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!
Agreed, it’s high time to put this down once and for all.
Did President Bush return to his home in TX?
Make sure Justice Medina says away.
Texas was Mexico then.
says=stays
TO HELL w/ Washington -- Texas has the authority under the Constitution to protect its own interests as a sovereign state. It's time for ALL states to tell the folks in D.C. to go f* themselves.
Thank you.
I really, really APPRECIATE your reply.
Thank you again.
Therefore, 72 hours is the key.

Ping! You need to see this...
God Bless you and thanks for your service.
Behind enemy lines, my brother.
Be safe and maintain SA.
Please don't forget that 10-square mile evil to its northeast.
It’s just not the border fence any more, it is a need for actual defense from the narco lords who seem to be taking over Mexico.
Being an LA boy, I've got highly sensitive radar to such stuff.
I experienced this firsthand in my first couple of months in North Texas, three years ago.
I ran into a group of about five Mexican thugs in the Rockwall Walmart, all of whom gave me the "evil eye", sort of "wanna start something?" flow. I had the wife and kids with me, and wasn't armed. To defuse it, and protect my family, I gave them back the "ho-hum" - no reaction flow.
I haven't experienced it since, but let me tell you that I seethed with anger over that incident for a long time afterwards. It pissed me off that I was being challenged just for being an American, and on the soil of my own country by these foreign thugs.
I was even more pissed that I couldn't exact some frontier justice on the spot.
Refresh my memory. What are you referring to?
March 6, 1836. On that fateful day, Davy Crockett woke up and walked from his bunk on the floor of the Alamo up to the observation post on the west wall. Col. William B. Travis and Jim Bowie were up there already. As the three gazed at the hordes of Mexicans moving steadily towards them, Davy turned to Bowie with a puzzled look on his face and asked, “Jim, are we landscaping today?”
“As of today, there are no indications that this post is true.”
Technically, yes. There definitely was not a high alert issued, but Dan Patrick did say (on the radio here in Houston) that a low-level alert was initiated. I don’t know what that means, but most likely it’s simply contacting their leadership and letting them know that things may get interesting soon.
No faith at all in your fellow Americans, eh?
Must suck to be you.
Washington, D.C.
By the sounds of the reports I'm seeing, the violence has already started to spill over the Tex-Mex border.
Next to California, Texas probably has more illegals than anyplace else in the country, and it's creating serious tensions here.
Perry's already let the illegal immigration thing get way too far out of control for most Texans' comfort. If he's not already "toast" for the next election, he sure oughta be.
D’OH! I can’t see the forest for the trees here, I am so ashamed.
I never knew that it was that small.
Wow! All of this misery coming from such a small area, bummer.
Thanks for the reminder.
