Tale of Two Parties: Gov. Perry to Deploy National Guard to Border, Obama Plays Golf

by Elizabeth Nelson

It was suggested by Obama, that we give him Billions to “fix the crisis” he created along our border, and Governor Perry, in Texas, told him during his visit to Texas that it wouldn’t cost near that much to secure the border and start protecting his people, if he would just foot the bill and deploy the National Guard, to fill the holes along the border.  Since the president won't do what is required, Governor Perry now has to foot the bill and do what is right, not only for his State but for our Country.


Texas media outlets are reporting Texas Governor Rick Perry is preparing to deploy the Texas National Guard to portions of the Texas/Mexico border.

State Senator Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa (D-McAllen) confirmed the pending announcement of Perry’s decision to deploy 1,000 soldiers from the Texas National Guard to the border. The goal of the guard deployment is to bolster the work of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) State Troopers, according to Jennifer Saenz, a spokesperson for Sen. Hinojosa.

 

"The senator understands that Perry wants this troop build-up, but is not sure what kind of federal approval he needs for it. He just knows he wants to deploy 1,000 troops there," Saenz said in an article posted on the Houston Chronicle.

He should declare Texas a “State of Emergency” and deploy them, regardless of our feckless inactive, unaccountable “leader, due to his citizens’ constant terror threat. What, you didn’t hear that the MSM National news reports of them being robbed, raped, home invaded, and murdered by illegals coming over the border on a daily basis?  This isn’t isolated to just Texas, but to all of the Border States, so unleashing the National Guard, in tandem with the help of our Law Enforcement would be the ideal plan, since these people are coming over with a mindset to kill Americans.  The Lamestream media isn’t reporting the horrors Texans, and civilians along the Border States, are undergoing at the hands of these “helpless children,” instead, they’d rather push this idiots Amnesty agenda.

On July 18, Breitbart Texas reported that a coalition of conservative, tea party, and grassroots activists met in Austin, Texas at the State Capitol to demand that Gov. Perry deploy the Texas National Guard and call the Texas Legislature into special session to handle the surge of illegal immigration in South Texas.

A press conference is scheduled for 2 p.m. Central Time in Austin to make the formal announcement.  The McAllen Monitor reported an internal memo from a different state official that states the troops will be deployed to the western areas of the Rio Grande Valley and to ranch lands further north.

Breitbart Texas has reported extensively on the problems ranchers face in Brooks County surrounding the city of Falfurrias -- where law enforcement is so strapped, the local sheriff’s office is down to only one deputy per shift to cover the nearly 900 miles of ranch lands.

The leaked memo states: “This is not a militarization of the border. The DPS and the National Guard are working to keep any drug and human trafficking south of [U.S. Highway] 83 and with the goal of keeping any smuggling from entering major highways to transport East/West/and North.”

 

It is estimated the deployment of the National Guard will be up to $12 million per month. Nearly $10 million of that would fund personnel and vehicles, while an additional $2.4 million will be expended on helicopters.

 

The Democrats, of course, are calling this a “ploy” to “make Perry look better,” because they understand this shows Obama for what he is, a weak, spineless, “lead-from-behind” absentee, wanna-be-golf-pro, that would sooner see America a Third-World Country, then any semblance of the greatness what she once
