CNN to Perry: Isn’t Sending National Guard to Texas All About Running for President?

‘I’m the governor of the state of Texas. My citizens’ safety is what’s foremost here’

CROWLEY: "To those who say that you're calling up of the National Guard in Texas is a part of your road to become president and to run for president again, your response is?"
PERRY: "I'm the governor of the state of Texas. My citizens' safety is what is foremost here. And it hasn't got anything to do with anything other than those numbers of individuals who are coming across the border. And when you think about the idea that some of them are from countries that have substantial terrorist ties, whether it's Pakistan or Afghanistan or Syria, we are at historic record highs with individuals being apprehended from those countries. We say it's time to secure the border."
