As President, he’ll have to meet with leaders of groups (nations) who have promised to obliterate our country.

Texas doesn’t have all the money in the world. The Feds should pay for National defense.

How much of your land do you want cut off from the US by a river? Our border is 1200 miles of the 2000 mile border with Mexico and it’s a river that winds back and forth. It’s not a straight piece of land like in New Mexico, Arizona or California.

The fence that has been built along the river is straight, because of the logistics of following the actual border in the Rio Grand. It cuts some homes and land off from the US, divides farm and ranch land and cuts livestock and irrigation off from the river.

In the meantime, we are spending some of our own Texas funds to put “boots on the ground” for border security in the form of Texas Rangers and DPS personnel.

However, the Feds should be paying for those National Guards - and they are paying for some. It’s just that 1200 National Guard troops were deployed by Obama but Texas only got 250 of them.

Yes, but he will not be seeking their votes for President of the United States. Trying to get such an organization to vote for you, as opposed to exposing them for the treasponous serpents they are is not a good thing. That's my point on this issue.

I understand the politics...I just heartily disagree with them.

The Feds should pay for National Defense...I agree...but they can use the Guard to help with national defense...and securing the border is exactly that.
