Texas State Senator, Dan Patrick, was on FoxNews this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”. Boy was it!!! The Texas State Legislature had been trying very hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could go jump, and “we’ll take care of Texas!”. As of last night… the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval… but when they could not get it… they acted on their own. Which I say…. it’s about damn time!!! I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest! In case you are unaware of what the problems are …. Sen. Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely!
1) 100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed. and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!!!) 2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing. 3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State officials,. are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!! 4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight. 5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the danger on the border (Yeah… like that’s gonna happen!).
FoxNews has yet to put this on their website which absolutely ticks me off!!!! I will post it IF they get the stones to do what’s right!
Let’s pray it doesn’t come to this…. but in reality… Texas could be in a Civil War (actually it would be an international incident) with Mexico very soon if this isn’t quelled. Just so you folks know…. the four Militia Groups that are here in Texas will be put on alert this evening. This has gotten REAL, REALLY FAST!
Near the end of the video they show wha looks like an AR on the ground with a drum magazine. I remember a news story about how they were coming across the border and buying cases of .223 at TX guns shops. This is probably being financed by Al Queda as well.
i thought that when we woke up the morning after the election the world would be at peace, not pieces /s
Remember San Jacinto? Texas won that round!
Thanks for the link!
Texas can do just fine without the other 49 states. I suggest they fend for themselves.
It says the Texas National Guard was put on alert .....2 different critters. Militia and Guard are not of the same.
I have seen several stories that AQ is heavy in the drug trade to generate cash.
“Not just the border (southern) states anymore. We’re overrun with illegals here in Michigan too and they didn’t come from Canada.”
Hell, the Chicago area alone has at least 1.5 million illegals.
24/7 .....365..........:o)
“Mexico is - and has been for a long time - an enemy nation. It has been using this country as a dumping ground for its surplus population and its perverts, etc.”
That’s a fact, but with one little correction: Mexico has ALWAYS been an enemy nation.

“Perry’s already let the illegal immigration thing get way too far out of control for most Texans’ comfort”
Of course, that’s why he has some ground to cover. Also, don’t be surprised if Dan Patrick runs for governor if things really do get bad. We’ll have this state locked down completely if he’s in charge.
Marking for updates.
My faith in the American people expired when.... 1) They elected a man who wasn't even born here.
2) They elected a man who's wife hated her country until 11/08.
3) When 70% of people polled think it's the Govt.'s job to get them a job.
The America that my brother andI fought for, my father fought for and my grand father fought for died on 11/4/08.
“They all looked at me sideways, like I was the enemy.”
To them, you ARE the enemy!
NOT all of us!!
“The America that my brother andI fought for, my father fought for and my grand father fought for died on 11/4/08.”
So it’s high time we take it back.
Yes.
Excellent point
