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
Gov. Perry would make a good president.
This is how we stop what is being done.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–
GO TEXAS !!!! WE KNOW ALL OF THEM WILL RESIST SO DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO !!! LIGHT ‘EM UP BIG TIME, LEAVE ‘EM FOR THE BUZZARDS & ARMADILLOS !!!
I was wondering why the state’s can’t control their own border like this. F the feds.
Thank god
BRAVO GOV. PERRY!! DEPORT ILLEGAL”S=NOW!!!
It’s about time the STATES took back the right to protect their citizens!
Think of the bright side of this illegal entry…..black market labor just got really really cheap. It kind of shoots the left’s plans of upping the minimum wage because you can pay unskilled labor a few bucks an hour to do the same Job. Way to go progressives!
Go Carrie! Go Carrie! We have been given the key by which to cure our current Washington issues. Now we should use them.
God bless Texans.
