Texas Governor Rick Perry orders border surge
Twitchy ^ | 18 Jun 2014 | Rick Perry

Posted on 06/19/2014 5:57:41 AM PDT by MamaTexan

The responsibility for securing the border rests exclusively on the federal government. The federal government’s failure to secure the border has created an incentive for families to send their children on a dangerous, and sometimes fatal, journey. Until the federal government fulfills its duty, it falls on the State of Texas to address those obligations

No, an invasion is an army. These are people, so it’s up the civil law of the State to deal with them.

NO, No, no ! - they are criminals. Put bounties on them.

We’re being invaded by an army of lawbreakers.

Like I said, I do understand. I'm basically just trying to explain a point of law to try to illustrate possible ramifications of anyone's actions.

Unless the State agrees to legally shield each and every one of us individually from prosecution or begin massive deputization, shooting illegals will result in federal charges.

Shooting someone for trespassing on public lands does not fall under the Castle Doctrine that protects an individual at their home.

that last response didn’t make any sense….perhaps you didn’t understand what I meant. See Lakeshark’s response to me for clarification.

Hey, I’m all about Greg Abbot, Dan Patrick.

It was Dan Patrick who stood up and urged the Gov. to allocate 1.3 million a week....after Perry made his comments on national telle regarding the lack of resources.

I think he’dda sat on his hands for fear of alienating the messy-can vote come 2016.

Well shut my mouth!

Thanks for the link and education.
At first it looked like they might just be a part of the National Guard, but it appears they are independent and answering to the Governor.

Wonder how many members are not connected with Nat Guard and would be available even if nobama ordered “Stand Down”?

Yep. It’s changed from an infiltration to an outright invasion.

That's the reason that I teach my grandchildren Texas history and about the differences between Texas and other states.

Texas is unique in many ways, including having a weak governor. Our government is in large part a left-over from Reconstruction, and requirements that the carpetbaggers imposed on us.

Where are you getting your legal definition of 'invasion'? Or are you just making up your own because it sounds good?

Where are you getting your legal definition of 'invasion'?

Bouvier's Law Dictionary, 1856 Edition
INVASION. The entry of a country by a public enemy, making war.

They are not 'making war', thus it is not an invasion.

----

Or are you just making up your own because it sounds good?

You felt it necessary to accuse me of being a liar right out of the gate.

The question is, why?

You don't consider rapes and killing 'making war'?

And I didn't accuse you of anything. I asked a question. Hit dog yelps.

Rape is a crime against an individual. Invasion is a crime against a State.

Just when I though accusing me of being a liar without cause was about as low as you can get, you go and try to deflect from the facts I posted by tossing out a legalistic non-sequitur like some kind of Alinskyite.

Mexican military incursion into the United States

Your definition of invasion needs to be updated.

I am very hostile to your legalistic pandering to the invaders.

BS! 'Making something up because it sounds good' IS lying, no matter how many cutesy colloquialisms you try to cover that mess up with.

I'm not pandering to anyone, you fool.

I'm giving the legal and Constitutional definition of invasion.

If you can't differentiate between the two, that's your problem, not mine.

We have been told that Texas is to recovered by Mexico in the "reconquista" by Mexican nationals. Armed Mexicans are invading the United States and killing Americans.

The Mexicans are using unarmed Mexican nationals to further their goals.

We are being invaded.

Your willful failure to see that is pandering.

I remain hostile toward your tentative and cautious approach. Overwhelming armed force will be required to stop this invasion.

Rape is a war crime under international law when it occurs as part of an invasion.
