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)

Like I said earlier, this could become a very very BIG DEAL.
AS IT SHOULD !!!!!!!!
I know you were being sarcastic, but I see absolutely nothing wrong with busing them to DC, Maryland and Virginia, engulfing our Legislators. No reason they shouldn't personally share first-hand experience in being overwhelmed.
This may be a little out there but it was a thought I had this a.m. when reading an article about all the illegals. It seems to me that TX, AZ & NM have a right to protect their own borders. IF that is in fact the case, then why couldn’t they build a big fence? I suspect if normal citizens (e.g., we Americans), heard about it, they’d be all for it — we could set up a Build the Dang Fence Fund and us regular folks could contribute whatever they could - $5, $10, $20, etc. Maybe Trump, the Koch Bros or other similarly situated (money-wise) people could send large amounts. Ranchers would probably be happy to contribute.
I suspect there would be volunteers, such as yourself, to help with the building (IIRC Texas is a RTW state, so wouldn’t have to worry about unions). There are probably contractors and suppliers (especially in TX) that would contribute materials or give a huge discount on them.
Just some thoughts I had early this morning while having coffee. Oh well, tomorrow is another day, for another daydream.
Nnt me. And you should remember that from the tender moments we shared ;)
So they’re going to do a double secret security surge?
We’ll see. I don’t think TX is going to stand up in any meaningful fashion.
Yes, we understand your hatred for Governor Perry. Why not spend the hatred on another thread? Honesty, you are getting very boring with all the negative posts.
Dewhurst and Straus are traitors
If Gov. Perry gets forces together and repels this invasion, he will be propelled into the White House come 2016.
Americans hunger for a leader.
His obfuscation and corporate whoring notwithstanding, he just seems to lack drive and imagination.
If you can seal your international border, you can seal your state border as well...
If you can seal your state border, then you can exit... stage right, from this "union".
MA has gotten three planeloads so far… Mini ME (Dooval Patrick D. Gov MA)
is part of the Chicago Way. They are going to blue states LIKE CRAZY…! It is called “infiltration”!
That should be done anyway! Set it up to send a message to DC!
When the fund builds up to millions what will they say about it?
We had the surge in Iraq and now we are being invaded by surges of illegal aliens.
I did vote. To my regret. To think I could have cleaned out the fridge or rearranged my sock drawer in the time I wasted standing in line. Oh well.
I agree.
But it will be Ted Cruz.
No you don’t understand anything, nor are his posts boring. you heed to hear that Perry is a fraud. Because your eyes do not seem to convey that info on their own. He had a well deserved reputation for being an illegal supporter.Ask LaRaza. they did not send a cartel to his house and force him at gunpoint to speak to their anti America rally.
Texas border.....(((ping)))
You’re exactly right. And he’s not going to promise them in-state tuition.
I don’t hate any person. I hate liberalism and what it’s done to my country. I also hate how pro-ILLEGAL alien liberals pretend to be conservative. And as long as pro-ILLEGAL alien Rick Perry tries to get into my White House I will oppose him.
