let you go that -- -- will bring it back talk about that balance you know you wander across the border in Iran.

You may be held for eight years in May be worse you'll wander across the board in North Korea may be never seen again or in Britain China same thing we want wander across the border here you get.

Free health -- you get a job you get some and I represent you in Washington State solution see it in states rushing to get three I know.

Why anti it's of a little bit of a different different scenario sheriff Paul -- got to say thank you so much tonight.
