A top National Guard general says most of the 1,000 troops heading to South Texas will take up observation positions along the border and detain people only if they interfere with their mission.
Texas Adjutant General John Nichols told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the troops will help deter illicit traffic amid a record spike of unaccompanied minors crossing the border. Republican Gov. Rick Perry announced the Guard's involvement Monday.

Will they even have beanbags this time? Nerf rounds?
I confess I thought you might get a kick out of that imagery.

And yet some want him for President.
I did. Thanks! :-)
Yep. That is ALL it is. Don’t worry tho, the Globalist, illegal lovin’ LaRaza Riccardo Perrynist’s fan girls will be in soon to tell us all how wrong we all are for not buying into his latest fraud/fake scam move. Go Rickeeeeee, go!! Look at his hair! He wears cowboy boots! He carries a gun!!! (Cue Frankie Sinatra Bobbie-soxers like swooning from Riccardo’s toadies here......sigh).
Yes, they do. They were downright giddy when they heard he was sending in the Guard. Most knew it was political theater that would accomplish nothing. Count me as being among the latter.
Beanbags are racist!
Perry fans can swoon over his looks all they want. What they can't do is convince anyone that Perry is anything but the pro-ILLEGAL alien liberal his record proves him to be.
If you want to know what Rick Perry reallly thinks abotu ILLEGAL alien children see Post# 18.
I am thinking that, ‘Shoot on Sight’, orders might stem the flow of illegals...
From the article;
"National Guard troops...will take up observational positions and detain people only if they interfere with their mission"
So, if anyone comes along and tries to stop (the Texas National Guard) from taking a position for observing, that person may find them self being detained.
Yeah okay. Whatever.
WalMart greeters.
Perry is a fool. Just as I suspected the Guard will be useless.
This is all about Perry's candidacy for president.
Ted Cruz - 2016!
YES! Ted Cruz is the only conservative from Texas.
If Perry had his way Cruz would never have made it to Washington. Yet another reason to reject Perry.
will they be changing diapers too?
When I parsed the verbiage being used when this was announced a few days ago, I labeled it 100 Proof Texas Longhorn Male Bovine Feces. I didn’t think he’d actually SEND the Guard to the Border.
But now I see it’s even WORSE than that. He’s sending the Guard, but it will result in merely the pi$$ing away of a ton of taxpayer money by saddling the Troops with assinine rules of non-engagement.

That is funny, until one realizes it may be true. :-P
I apologize for the repeat reply above, but twice today, when I clicked “POST” it appeared as though nothing happened, so after waiting 10 to 15 seconds I clicked it again and.....MY bad.
