National Guard troops sent to the Texas-Mexico border to stay indefinitely
 

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? National Guard troops sent to the Texas-Mexico border last summer are now in line to stay indefinitely and not come home in March as originally planned, Republican Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Wednesday.

The shift comes only four weeks after Rick Perry, who ordered 1,000 armed guard troops to the Rio Grande Valley in one of his last major acts as Texas governor, was replaced by a successor who has promised an even tougher line on border security.

Gov. Greg Abbott did not attend the announcement and no plans have been formalized. But an extended guard deployment is the latest signal that Texas' new conservative leadership is planning record state spending on border security, even while acknowledging that illegal crossings have slowed dramatically.

Patrick, who also took office in January, would not say how many guard troops would remain. He said maintaining the mission through May would cost an extra $12 million, and that he expects Abbott to call for emergency spending to keep the guard on the border through August.

Nooo, now those poor immigrants could not run from gangs and war, and injustice!! Evil republicans!

I've never understood why we don't deploy our military on our borders and have them patrol there. While I understand there logistics would be insane, it just seems like common sense. Even more so where there is heavy cross border traffic.

keeps em busy

Obama and democrats like those new voters flooding in :winkwink:

Nobody will pay for it. Just like stepping up legal immigration.
Regardless of what congress says, they keep cutting their budget.
They are the only body of government allowed to allocate and spend money.

It's showing itself again while they did not fully fund homeland security in the budget for the year.

Watch what the hands are doing when the lips are moving !

oh the irony....a nation of immigrants complaining about immigrants...

its ok for the USA to drop bombs on the world left and right but it is not ok for immigrants to come to the USA because descendants of immigrants do not like immigrants :1orglaugh

maybe you should deport yourselves the fuck out as well? :1orglaugh

oh right its different because you are "legal immigrants" and they are "illegal" and you made yourselves legal by auto-declaration...

you actually purchased the country from the indians? :1orglaugh

you used your own resources to settle in america? :1orglaugh not committing treason much? :1orglaugh

I can see your arguments so clearly :1orglaugh no I cant just kidding :1orglaugh...continue to amuse me by discussing how you have the right to keep people from doing EXACTLY what your proud proud forefathers did...try to rationalize it, this also amuses me to fuck :thumbsup

Oh, look. This shit again.

Legal immigrants VS illegal immigrants, you moron. Complaining about border jumpers, not about legal immigrants.

Damn Obama

It's not a nation of immigrants complaining.. Just Right Wingers whom think every Hispanic must be an illegal because he's not white. The rest of us understand that it's all just a big show as it wont stop much of anything.

The simple fact is if you want to stop illegals you don't have to patrol the broader, you only have to go after the businesses and people whom hire them and start charging them 5 and 10 thousand dollar fines for illegals whom they hire.

You of course wont see Rick Perry or any Republicans doing that.. Why? Because that would actually be effective and the dirty little secret they don't want to share is most of these right wing states like Texas, FL and even places like Cali all depend on cheap illegal farm labor to keep their costs down..

Added to this illegals help keep Social Security afloat and even add to the economy as well as pay sales taxes & even employment taxes, so the govt can keep stealing money from it.. Not even Right wing politicians really want to get rid of illegals, but they have to put on their little propaganda shows so guys like mineistaken can jerk off to it.

If we really wanted to stop the flow of illegals, we would help stabilize Mexico & it's southern neighbors, then start sending all those jobs we send to China back down to Mexico like we originally started to do.. which would solve the illegals problem.. However not even Mexicans will work for 3 dollars a week like Chinese will..

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh idiot!

Pay no attention to Crisco. The US dropped a bomb on his head when he was a baby and he's still throwing a fit about it.

Fuck You and Obama!!

No one will pay for it? No one has to. In fact, let's make some money doing it. We have five air force bases in Florida - prime fucking real estate. Granted, there will be some clean up costs, but why not trade in prime Florida real estate for some crappy New Mexico land up by the border.

"legal"? :1orglaugh

dude its native american land...you did not "legally immigrate" and "legally ethnic cleanse" the region...you gave yourself auto-legality by committing high treason against the countries that gave you the resources to reach and steal north america from the natives in the first place...

not trying to be hard to children of immigrants/thieves/traitors, just pointing out the humour when somebody tries to stop new immigrants from immigrating to land that is just as much yours, as it is the immigrants because, at least, they are not killing people left and right like your forefathers and slaving up the region and putting the native americans in concentration camps like you guys did with the injuns

come on man you have to see the humour? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

kinda like when you call others terrorists but you drop 1000-s of times more bombs than all terrorist organizations combined...the USA is a funny funny place :1orglaugh

Weed and hashish prices will rise...

It is nuts that a human must obtain a passport to visit another human across an imaginary man-made line on the same planet both occupy.

Anyway, the idiotic left vs right arguments on this topic are always hilarious. Both parties benefit from undocumented workers which is why neither party ever does anything. One just spends more time talking about it.

It scares me that someone as dumb as you is even allowed to vote. Even though I cannot, I'd rather have an illegal vote than someone that does not even know the requirements to vote.

Really basic shit. I am sad that I have to share my vote with idiots like you.

the line is drawn because of criminals! drop the lines and the fun would start!
