Newscast Media -- The newly re-elected Texas Gov. Rick Perry said in order to contain the drug-related violence that plagues the US-Mexico border, the U.S. should consider deploying armed forces into Mexico. Perry said military might is necessary to defeat the drug cartels, and the success of immigration reform will depend on how effectively border violence is decreased.

"I think we have to use every aspect of law enforcement that we have, including the military," Perry said. "Any means that we can use to run these people off our border and to save Americans' lives, we need to be engaged in."

Perry has been a vocal proponent of deploying more military forces to the U.S.-Mexico border, hand-delivering a request to President Barack Obama in August.

Perry also believes that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme, and is bold in stating his beliefs about it.

"My children are in their mid-20s. They know for a fact that Social Security is not going to be around. They know it's a Ponzi scheme," he said. "When you have a very small group paying in to pay a very large group, that's a Ponzi scheme." Add Comments>>
