Texas will deploy 1,000 National Guard troops to the border amid migrant surge
Fox San Antonio ^ | 06/21/2019 | Cassandra Pollock

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Friday that the state will deploy 1,000 troops from the Texas National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border to aid the federal government with border security efforts.

“There is an escalating crisis at the border — a crisis Congress is refusing to fix,” said Abbott, who was flanked by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Dennis Bonnen, along with Brig. Gen. Tracy Norris, the adjutant general of the Texas National Guard, during a news conference at the Texas Capitol.

We should demand that these illegal immigrants be allowed in all unions (Teachers Unions,Construction, Loading Docks,etc) and especially be in charge of these unions as union bosses. Many of these "Guests" ran similar groups. Some would call those "Cartels", but let's just stick with the "Union" label.

These unions would build that wall quickly if that was even thought of doing.

Thanks, but why do they always have to tell.


Probably so as not to terrify people who
live between the Guard headquarters and
the border who might freak out to see
troops rolling through town.

The quickest solution would be to resurrect the National Guard troops that demonstrated the most efficient way to put down the Kent State revolt...

The border invasion would cease rather quickly...

Hate to tell you but Reagan created this monster, that and the SCOTUS twisting the 14th amendment.

Before Obama, citizens patrolled the border.

Verboten now.

“Aright, Lieutenant, have your men fan out across the ravine, that’s where the illegals will be coming from.”

“Yes, sir, we’ll pick ‘em off at the narrow part.”

“Wait a minute. You can’t shoot any body!”

“What? If I can’t kill a man, how will he ever learn?”

Just more troops to change diapers. All this is. We can’t have American troops actually defending OUR border. That would be racism!!!

I thought Mexico magically stopped the flow of illegals hence Trump not hitting them with sanctions? I’d say hit them with the 25% sanctions till there is more illegals crossing back into Mexico than coming in.

Too little too late. So much damage has been done that we may never recover the destruction. We will never remove the 30 million illegals and that is one hell of a percent of the legal citizens in America.

There are approximately 20,000
ICE officers, and some of those
don’t hit the pavement looking
to apprehend illegals. We need
an army of ICE officers, not a
squad.

What NEEDS doing NOW is reinstituting the old US Commissioner program, appointing retired military officers as Commissioners on a temporary basis (until the surge of cases ends) & allowing the new Commissioners to hear deportation cases.

The USA has a real shortage of immigration judges to hear these cases & (imo) the appointment of US Commissioners could dispose of most of the cases quickly/efficiently/cheaply.

And why are they announcing the day and the cities?
How about announcing the cities AFTER the raids?

This is the Texas Guard that are going, not the National Guard. Big difference.

Hey did they give yall any ammo or weapons for every squad member? Last time I was with NG in the south, only the squad leader was armed with a loaded weapon and only one M16.

Hell, we were better equipped then they were but those lads would certainly give them illegals a good chase through the brush, unarmed.

> What happened to “SURPRISE”? <

These are National Guard troops. If I'm not mistaken, only the Marines can yell “SURPRISE”.

Most of these jobs are support jobs that just free up border patrol personnel. Pushing paper, maintaining vehicles, monitoring cameras. Not armed.

I just hope the Build The Wall group will keep on building in the meantime.

This is an invasion, and we need our soldiers to guard the border day and night. The country will not last if we lose all common sense. Protect the border!
