Governor Perry wrote a letter to the Mexican president in response to his criticism of Texas increased border security. In it he lets President Peña Nieto know that his words were unnecessary and will not change his mind on the matter: I will continue to act as necessary to uphold my constitutional obligations, and when it comes to the safety and security of Texans, I will not be dissuaded by rhetoric of any kind. He also pointed out that border security should be of concern to Mexico as it should be here in the U.S.: Whether along Mexicos southern border or Texas, we must ensure our borders are secured in a manner that discourages illicit activities while allowing for legitimate commerce and lawful immigration, and I encourage you to take the necessary steps to do so along your countrys southern border. Though I would have liked to see a little more grit and a little less diplomacy, I am happy to see the response. (ML) governor.state.tx.us/news/press-release/20137/#.VBmrwB103Do.twitter
