The troop contingent was promised a month ago by current Republican Gov. Rick Perry, and it is expected that in the coming days they will begin to be deployed along the Texas-Mexico border, which stretches some 2,000 kilometers (about 1,240 miles).

Has there been any polling data showing Texas Hispanics’ reactions to the issue? Sounds to me like she’s making a pander push for their vote. Many Hispanics seem enamored with the idea of our being overrun by illegals.

Abortion Barbie is not a real and present threat to Texas. Abbott will steamroller her in short order. The Castro brothers of San Antonio are the more dangerous threat looming on the horizon.

#whatelsewendydaviswillpromise should lead with harvesting unicorn turds and making it a liquid abortion cocktail, for all the good it's going to do.
Would love to see someone run with that meme or similar.

Of course she would. I’m just shocked she admitted it.

Yup, First group is getting paperwork and all done this weekend, and heading down to Austin to start moving down. Should be in the area within a week.

I wonder who are her political handlers.....
I would think placing the NG on the Texas border has an extremely high approval rating from Texans....
They must be GOP Plants or something....
Or she simply could be an idiot....

I think Greg Abbott is going to have something to say about that Wendy.
