“a big waste of tax dollars”
No kidding! And why all the delay in getting them there? When LA rioted, the NG was there almost immediately. I don’t think much of Perry, he’s just milking this issue for his own political purposes. Not on my list of people that I would vote for for President. He’s not really a decisive leader, but then are there any today?
Unarmed.
That's a great deterrent. Seriously. [/sarc]
A big waste of tax dollars.
More than that, it shows Perry to be a despicable coward, afraid to use what lawful authority he has…
I'm more than a little suspicious that he is an open borders politician, simply looking at his actions it appears all he's doing is putting up the appearance of doing something
so that those who aren't open borders won't evict his arse in future political arenas.
I didn't see that in the article. Got another source?
Really? Where did you get that from?
"Texas State Representative Allen Fletcher, Vice-Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security and Public Safety, told Breitbart Texas he expects the soldiers to have a very impactful deterrent effect on those seeking to cross our borders.
“In their home countries, the military are people they are very afraid of,” Fletcher said. “When they hear there are armed soldiers along the border of the United States, it will deter some of them from coming.”
“They will be unarmed, their job is only to observe”
Could you provide details of that information please?
Posse Comitatus!!!
Its an election year and the appearance of taking action must be first and foremost for Republicans like the lawsuit against Obama.
They will be armed.
If they are unarmed, then you are right, it is a big waste of taxpayer money.
Good way to get some of the Texas National Guard shot by the drug smugglers.
It seems like too little too late to me.
What?
They will be unarmed, their job is only to observe>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
That might be the official line, but this is Texas and every man will have a gun. Count on it.
