About damned time.
Good news Ping.
Good
1,000 doesn’t seem like much
Good. I was reading that he was asking Obama to do this and I didn’t understand why as I thought the National Guard was under control of the governors.
about a million invaders to late! but better now than never i reckon :/

“These are young people, just families coming across. They’re not armed. They’re not carrying weapons.”
I bet they have some carrying arms, RPG’s, explosives, prayer rugs, and drugs among them.
What say you, Hinojosa?
Hear we go!
Let the bitching about open borders Rick commence. LOL
This is TWICE he has deployed the NG to the border.
It is largly symptomatic because he has no power tpo arm them due to Washington and posse comitatis, but BY GOD! who else is rising up?
........one of you math guys do the math, doesn’t seem like 12 million a month is correct!
These guys/gals don’t get paid much. If each got $3,000 per month, that would be 3 million. Then there is equipment and fuel and food.
12 million still seems high.
Huh? He should have done this from the start!
By now Holder knows about it and has already given the ‘heads up’ to his buddies in the Mexican cartels.
Just seems unnecessary to give advance notice.

Good!
Now round up lots of buses to send the illegals back!
There are other resources available to the gov, as well, that he should be calling up, like the Civil Air Patrol, that can provide Comms and recon from the air.
Plenty of the civilian volunteers would likely show up if called on “the Militia”, as well.
What are they going to do and how?
What are their orders?
Pres. Obama has been criticized for declining to send Nat’l Guard troops to patrol/guard the increasing mythical land border between U.S.A. Mexico. I thought Nat’l Guard was under control of state governors, who, at their discretion, could accede to a presidential request to place the troops under presidential control.
Pres. GW Bush could not take control of LA Nat’l Guard during the Katrina debacle until the feckless Governor signed the required release. Bush, of course, was faulted.
“Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen”
Idiot of the highest magnitude...
On a side note, if anything the expenditure of “Texas” money is finite...12 million a month sounds conservative...
It will not be sustainable...From a fiduciary perspective...I would like to know where the money is coming from, yet we know not a damn dime will come from the Feds to help this situation...
If anything the Feds will spend money to do whatever it can to torpedo this effort, and it will go away as soon as the money dries up...
But of course Joe Strauss laid out some of the details before, just so the folks (democrats) can have a chance to step up and voice their disapproval (of the border surge) that will directly effect their desire to bloat their voting block for this November...
Do you know how many stanzas of “Jeopardy” I sang?
