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
all states should be doing that if the federal government wont then state to state should take it in their hands.
I know they’ve ask for. $30M, is this in addition to the $1.3M a week?
GOOD JOB TEXAS
I understand the complaints, but if any of us needed to escape our own country to feed our families, we’d be crawling over/ swimming across too. Having Mexicans do the work in this country has kept costs down. There is a price for that, but we want the baby w/ out the labor pains & it just doesn’t work that way.
Today, there’s so much crime w drug lords that we have take action to protect citizens…that is very real!!
I don’t have all the answers. 🙁
Go Texas!
If the Border gets Secured Others will have to do it because O will Not !
