GOVERNOR PERRY WILL PERSONALLY BRIEF NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS ABOUT TO BE DEPLOYED
Breitbart ^ | August 13, 2014 | By Bob Price

HOUSTON, Texas — Members of the Texas National Guard currently in training at Camp Swift, near Austin, have been told to stand by for a personal briefing from Texas Governor Rick Perry. Perry is expected to arrive at Camp Swift this morning to brief the troops on his expectations of their deployment.

It is still not clear as to exactly where this first batch of troops will be deployed, according to one of the soldiers currently at Camp Swift. The soldier has been at the camp receiving training this week and expects to be deployed somewhere along the border this weekend.

Approximately 300 soldiers are in this particular training group. He also revealed the soldiers will be traveling and patrolling in military vehicles.

The first group of soldiers who were trained last week have been ordered to remain at Camp Swift to train the following waves of soldiers. They will remain at Swift for two months.

The soldiers are also being trained in the use of advanced surveillance systems such as the Ratheon LRAS (Long Range Advanced Scout) systems. These systems can be used to detect illegal crossings of the border, but also to search for people being smuggled through ranch lands to avoid border patrol checkpoints like the one in Falfurrias.

Public Information Officers from both the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) and the Texas National Guard have been extremely tight lipped about releasing any information regarding the deployment.

If the Texas National Guard is not given the authority and the means to protect itself, one can see where this could end badly for Texas, the US and for Gov. Perry.

Even though there are plenty of illegals crossing the border, it is NOT an invasion.

Not all invasions are armed.

Invasion

noun
1. an act or instance of invading or entering as an enemy, especially by an army.
2. the entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease.
3. entrance as if to take possession or overrun: the annual invasion of the resort by tourists.
4. infringement by intrusion.
Definition #1, which you are thinking of, does not require an army.
Definitions #2, #3, and #4 are certainly applicable to the border crisis.

You keep saying this is an observation mission. It isn’t. It’s a force-multiplier mission. The TNG has the authority to detain according to TX AG Abbott. Perry hasn’t given them authority to arrest yet, but they can detain and call BP to come get illegals or call TX DPS to come arrest criminals for state and federal crimes. They won’t be sitting around sucking their thumbs.

Wholly inappropriate; what is needed here is military force, not authority to arrest.
The reason it's such a big crisis is because people refuse to acknowledge it for what it is, an invasion.

Worst poster on FR, bar none.

So you say, yet you remain unable to define your criteria for "best" and "worst".

Even so, I'm deeply hurt.

Your approval meant everything to me, and now I realize it is forever denied me.

Your boy Obama has spoken to bulldykes.

And fags.

By opposing that which opposes Obama, you support fags and bulldykes.

Hope you got some pix for your Christmas cards.

That better not be the case. If it is then this is facilitating rather the repelling invasion.

Little late to the game for Gov. Goodhair, but at least it’s something.

Not too far off the mark. If he came around here, I'd have him turned out onto the street to get my money.

You need to go outside once in a while for some fresh air.

Now that right there is funny.

Pinging Eaker to your last line there.

One does not send soldiers out to fight a war unarmed, and believe me this is a war.

Continue pressuring for action. This is as least a start and we need more of it not less. All of our governors need to step up to the plate.

If they are unarmed, then you are right, it is a big waste of taxpayer money.

Good way to get some of the Texas National Guard shot by the drug smugglers.
