Rick Perry Orders Dallas Cowboys to Mexican Border
Credit Photograph by James D Smith/AP.
DALLASIn his boldest move yet to address the immigration crisis, on Thursday Texas Governor Rick Perry dispatched the Dallas Cowboys to the United States border with Mexico.
In a photo opportunity with the Cowboys and several of the teams cheerleaders, Perry explained the rationale behind his latest decision. Those who would cross our borders illegally will have to contend with the power and fury of Americas Team, he said.
Critics of the move dismissed it as political theatre, noting that once the Cowboys arrived at the border it was unclear what they would do there.
Additionally, there were questions about how effective the Cowboys would be in stopping illegal immigrants, since the team has the worst-ranked defense in the N.F.L.
