Breitbart – by Bob PriceUPDATE: Texas Governor Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, and Speaker Joe Straus today directed the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS) to immediately begin law enforcement surge operations on the Texas/Mexico border. The DPS will attempt to combat the flood of illegal immigration into the state in the absence of adequate federal resources to secure the border. State leaders have authorized approximately $1.3 million per week to fund border security operations.
Perry Press Release – Texas Border Surge
HOUSTON, Texas—State Representative Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball) told Breitbart Texas she spoke with Governor Rick Perry’s (R-TX) Office and they confirmed the surge to deal with the Texas border crisis is about to begin. Details are not available at this time, but Riddle said, “It is going to happen.”
Riddle spoke with Governor Perry’s office about the issue and was assured it “is going to be coming soon.” She said Governor Perry’s office is working very closely with Lt. Governor David Dewhurst’s office along with the office of House Speaker Joe Straus.
“They are gathering together everything they need to begin this right away,” Riddle said. She told Breitbart Texas that she could not divulge any information about exactly when, how long, and where the surge would be for reasons of operational security. She also could not disclose what the operational objectives would be at this time.
Riddle said, “We are going to feel this particularly here in the Houston area because of Houston’s role as a command and control center for the cartels–for both their drug and human trafficking operations.” She added that Texas Department of Public Safety Director (DPS) Steve McCraw told her last week that Houston is still the hub for these operations.
Riddle said, “Governor Perry is very angry that the feds are doing nothing about this problem.” She went on to say, “I didn’t expect the feds to do anything.” Breitbart Texasreported on June 17 that Governor Perry expressed his frustration with the Obama Administration on Fox New’s Fox and Friends Show.
Riddle reiterated several times that “this is going to happen very soon.” She said that with the cooperation of the Governor, Lt. Governor, and Speaker this can come together without the need for the special session being called for by several legislators and grassroots activists.

National Guard…………….Gov. Perry should issue ‘shoot to kill’ order on these criminals……Texas Nationals should all be armed ……..in 1968 then mayor Daley issued shoot to kill, shoot to maim orders during the Dem National Convention…….that stopped the looting
Rick Perry is “issuing” BS, pure and simple. All DPS will wind up doing is helping to process these illegals, taking the gang members and signing them up to join DPS to be used against us “trouble makers” here in Texas.
I wonder though what the “Texian Nationalists” will do about this…especially since they have NO REPRESENTATIVES in the Big Bend area, where I am sure some of these illegals will brave desert, lack of water, mountain lions, etc. to come here illegally.
Hey Rick, there’s this new thing called a NATIONAL GUARD!! Ever hear of it, you cross-dressing son of a bitch???!!!
This is bullshit propaganda to calm the masses for awhile and NOTHING will get underway. If anything, they are just going to help the crime rate in Houston, but not in Laredo and all of the other REAL border cities. This is nothing but a dog and pony show.
Sending the DPS is like sending a meter maid to do the job of controlling the entire population of NYC. It’s pointless. They won’t know the first thing on what the hell to do and have ZERO experience in it and it’s NOT THEIR JOB!!! It’s the NATIONAL GUARD’S JOB!!!!
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? SEND IN THE NATIONAL GUARD, YOU FOOL!!!!! 😡 😡 😡
Ck. your email, NC. 😉
I agree with Henry, Perry is just sending people down there to aid the invasion because they can’t have We the People doing it because that would screw up their plans, so like the Bundy incident, they will look for an excuse to shoot We the people, not to secure the border.
