What prompted him to do it now as opposed to not doing it much much earlier?

The ACLU is already filing for an injunction, I’m sure.

He could also call up a militia. He’d get far more manpower that way.

Here in El Paso we had a man kidnaped and taken to Juarez where he was tortured, mutilated and his arms severed.

Re-election. He’s going to outflank Sen. Hutchinson on the border issue and stick whatever hapless Democrat gets in his way with being an open border candidate.

The militia, while welcome, probably wouldn't be necessary. The Texas Rangers try very hard to live up to their motto, (official/unofficial?), “One riot, one Ranger.”

“teams of Texas Rangers”! What ever happened to “one riot, one ranger”? I always though that TX Rangers(Law officer NOT baseball team) were like US Marines!
To: US Navy Vet
I think when they got the motto, the riots didn’t include 16 million illegals either.
Besides, “team” probably only includes the one Ranger and horse.
