Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS), has been funded with $1.3 million per week to implement a law enforcement surge to protect the Texas/Mexico border, as directed by Texas Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, and Speaker Joe Straus.
State Representative Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball) stated “Governor Perry is very angry that the feds are doing nothing about this problem.” She continued stating, “I didn’t expect the feds to do anything.”
Riddle spoke with Governor Perry’s office about the issue and was assured it “is going to be coming soon.” She said Governor Perry’s office is working very closely with Lt. Governor David Dewhurst’s office along with the office of House Speaker Joe Straus.
“They are gathering together everything they need to begin this right away,” Riddle said. She told Breitbart Texas that she could not divulge any information about exactly when, how long, and where the surge would be for reasons of operational security. She also could not disclose what the operational objectives would be at this time.
Riddle said, “We are going to feel this particularly here in the Houston area because of Houston’s role as a command and control center for the cartels–for both their drug and human trafficking operations.” She added that Texas Department of Public Safety Director (DPS) Steve McCraw told her last week that Houston is still the hub for these operations.
Perry Press Release – Texas Border Surge
of course FUNDED wit hFEDERAL MONEY……
If the catch them and turn them over to the Feds they are just wasting their time and money. Just catch em and send them back across the border!
Good for them.
secure the borders. the feds won’t we have to.
buy ’em a bus ticket and send ’em home!
All southern border states need to stick together and protect our own borders. For some reason the feds would rather protect the middle east than The United States, never mind them. This is a lot bigger security concern to Americans than Iraq.
Good for you Texas ! I have always loved Texas and this is one reason why, now if the other states would do the same it would be super. If the whitehouse wants them in I am glad the state wants them out and keep them out.
THANK YOU TEXANS GOTTA GO GOTTA GO
Edward Taylor Well yes, we here in Texas have noticed that there are a great many people here ILLEGALLY from Mexico, as well as Central and South America. HMMMM, could it be that it is because roughly a third of our border is joined with Mexico. Think about it, you jackass. We here in Texas are tired of waiting on the socialist president, dictator wanna be to do the right thing. The only reason he wants the border jumping criminals here is to expand his voter base.
thank you govenor and the good people of the great state of texas
