Why doesn't Abbott put the Texas National Guard on the border?

RINO

You got money for this?

I’m not a Texan, as others have written, I assume he’s scared.

He has all the power and tools he needs to seal the border.

He’s the one choosing to do nothing.

Member when he said he'd arrest those Democrats that left the vote?



Why does anyone fall for any politician's bullshite?

He could do a fundraiser and raise twice what he needs from rational America.

Maybe he could get Bruce Springsteen to headline the event.

Not sure what the steps are for the National Gaurd but the Texas guard could and should be called up. That or he could just simply deputize anyone who volunteers and offer free ammo. There would be 100,000 good old boys there by morning.

I live outside Austin. My kid’s nanny has family 3 hours towards the coast. Her family’s property continues to get broken into as illegals hop the border. They call the cops - the illegals get sent back. The family files an insurance claim. Nothing changes. Sooner or later people are going to start protecting their property with lethal force as the police/ICE don’t do shite.

...there are TX NG units on the border. Shitting in buckets and playing soldier as we speak. One of the other FFs on my department is a medic in the NG, and most of his unit is either deployed to the border or deployed doing covax. He's been gone since just after the freeze, and will likely get reassigned to the border with the rest of his unit when the covax orders expire.

The borders are federal jurisdiction. States can’t do anything about it.
