Perry links D.A. slayings with border security

Asked to offer conjecture Wednesday on the weekend slaying of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland , Gov. Rick Perry told Fox News Channel it was too early to speculate.

Then, the outspoken chief of state spent several minutes doing just that.

In an interview with Fox's Jenna Lee, Perry quickly tied the killing to one of his favorite topics: the federal government's role in Texas' porous border.

“We know the drug cartels are very, very active in this country,” the governor said. “It goes back to the whole issue of border security and the failure of the federal government ... to expend the dollars necessary to secure the border with Mexico.”

He offered no evidence to suggest McLelland's slayings had border connections.
