Texas leadership approved an additional $495 million for Operation Lone Star, the majority of which will fund the Texas National Guard deployed along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The funding will go toward implementing border security initiatives such as boat blockades, razor wire at border crossings, and charter buses transporting migrants from Texas to Washington, D.C.

The new funds were broken into two different payments: $463 million to be used for the deployment of the Texas National Guard and the other $30 million for building the state's border wall.

495 million. I think that’s about the amount of the check Soros stroked to BLM and ANTIFA.

As of now, it’s about $4.95 per illegal that has come in the past year.

An ounce of prevention ...

A dollar’s worth of prevention ...

The democrat party chairman Hinojosa complains that by the Texas National Guard building the wall; Gov. Abbott has placed them in harms way.

The idiot is not coherent enough to know that if the Texas National Guard are in danger by illegal aliens, so is the rest of the population of the United States.

“and charter buses taking migrants from Texas to Washington, DC”

Problem; FR threads reporting NGO’s intercepting the mojados in DC and shipping them to where ever they want to go.

Catholic Charities being primary; saving them money on transportation costs.

Beautiful area down there by Campo and Jacumba. Lots of interesting railroad lore. I miss bouncing around rocky tracks in my ‘95 Chevy single cab short bed, sipping Busch lights and taking in the glorious mountain scenery. Always packed my 38 in case I met some bad hombres.

Good times.

Every Weekend in a Jeep.
Camping and chasing Coyotes Banditos and Rattlesnakes.

I sure hope some of that money is buying a few thousand flotation devices. The soldier that drowned was not wearing one.

Have to ampliphy this. It’s the message that matters more than the actual doing. Make it sound like all heel is breaking loose and all the illegals will be rounded up and deported or sent to aushwitz.
