We are watching a historical event! The first politician in many years TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT A PROBLEM!

Sure, Rick Perry isn’t a “gilded tongued devil” but regardless as to how he talks....he speaks the truth and actually follows up on it. I was for him the last presidential cycle but the people thought he was a “HICK” due to the way he talked. He may not have spoken like a polished liar but he certainly had the clarity of thought of a masterful and true patriot and leader.

Since King Obama has been in office, name a single thing that he has done to protect our way of life and laws as written. You can’t! As a matter of fact, name anyone has actually “laid it all on the table” and physically done ANYTHING of substance? Crickets..........

THANK GOD FOR TEXAS AND THANK GOD FOR RICK PERRY!

Ok, so now there will be more people to welcome our new democrat voters.
That’s nice.

“Did Perry just say he is going to bill fedgov for the cost”

Yes he did. Does he really think the federal gooberment will repay it’s debts?

With 26 Million Texans, I think we can each deduct 'our' amount from the income tax to get the point across!

Requested? Does he have to get approval somewhere?

************

I can’t answer that question. My guess is there is a procedure of notification, etc
that has to be followed. Two types of call outs Title 32 and Title 10. I’m assuming it
will be under Title 32 which isn’t Federal call out.

..The Governor can activate National Guard personnel to “State Active Duty” in
response to natural or man-made disasters or Homeland Defense missions. State
Active Duty is based on State statute and policy as well as State funds. Soldiers and
Airmen remain under the command and control of the Governor. The federal Posse
Comitatus Act (PCA) does not apply under state active duty status or Title 32 status...

Read here and see what you make of it:

Perry should divert all Federal gas taxes in the state of Texas to pay for this.

Better idea! There needs to be a showdown between the stated and the Fed.

Thanks; I read it as only allowing “State Active Duty” without Federal approval. Both Title 10 and Title 32 required SECDEF or Presidential approval as I read it.

As a Texan, I can give you many examples of how the Mexican hoard is getting more bold and brazen by the day. I applaud the guv for this act, but it is about 10-20 years too late.

He sends the TX NG to the border, they then hand them over to ICE, or whatever alphabet agency, and they cut them loose by seeding the entire country with them.

Funny stuff....If given the task, ya couldn’t make this stuff up. It’s Mad magazine material.

It’s like Perry pretending to be some big pro-secure borders guy, while he shows up at racist pro-illegal alien organizations to give speeches and lend them credence.

See, funny stuff. Laugh or blow a gasket.

In my opinion, every member of congress has violated their oath of office by not acting on this problem and securing our border long ago as they were charged to do. I am reminded of the song by James McMurtry, "Safe Side". But the border he talked about has been erased and mayhem is spreading everywhere.


Down in Piedras Negras you gotta watch yourself
There's a whole lotta hungry people lookin to share some wealth
And when the oilfield's busted and the peso takes a dive
Stay off the side streets if you wanna come back alive
Yo no busca nada I'm just standin here
Mindin my own business, gonna get back outta here

Back to the safe side
Back to the safe side

And at the base of the barstool there's a drain in the floor
You better not go in there, if you don't know what that's for
It's no place to take your lady, she'll get the evil eye
Sizin up their prospects, sharpin up their knives
No me gusta nada, yo no queiro ver
Once I get across this river, never gonna go back there

Stayin on the safe side
Stayin on the safe side

"Stay on the Safe Side"

Perry specifically mentioned the “criminal element" with distinct emphasis...which might fall under certain guidelines in calling out the nat’l guard?
