BUMP
He is not allowed to let them shoot..You might go to Obummer for that permission. Good luck
Gov Brewer needs to follow suit and call up her state’s NG.
The National Guard will primarily be patrolling rural areas for cartel, gang, and terrorist activity. In previous operations, we have driven them back across the border. They don’t want to get caught.
As for the illegals who are surrending themselves to BP, I think tent cities similar to Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s tent prison camps might work as temporary housing until they can be deported. They should go no farther into the U.S. They should not be released with a NTA and allowed to hop on a Greyhound bus to join family elsewhere in the U.S.
Once they realize that their destiny is a tent city with no opportunities to work for pay, create a home, or purchase goods and services, they’ll go home on their own or stop coming here illegally. Provisions and medical care in those tent cities should be minimal. Treat medical emergencies, immunize everyone, and send them home
The older I get the dumber my spelling gets LOL
It just amazes me that Perry is about the only one doing anything about the border, and he catches hell here on a daily basis as if he created the problem on the border.
If the time comes, we won’t be asking for permission.
Sadly all will be handed over to ICE/BP/Feds and will be turned loose.
Good men and women risk their lives on the border everyday with their hands tied by the Feds.
The problem lies in Washington.
Our system IS broken.
If he wants them to be meaningful and not a political showcase.....
He needs to deputize them and give them arrest, detain and full engage authority....Make them a temporary part of the Texas Rangers....
Amen...
The border is an international one and our governor should be getting support from Obummer...and the Congress.
Fat chance of that.
If we can’t immediately deport the illegals..and the feds won’t..they will disappear.
It is the job of our federal government to protect our borders..and they won’t do it.
Agreed. It's much more complicated than most people think.
I wonder if you can train alligators to stay on the U.S. side of the river? ;-)
Cut off all the benefits and jobs, deport on contact and most of them will probably leave.
Amen!
While Texans are happy to fight, this is not ours to fight alone.
Yall want a fence? Pony up some cash and get yer happy butts down here to help us build it maintain it and patrol it.
Please refer me to the law that allows the Texas governor to do that.
BUMP!
And truth is a fence will never work.
Especially along the Rio Grande, 99% of Tx is private land and you just cant have the fed taking over your land to build a fence that cuts your cattle off from the river.
The problem lies in Washington and in Mexico city.
Mexico is a rich country and there is no reason for the poverty there other than corruption.
Now we have given rise to the drug cartels, that increases the flight.
We encourage it in DC, hand out EBT cards to the illegal refugees and bitch that Tx aint doing enough to stop the problem.
Bust the cartels and Mexico citys balls and this crap will stop
When I was a child in the 60’s we had Mexican migrants all the way into NE Ohio.
It was not an issue.
They come, they pick tomatoes they don’t bother anyone and they go home in autumn.
Now they stay and get on the Dem taxpayer funded tit.
And all of a sudden – President Obama has a news conference, ostensibly getting tough with Putin RE the Ukraine…
4.3 Military and Police Powers
The Texas Constitution names the Governor the commander-in-chief of the Texas National Guard when the state's units have not been placed under the command of the U.S. President. (Article II of the U.S. Constitution names the President commander-in-chief of the state national guards when they are mobilized for national service.) The Adjutant General, whom the Governor appoints, heads Texas Guard units. Though Texas Guard units can be dispatched to respond to situations such as civil unrest, they are more commonly used to aid in natural disasters or other forms of emergency relief in which local emergency services need additional resources.
Though most law enforcement and police investigation responsibilities rest in the hands of city and county governments, the Governor also has limited police powers. The Governor (with Senate approval) appoints the members of the Public Safety Commission, which directs the Department of Public Safety (DPS). The Governor can also assume command of the Texas Rangers (a division of the DPS) under some circumstances, although this is a rare event.

The feds are supposed to guard an international border...Talk to the feds.
But he just punted to the UN.
Tough guy. LOL
