Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) unveiled plans Friday to build a National Guard base camp near the Rio Grande that could house up to 1,800 troops in Eagle Pass, Texas.

“[W]e are building a new Texas Military Department base camp that allows the Texas National Guard to increase and to improve operations in this area,” Abbott said Friday during a press conference in the border city.

“This will increase the ability for a larger number of Texas Military Department soldiers in Eagle Pass to operate more effectively and efficiently,” he added. “Before now, the Texas National Guard had been scattered across this entire region in cramped quarters, away from fellow soldiers, and sometimes traveling long distances to do their job. This base camp is going to dramatically improve conditions for our soldiers.”

It would be a good idea to begin planning bases at the interstate entry points for any possible invasion by the US govt.
Time to secede.

TEXIT!

Needs to add strategic staging areas for LAVs and a few tanks in plain view.

All parking for vehicles faces the border.

Cartel THAT hombres...

Love it. This will drive the lefties nuts.

I can't wait for them to awaken from their drug and alcohol-induced overnight haze and comment tomorrow.

The only way to secure the border: horse cavalry.

At least one full division. Maybe two.

We need a lot more than one.

Maybe they can be allowed to SHOOT the invaders for once.

That long stretch of freeway heading east of Eagle Pass could accommodate two or three more check stations.

Use spent batteries from electric vehicles to build the wall.

A green energy idea I can support would be building an electric fence at the border

[wardamneagle]

The official TX Rio Grande border measurement ranges from 889 to 1,248 miles, depending on how the river is measured.

I think with drones that fences could be superfluous. Have a friend who has a large ranch in the border. Illegals killed four of his guards dogs.
