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)

"It seems that Colorado has a “State right” to allow pot sales,..." "Holder's people" need their pot, EBT cards et al. What a racist pr*ck. When will this end? and how?

I think DC is a great place to start, then other pinko commie states such as MA, CA, NM, CO, OR, WA, NY, and all the rest if I missed any- New England states?

Better bring something a bit longer. Engagement ranges down there run long.

He’s probably going to send all of Child Protective Services to the border and abandon all the Texas kids.

About Paging Jan Brewer, I heard on the radio this morning she is working on getting gays their civil rights-—whatever the heck that means.

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

Really?

But, if that's the case, didn't other governors take an even bigger chunk of Porkulus...and deliver a lot less?

If they’re parents in other states want to accompany them, let ‘em
_____________________________________

have you heard or read that they are giving the children to adults who claim them but are not checking to see if the adults are in the US legally ???

well I had this thought...

say you live in NC and decide one day to just abandon your children and take off for Washington state..

after awhile your 9 year old son comes looking for you..

he takes buses and trains and walks all by himself until as hes passing through Nevada the authorities get him and turn him over to child protection etc...

He tells them that you left him in NC all by himself to fend for himself and went to WA last year..

His pic is on TV and you call them to claim your child..

Now can you see them just putting your little boy on a bus or plane and sending him to you in Seattle ???

Think about that one for a mo...

You would have been arrested for child abandonment long before the kid started out toward Washington.

I wouldn’t doubt that Obama is paying the smugglers.

My prediction? Perry (as well as any other Repub governors) will fold & capitulate like a wet blanket the moment some RAT bastard federal judge overrules him. Just like he & other Repub governors have allowed federal judges to arbitrarily overrule state constitutional marriage amendments and have unilaterally implemented gay marriage in Repub states.

Likewise in this border security "surge" Gov Perry does not have the balls to tell some federal judge or judges to stuff it! He will fold instantly and then will shake his head in mock sorrow and proclaim "well I guess the federal judge overruled us on this". Yah right, Perry is just another squishy Repub or Repuke I might say instead!

Just deputize us and well build that fence and seal that border nice and tight! I'll bring all my tools, including a nice 16" deterrent.

Texas is loaded with fence companies. There must be more fence in Texas then any other state by far.

yes but they are telling Obama its going to happen...

they should have just done whatever and let him learn about it from the news..

When he finds out about this he is going to be POed..

if he has to think about it and it messes up his game and he slices a ball he is going to be one angry golfer...

An honest question:

Rick Perry can declare an “emergency” but what actual resources does he have without the Feds ?

What force can he deploy ?

Above all else, first & foremost, Gov Rick Perry needs to grow a pair of balls instantly!..... and then stick to it. Instead he will cave & fold like a wet blanket the instant that a federal judge or Holder's Just-Us dept tells him to stop.

Forgive me if I’m wrong but neither RP or GB ever took the first oath as the “President of the Republic of Texas”, so neither had the right to cross the border! Even if they call up the Texas Ranger’s.
However if RP realizes that he is not a national contender and takes the oath; he will have the authority to fix this problem. Seriously who wouldn’t respond if the Head of the Republic told the Horsemen to call up a Posse and fix the border region and areas beyond.

OK, if I accept your premise that Governor Gardisil did better than other governors he still did it with US taxpayer dollars. That’s certainly no “Texas Miracle”.

Bus all the illegals into CO, OR, CA, and let them deal with this crap.

Why burden Tom Tancredo's chance to be elected governor of CO?

I’m a staunch conservative and have been posting since 2004. Perry’s pandering & catering to the illegals is well known, as has been pointed out dozens of times on this thread alone. The truth is what hurts, not false accusations of trolling. Is that like calling someone racist when they disagree with you? (Like 0bama & the demoRATs do?)
