BREAKING: Texas Sends Armed Troops to Defend the Border (VIDEO)
Conservative Tribune ^ | June 20 2014 | Conservative Tribune

The border crisis that Obama has manufactured for political purposes only seems to be getting worse, as illegals pour in hoping for amnesty and being dumped at bus stations in Texas and Arizona by the feds.

Texas has had enough of it, which is why they’ve decided to stop waiting on the feds to do their job and just shut down the border themselves.

The state’s Republican leadership has approved of $1.3 million per week in additional border security to stop the wave of illegal immigration into Texas.

This will include the deployment of armed Department of Public Safety Troops to defend the border.

Via America’s Freedom Fighters:

Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus said in a joint statement that spending on the “law enforcement surge operations” comes as the result of “the absence of adequate resources to secure the border.” The surge would continue until year’s end.

Last week, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott asked the U.S. Homeland Security Department for $30 million so Texas could send more state troopers to the border.

“Texas can’t afford to wait for Washington to act on this crisis, and we will not sit idly by while the safety and security of our citizens are threatened,” Perry said in the statement.

If the feds won’t do it, it’s up to states like Texas to take care of business and secure the border. This is a good example of how states can take matters into their own hands and fight back against Obama’s total lawlessness at the border.

Unless they intend to stop them from crossing at all, its a meaningless gesture. If illegals cross and are caught, they will be turned over to the border patrol and it will be business as usual.

The word should be “sending.” I don’t see anything that suggests that any troops have been sent yet. Call me when they are there, armed appropriately, and taking charge of the Texas southern border. Call me again, when any Fed agent is arrested for interfering.

Fair is fair.

If the Prez can up and decide What The Law Is, then really how long will it be before states also do that....?

Colorado did. Indeed, even individual cities (many in Calif) have very openly been saying they have been doing that FOR YEARS.

Maybe individuals should also do that..?

Obama will send in someone evil who will shoot a young immigrant and start a controversy overshadowing all the scandals.

I understand that Texas maintains a ‘State Guard’ which is tactically organized and equipped with the previous generation of heavy equipment purchased from the National Guard as it is retired. Is this the force being described. A state guard is truly the state’s military force with little or no federal control as the National Guard is under significant federal administrative control.

Step one, America's enemies convinced the weak-minded that rounding up illegal aliens was an impossible task. Step two, America's enemies compound the problem by opening the door to a tidal wave of additional illegal aliens. Step three, America's enemies pack up the illegals and spread them across America making them difficult to round up. Step four, America's enemies pursue "rights" for these illegals, including voting rights. You can see how this ends. These are the acts of "domestic enemies".

The necessity of a state to take action such as this should warrant IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT and REMOVAL of the kenyan usurper!

It’s time for Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona to step up as well. Crickets?

Bingo. IOW, another junction in the do-loop unless the current trend is broken and illegals are actually deported. We shall see...

Looks like we have fundamentally transformed ourselves back to the days of Emiliano Zapata and Pancho Villa.

Where is a Black Jack Pershing when you need him?
