What is Perry gonna do? Call the Feds in to stop the militia?
Perry against the citizens of his own state?
I don’t think so.
However, if Perry is not going to lead, then he needs to get out of the way.
Perry, Dewhurst and Straus released a joint letter directing DPS officials to move forward with surge operations through at least the end of the calendar year, using any money allocated for the agency. They noted that previous law enforcement surge operations in the border proved effective.

I see no mention of militia. Directing DPS to the border is a good thing, which should garner a lot of support among the American public. But if the militia start showing up, the media will make sure those are the *only* images the public sees, images of "vigilantes".
