Perry touts border security at Texas GOP convention
Gov. Rick Perry pledged to deploy state law officers and equipment to curb illegal immigration and to verify legal residence for Medicaid applicants under a new federal rule. He proposed video cameras along the border for real time online viewing, while party leaders push a broad border hardening platform. Democrats criticized the rhetoric as election year drama as Perry faces rivals including Strayhorn and Friedman.
