“Lupe Trevino, the elected Democratic sheriff of urban Hidalgo County, said the Ranger Recon program was “an obvious political ploy” as Perry wades into a bruising Republican primary for re-election against U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.

“We don’t need the Texas Rangers to come to the border to quell any imaginary disturbance,” said Trevino, vice chairman of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Southwest Border Task Force.

Texas Rangers Assistant Chief L.C. Wilson, who is overseeing the Ranger Recon teams, said he planned to discuss the plan with some border sheriffs this week at an out-of-state conference.

But Wilson said Perry’s announcement that the Ranger Recons would be used to “address the increased burglaries of rural homes, ranches and hunting camps in remote areas along the Texas-Mexico border” wasn’t the whole story.

“What we’re really worried about” is the spillover of the drug cartel violence in northern Mexico, he said. “That’s what the governor doesn’t want coming over here.”

Wilson declined to release any information regarding the placement or number of what he characterized as “outdoor SWAT teams,” but said they were trained and equipped for “nighttime domination.”

“We want (smugglers) to be fearful that anytime they come over they could be running into a team,” he said.”

Seems Perry and the Rangers are right.
Yesterday in Houston area. A grain truck loaded with drugs was headed north. A CI was driving being followed by agents. Next thing you know a car with Zeta Cartel thugs drove up beside the truck and shot the CI. The agents following opened fire along with Sheriffs deputies.

One Deputy was shot in the firefight.

You can Thank Janet Napolitano and Obama for the DRUGS headed to a school near you.

At least with Perry as President, we might actually slow this crap down.
It is obvious that there are some in Texas that are making money off of this nightmare and Perry as President would be the last thing they would want.
