BREAKING: Texas-Led Border Security Surge 'Imminent'
Breitbart's Texas ^ | June 18, 2014 | Bob Price

Posted on 06/18/2014 5:59:50 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

HOUSTON, Texas—State Representative Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball) told Breitbart Texas she spoke with Governor Rick Perry’s (R-TX) Office and they confirmed the surge to deal with the Texas border crisis is about to begin. Details are not available at this time, but Riddle said, “It is going to happen.”

Riddle spoke with Governor Perry’s office about the issue and was assured it “is going to be coming soon.” She said Governor Perry’s office is working very closely with Lt. Governor David Dewhurst’s office along with the office of House Speaker Joe Straus.

“They are gathering together everything they need to begin this right away,” Riddle said. She told Breitbart Texas that she could not divulge any information about exactly when, how long, and where the surge would be for reasons of operational security. She also could not disclose what the operational objectives would be at this time.

Riddle said, “We are going to feel this particularly here in the Houston area because of Houston’s role as a command and control center for the cartels--for both their drug and human trafficking operations.” She added that Texas Department of Public Safety Director (DPS) Steve McCraw told her last week that Houston is still the hub for these operations.

Riddle said, “Governor Perry is very angry that the feds are doing nothing about this problem.” She went on to say, “I didn’t expect the feds to do anything."(continued)

Would you vote for Perry or the Dem. woman or just sit it out if you lived in Texas?

It should be seen as an “act of love” to secure the borders for the safety of all Americans. Will Perry be man enough to do the right thing?

“It is going to happen.”

*BUMP*

I trust our Republican Governors. I think there’s going to be some MAJOR ass-kicking of Liberals between now and November.

AZ’s Jan Brewer needs to jump on board, too! MOBILIZE YOUR EFFING NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS! We are being invaded!

Sadly, we spend ALL OF OUR TIME AND TREASURE reversing what the Libtards have wrought while in power, but I guess it gives us something to do...other than actually GOVERNING.

*Rolleyes*

Really, REALLY tired of this...

I would vote for the most conservative person running that is actually conservative. If there were Perry or the sneaker chick, I’d write in one. If people want to elect liberals, thats on their neck, not mine.

Because you vote FOR, not against and I do not think either offer anything I would vote for. So I won’t waste my vote.

I think if the Feds showed up against thousands of Texas Law Enforcement guys we would have another Bunkerville a thousand times bigger!

No doubt about it!

I’ve bee watching Nazi videos on TV lately because I feel like we are living in similar times. Just like the German people, most think it can’t possibly be that bad yet. And won’t wake up to reality until it is too late and no turning back.

I am escaping Mexifornia next year. And despise how Obama is trying to ruin the rest of the country as well. The border states are toast. And I want to move back to the U.S. before I die. But we need to be willing to fight to get her back, and not be complacent sheep.

Can we trust the business as usual politicians mentioned in this article like Dewhurst to be doing the right thing or to be doing the fake thing?

Drug cartels are mentioned in the excerpt of this article, but not the child invasion of the country.

A diversionary emotional operation against drug cartels instead of a real operation against the invasion of young illegals.....

“Obama purged the brass and drove out many good enlisted for a reason.”

Similar to Stalin’s purges of his military.

IIRC, most of the people mentioned will be out of office by this time next year.

Barry hasn’t need to kill any...oh except for the SEALS but I suppose that was simply a run of coincidental bad luck! Oh and the Bhenghazi guys. Oh and all the military killed by asinine ROEs. Oh and the border patrol guys.

All just accidents and bad timing I am sure.

I would imagine that the governor deserves at least some of the credit for that...

The US taxpayer-funded Stimulus money he took deserves more.

Barky may not care about the border crashing, nor iSIS, nor the VA, nor our imprisoned marine, nor etc etc etc -— but you can bet he WILL care about Rick Perry mobilizing troops — a lot!!!

I am extremely cynical at this point because I believe the GOP elected officials are desperate to placate public opinion with symbolic acts and emotional words lest people become so angry that they may act on their own leading to violence.

The Republican politicians and the GOP Establishment are becoming increasing desperate to maintain public support for their party and candidates.

The impeachment talk out of Washington is symptomatic of the overall situation.

As for Obama and his crowd, they appear to be poking and prodding grassroots people with the regime’s actions to get them angry and inclined to resist with acts that could turn violent.

“Surge”? Is this the new word for deploying troops? What exactly does it mean?

It seems that Colorado has a “State right” to allow pot sales, but Texas may not have a right to it’s own boarders.

Well of course they have a right to their own boarders. But the Feds reserve the right to control the borders.

>> “Governor Perry is very angry that the feds are doing nothing about this problem.”

Has the Fed deserted Texas?
