Here’s What Rick Perry Looked Like While Touring the Border on a ‘Badass’ Boat
 
Texas Gov. Rick Perry spent Thursday afternoon with federal law enforcement officials along the Rio Grande, after President Barack Obama declined  to visit the border during his trip to the state amid the surging immigration crisis.

Perry traveled the river by Anzalduas Park, an area known for its high traffic of illegal immigrantscoming into the United States, with a five-boat tour, law enforcement officials told TheBlaze. 

“The Texas boats looked badass,” one law enforcement officer told TheBlaze.

The boats had mounted machine guns and were accompanied by a helicopter to assist in the border tour, the officer said.

Perry on Wednesday described his meeting with Obama as “constructive,”  but said he’s concerned the president will not move forward with Perry’s suggestions to bring the National Guard to secure the border.

“You know, I was like, Mr. President, you can deal with this. You can unilaterally direct the Department of Defense to put those troops on the border,” Perry told Sean Hannity on Fox News. “The president needs to understand that the single most important thing that he can do is put the National Guard on the border to coordinate with local law enforcement, with state law enforcement, with the Border Patrol.”


Obama said he would be open to the National Guard suggestion, but that it was only a temporary fix.
