Political theater.

[cripplecreek]

Nothing short of turning them back at the border will work.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

So basically, no one is going to do anything. Our entire politcal class is against us.

[BitWielder1]

That's exactly what I was afraid would happen.
Observe. No mandate to actually do anything.

[ImNotLying]

I guess they are going to put them down there with binoculars instead of weapons. The Border Patrol has already been neutered with orders not to fire their weapons because they will be receiving no more ammo. Just wait till a drug gang ambushes and kills some of the Guard observers. That’s going to go over real well. Is there anyone in a leadership position who has a brain?

[dforest]

What a waste.

[vette6387]

I knew it! Perry is a fraud! He’s just wasting the good citizens of Texas hard-earned tax dollars.

[RitaOK]

If it’s just for appearances and the NG are neutered, maybe they could just stuff 1000 straw soldiers and hang a uniform on them, like they did in the film, The Patriot.

[Gritty]

Shoot to kill.

If they can't do that, then shoot to wound...

[CynicalBear]

And yet some want him for President.

[bobby.223]

Yep. That is ALL it is. Don’t worry tho, the Globalist, illegal lovin’ LaRaza Riccardo Perrynist’s fan girls will be in soon to tell us all how wrong we all are for not buying into his latest fraud/fake scam move. Go Rickeeeeee, go!! Look at his hair! He wears cowboy boots! He carries a gun!!! (Cue Frankie Sinatra Bobbie-soxers like swooning from Riccardo’s toadies here......sigh).

[martinidon]

you can bet flyer's are already printed and passed out to the illegals to pay no attention to those soldiers at the border they will not stop or arrest you. Lawyers are probably already counseling the illegals in Mexico on what to say if they are stopped and questioned. Complete waste of money. Secure the border! Arrest, fingerprint, document and put on the next bus back to Mexico. Cutting off aid and trade with Mexico would rectify this issue within a week or two! We need leaders who know how and have the balls to lead the country!

[Logical me]

Perry is a fool. Just as I suspected the Guard will be useless.

[Tau Food]

Political theater.

This is all about Perry's candidacy for president.

Ted Cruz - 2016!

[rainee]

will they be changing diapers too?

[VRWC For Truth]

Meet the new La Raza Rickie, same as the old La Raza Rickie. He’s a worthless DemocRat.

Nichols said troops will be armed for their safety, but when asked if their weapons would be loaded would say only that ammunition would be in magazines.

"That's about as far as I want to go because if the cartel folks understand what we can and can't do then they may take advantage of that," Nichols told The Associated Press.

OPSEC

You have heard it discussed here before but now you don't get it?

You folks are smarter than that.

[itsahoot]

Any idiot with a smart phone can go to the border and film illegals crossing day or night. We don't need more people to watch the invasion, we need people to repel the invasion.

Sheriffs have the authority to form posses, they should do it because they have law enforcement authority.
