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

Texas should start a trend for all border states – and hire former veterans to become part of the “new” border patrol. You always hear about the struggles they have to find employment upon returning to civilization from their deployments. What a win win situation that would be! They would be overly qualified for that position as well as perform the job better than most! And with honor I might add! I for one would have no problem even if I had to pay a state tax to support a project such as that!
We might as well go ahead and succeed the way things are looking .
good reason to have all the military equipment at the borders so much easier to secure when you got equipment that was designed for all out war
First of all if they are transporting illegals on jet skis then have snipers disable the jet skis and let them to float down river. Those that get across then immediately put them on boats to the middle of the river where the border is and give them life preservers and make them swim back to mexico.
Im not a huge fan of Perry. Hes sold most of Texas to the chinese but that being said, the man puts my state first. Makes me proud to be a Texan. Lets secede and vote in Ron Paul as the President of the Republic of Texas.
Shoot them all and build a wall of bodies!
