>>Exactly what activities were funded, repelling invasion or facilitating invasion?<<

The 1.3 million per week is to fund DPS enforcement along the border region for the remainder of the year. This would include interdiction, vaccinations, detention and so forth.

Granted, I'd like to see the military on the border, but gotta give’em some credit for responding. Better than a sharp stick in the eye.

When the Texas Legislature comes back into session (prefer a special session), border security will be top priority.

No mention of repelling invasion. The invaders will be turned over to fedgov for distribution throughout the United States.

Texas Governor Perry has the authority to call forth the state military forces and the reserve militia to repel the invasion.

Tex. Const. art. 4, § 7 http://www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us/Docs/CN/htm/CN.4.htm#4.7

U.S. Const. art. IV, § 4 mandates the Federal government protect states against Invasion. The Federal government has not performed.

U.S. Const. art. I, § 10 No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.

U.S. Const. amend. X The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

All States retain the right to self defense. The Federal government has refused to provide for the common defense, the raison d'etre for the Federal government. The States must repel invasion or the people will.
