Funny, I sent Dan an email a few days ago requesting that money from the Texas rainy day fund be used to beef up TXDPS and border sheriffs. lol

Dan Patrick, as was Ted Cruz will be one of the best votes I have ever cast.

Go Dan, proud of ya.

Call out the Texas State guard. Block the border. Check all for papers before they can enter, not legal? Sayanara! ( mixing my languAges)
Here’s an idea: any wire transfer of funds out of Texas destined for south of the border is subjected to a 50% exit tariff. Vehicles and merchandise transported on TX roads entering Mexico accessed at fair market value and taxed 25%. That will help pay for schools and hospital for the services the illegals are stealing, or at least a small part!

The governors of Texas, NM and Arizona need to form some kind of coordinated border security plan. If it creates a confrontation with FedGov, so be it. Constitutional crisis? That’s OK too. Something needs to be done with Leviathan and the guy pulling the levers. Now.

Absolutely, I'll be glad to vote for him for Lt. Gov., too. But I think we should say for the benefit of non-Texans reading this that he's not requesting this money as Lt Gov nominee, he's doing it as the current Texas State Senator which he is.

Governor Perry has the authority to call forth the state military forces and the reserve militia to repel the invasion. He can do it TODAY. What is he waiting for?

Yes. Dan Patrick has proven his conservative credentials during his time as state senator and I'm sure he'll do a fine job as Lt.Gov.

Don't let the door hit’cha in the @$$ Dewhurst, you freakin RINO you.

I heard Gov. Goodhair just this morning say on Fox and Friends the state of Texas can’t afford the needed troops. The state has already beefed-up the border as much as it can and that the request from the Feds for money to further fund state efforts has not been responded to for over two or three years by Lord Obama.

Start building a fence or wall, just as Ariel Sharon did. And ignore all orders to cease and desist...just as Ariel Sharon did!

I’ve been to Israel and seen the wall. It’s been very effective at keeping out the invaders and murderers.
