Hours before Texas Gov. Rick Perry announced he would send National Guard troops to the border, Texas state Senator Dan Patrick said there are at least 100,000 illegal immigrant gang members in the state.
On Monday's The Laura Ingraham Show, Patrick, who is also the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, said from 2008 to 2012, 143,000 illegal immigrant criminals were arrested and jailed in Texas. He said these were "hardened criminals, gang members, and other criminals that we identified as being in Texas illegally."
"We charged them with 447,000 crimes, a half-million crimes in four years, just in Texas, including over 5,000 rapes and 2,000 murders," Patrick said. "We estimate we have 100,000 gang members here illegally."

It's time to look reality in the eye.
100,000 is a huge number. Even in TX. Especially when that only includes gang members.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
100,000 gang members!!!
And that’s just in the BLM, ATF, DHS, IRS and other federal terrorist organizations.
Oh right, so let’s vote in pro amnesty republicans, that will help.
gavin, vote who u want but if we get the majority they won’t be able to shut Ted Cruz up nor stop him.
Gonna turn Texas blue by hook or by crook it seems.
Most probably by crook.
IOW, a target rich environment.
Ping.
Listening to Dan Patrick speak on the matter right now.
I know you are being tongue in cheek but you are over the truth.
These people get fast tracked into the system.
I have seen it personally.
They’ll put the fox right in the hen house.
Amen.
They won’t be able to shut him up anyway. He’s too strong to shut up. We can’t betray our principles and vote for the kind of scum that sell our out country for lobby money. They have to understand that this country matters.
Gavin, I would take 100,000 Mitt Romneys over 1 Barack Obama with his cronies.
that is true but I want the majority in both houses
Just as soon as the republicans win the senate the economy will go in the tank and it will be blamed on the republicans winning the senate.
They’re not worried about the 2014 elections, they are setting up for a winning hand for Hillary in 2016.
She will be able to run “Third Way” against both the extreme left and the extreme right.
Yesterday Rush was talking about new polls that show the “youth vote” is turning against far left dem policies on economics and are embracing republican policies on economics but turning against rep policies on social issues and embracing dem policies on social issues.
That’s the “Third Way’ vote Hillary is after. That’s why they have to crash the economy but continue to push for ultra liberal social issues.
That my friend, is called politics and is another reason we need to be a bit more general when running in the general election.
That is not to say we give up our ideals, it is just the acknowledgement of the fact that you do not WIN the general election by being polarized.
you are correct, the Fed will wind down all the QE free money, interest rates will rise the stock market will decline and the new Republican Senate will take the hit and mysteriously unemployment numbers will rise.
it’s already preplanned. 2014 is in the bag for the GOP, the Dems are setting them up for 2016.
