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

Posted on 06/20/2014 1:33:53 PM PDT by PoloSec

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.

There’s a story on Drudge coming from AZ Central, that the only thing keeping the immigration surge from becoming worse is Mexican gangs guarding their side of the border and only allowing those who pay them to cross.

Now if we could only get an agreement with the gangs to keep them all out in return for us paying them, it would solve several problems. Immoral and unethical? Well, nothing else has worked.

Well, I wasn’t going to mention The Alamo because all of the Texicans died there. :( I prefer to remember the Battle of San Jacinto where Sam Houston caught General Santa Anna with his pants down and trying to hide in the uniform of a private!

Wait til the story breaks that Obama asked DHS to ready housing for 65,000 MINORS, BACK IN JANUARY!

BACK IN JANUARY....

Strangely though, ICE is left out of that loop, not informed in advance, therefore caught flat footed.

Stunning: DHS solicited bids for vendor to handle 65,000 unaccompanied minors — IN JANUARY!

The Obama administration’s claim to have been surprised by the wave of children flooding over out borders may turn out to be another political lie of the year. Sundance of Conservative Treehouse noticed a very peculiar advertisement:

On January 29th of this year, the federal government posted an advertisement seeking bids for a vendor contract to handle “Unaccompanied Alien Children“.

Not just any contract mind you, but a very specific contract – for a very specific number of unaccompanied minors: 65,000.

• Why would DHS and ICE be claiming “surprise” by the current influx of unaccompanied minors on the border in June, when they were taking bids for an exact contract to handle the exact situation in January?

• Secondly, how could they possibly anticipate 65,000 unaccompanied minors would be showing up at the border, when the most ever encountered in a previous year was 5,000 total ?

The bid specifics are even more suspicious:

[...] The Contractor shall provide unarmed escort staff, including management, supervision, manpower, training, certifications, licenses, drug testing, equipment, and supplies necessary to provide on-demand escort services for non-criminal/non-delinquent unaccompanied alien children ages infant to 17 years of age, seven (7) days a week, 365 days a year. Transport will be required for either category of UAC or individual juveniles, to include both male and female juveniles. There will be approximately 65,000 UAC in total: 25% local ground transport, 25% via ICE charter and 50% via commercial air.

[...] In addition, the Contractor shall have personnel who are able to communicate with juveniles in their own designated language(s).

Link to the ad here.

This stinks to high heaven. It is time to subpoena the people who placed the ad to give testimony in Congress. We may have a Cloward-Piven strategy on illegal immigration underway.

Soon, we’ll have to defend our borders with other states from invading federal barbarians.

Looks like Gov Goodhair read my fax about his “traveling all across the country boasting about our Texas economy/riches” AND how he shows up at TEA rallies bragging about state’s rights.

Yay....kudos, Gov!!

I get your point. I dithered also, but I couldn't think of any other inspirational Texas slogan to use....other than "Go, Cowboys!"

Well, that's not a bad quote to use in this Texas troop movement, either...LOL.

Yeah the illegals want to be caught. They’re crossing the border and turning themselves in to the border patrol now. So far I’ve seen both David Dewhurst and Rick Perry say that illegals caught will be handed over to the border patrol.

They must be repelled, not caught.
