Another problem with your numbers: Texas deployed 150 Rangers, while the Feds only sent us 250 National Guardsmen. From the news and the citizens like Dr. Vickers in South Texas, these Rangers are invaluable.
Texas has spent about $80 million (I think since 2006) just on these deployments. That’s in addition to the $200 million a year we spend on keeping the illegals that the Feds force on our prisons.

Still mostly symbolic. If you think that 150 people can make a difference in securing the Texas border, I’ve got a geography lesson for you. Regardless, it’s the wrong battle. He should STOP making the state so friendly for illegals to settle in.
