Gov. Greg Abbott announced Friday that the state will deploy 1,000 troops from the Texas National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border to aid the federal government with border security efforts.

Tracy Norris, the adjutant general of the Texas National Guard, during a news conference at the Texas Capitol.

Why is Texas having to do this? Why isn’t President Trump fully tens of deploying of troops to the border? Why is the state having to ante up to National Defense?

Actually the federal government is footing the bill for this. Not the state of Texas. I have some soldiers on the border right now.

Not near ENOUGH.

And most importantly, about 50 years TOO late.

Miami will be one of the first cities where U.S. immigration authorities will target people for deportation as early as this Sunday, according to sources who were briefed on the enforcement action.

Immigration agents will target Miami, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New Orleans, New York City, and San Francisco this weekend, sources from congressional offices and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told the Miami Herald.

“Listen up! We’re at the border now.
Which one of you guys has the bullet?”

“Me, Sarge!”

“Who has the rifle? ... Who has the rifle??
Dammit!”

Excellent however we need over half the military stationed in the border. This is an invasion force plain and simple and why we are not dealing with it as such is shameful. Why else do we have a military if we aren’t going to use it when we are being invaded?
