Remember the laughter and snarky comments from the Left and its Ministry of Information when Texas governor Rick Perry activated one thousand Texas National Guard soldiers for duty at the southern border? “Ha ha they’ll just stand around like wooden Indians and watch ‘undocumented immigrants’ walk by,” we heard from people Beltway liberals who hate conservatives, especially conservatives with a drawl.
The Left is about to get another lesson about underestimating those who live in “fly over country.” There is a local website (callthecops.net) that is reporting what Perry’s plan actually involves. Contrary to what has been postulated – even by some uninformed GOPe types- the Texas National Guard will not be standing around directing illegal aliens to the nearest aid station. They will be deputized as state police officers who will have the same powers as other sworn officers. Moreover Perry has ordered the construction of holding camps modeled after military barracks where illegals who walk over the border will be housed until their case is adjudicated.

How about immediate deportation? If you enter illegally you are summarily deported. Period.
The State of Texas can’t deport anyone but it can hold them until Texas begins to look like Gitmo. The move for Perry is NEVER To mention the words immigration or borders - say NOTHING about that BUT charge them with simple trespass on Texas State land. They can’t properly identify themselves and any police officer knows those who are arrested for misdemeanors and up have to identify themselves before they can be released. Once the fingerprinting and photographing starts the bad guys will be identified in some cases and the message will be sent: Stay out!
The people who want to join the Beltway crowd in laughing at this move know nothing about the powers of local sheriffs - they have lots of power.
God bless Rick Perry for giving it a try.
Then shoot on sight.
California versus Texas on the immigration emergency.
“Gov. Jerry Brown suggested Monday that Texas Gov. Rick Perry’s ordering of National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border to address the surge in border crossings is misguided, urging politicians instead to heed the “religious call … to welcome the stranger” in addressing the crisis.
“This is a human problem, and it has been the religious call of all religions to welcome the stranger, and it’s in that spirit that I believe the clergy can call the United States, Mexico and all the players to perhaps a higher response than might otherwise happen,”
