White House sends team as governor calls for 'surge' on Texas border

The Secretary of Homeland Security, along with senior officials from the the White House, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, Department of Defense and Health and Human Services will visit Customs and Border Protection facilities in Texas on Friday.

The trip was announced as the area continues to struggle with thousands of unaccompanied children flowing across the border from Central and South America

I've always been a strong supporter of Rick Perry, but I'm still mad as h*ll at him for waiting so long to do something about the hordes of illegal aliens flooding over the border into Texas (as per the muzzie's Cloward-Piven strategy plan).

But unless Perry intends to stop them from crossing at all, his efforts are meaningless. If illegal aliens cross and are caught, they will be turned over to the border patrol and it will be business as usual.

Let's just wait and see if he has the backbone to stand up to the muzzie and stop this insanity.

If he doesn't, fellow Texans, you know what to do.

Keep burning up the faxes, emails and phones at the governor’s office and the offices of your representatives!

Demand they stop the massive invasion of illegal aliens into Texas, bringing crime, disease, drugs and unbelievable expense to the state to care for them.

This is sheer insanity!

This was Perry's initial response:

HOUSTON, Texas—Governor Rick Perry (R-TX) appeared on Fox News’ Fox and Friends show and said Texas lacks the resources and manpower to secure the 1,200 mile Texas border... BS!

Other Texas elected officials, speaking on condition of anonymity have told Breitbart Texas that Texas does, in fact, have the resources to conduct not only a surge operation, but a prolonged border control operation that would secure the Texas border with Mexico.

Request for Immediate Texas Border Control

We, the undersigned, because the federal government has failed to act, call on the Texas Legislature to develop and fund a border and port of entry security plan utilizing state and local law...

On the TX member’s Action Board - a link to fax Perry and phone call to make to your R Reps supporting Rep Louie Gohmert’s Fortify the Border Amendment.

You have to be registered at NumbersUSA....it’s worth joining for all of the faxes you can send to your elected officials. These are good guys, who’ve been fighting the good fight for YEARS.

Additionally, anyone can call Perry and anyone can ask their Rep to support Gohmert's amendment.

Mid easterners are migrating to Mexico, learning Spanish, then coming over our border. One of the border town’s tv stations ran a story about what the border patrol is finding there. Prayer rugs, korans, and other trappings of islam. It wasn’t hard to find. I found it on their website. But that news never makes it past the border check points. You never see such news even in the big cities of Texas. The feds have done an outstanding job of keeping information from getting out of the border area.

Exactly. Mexico now ran mainly by the drug cartels bribing officials is the enabler or willing HUB for what is happening. The Mexican government could stop it but won't. They have no reason too.

It's time to teach Mexico a lesson and see how a couple years of closed border and no foreign aid works for them. The so called NAFTA trade agreements all of it has been one huge PITA for American citizens and cost American jobs. A previous administration made matters worse by pushing his NAFTA dream and requiring no reform of the part of Mexico as far as enforcing border, controlling it's cartels, dealing with corruption. We got the short end of that stick.

We need a true American POTUS to give us realistic foreign and trade policies who's family or self isn't vested in the USCOC or Arabic states who has been pushing a lot of this mess here in the states.

I'm not an isolationist by any means. But good fences make good neighbors. Mexico right now is our drunken partying thieving neighbor next door.
