Militia groups should help out as needed as well. Put them where they can keep an eye on the feds at the same time.
Remember The Alamo and Forget Obamo.
Wendy Davis (D) not only supports his move but wants deputies and law enforcement sent down there.
And you're in Texas and don't know this ?
Her words:
But State Senator and Democratic Gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis of Fort Worth blasted Governor Perry’s announcement. “We need boots on the ground there but the Governor has sent the wrong boots to be on the ground.”
Davis also said she’s disappointed the Governor hasn’t called a special legislative session to hear local leaders from border communities tell what they need.
Other Democrats, including State Representative Roberto Alonzo of Dallas say Governor Perry is unnecessarily militarizing the border. “The kids are not causing a problem that would necessitate having one thousand troops.”
So Who is not informed here, seems like it ain't me

Ah yes..Dems "after the fact" with what Perry "should have done instead".
Davis is supporting him indirectly if you read between the lines.
But we can't have Dems coming out and doing that these days, can we ?
I'm no fan of Perry but the Dem opponent you guys put up for Governor last election made me vote for Perry.
And now you have Davis..a self proclaimed progressive who is trying to act conservative enough to get Texas votes.
Despite rush of children, undocumented immigration low - El Paso Times
"Here's a look at some numbers on the immigration situation.
-In the last budget year, Border Patrol agents arrested about 420,000 people, most of them along the Mexican border. That followed a three-year trend of near record low numbers of apprehensions.
-Overall, the number of immigrants caught sneaking across the border remains at near historic low levels.
-The last time so few people were arrested at the country's borders was 1973, when the Border Patrol recorded just fewer than 500,000 arrests.
-The number of people being arrested at the border remains dramatically lower than the all-time high of more than 1.6 million people in 2000.
What makes the situation on the border today different is who is crossing and where.
-Since 2012 the number of unaccompanied children caught at the border has been steadily rising.
- Most of the border crossers are being caught along a narrow stretch of border in the Rio Grande Valley in Texas, taxing resources in a single corner of the border.

Oh, I am so sorry I did not know we were supposed to be reading Between the lines, darn, the space between the lines on my screen are just blank. So if there is nothing there do we get to make up stuff and say that us what they really meant?
I did not like the last candidate last time either but could not in my right mind vote for Perry, he is an embarassment to the Great State of Texas.
I will vote for Davis this time around, she won't win but come the next election cycle and if she runs it will be very likely she will win, Texas is slowly but surely getting tired of the BS that has been coming out of Austin for years now. Within 10 years Texas will be once again Blue, count on it.

Where are the Anne Richards types or the Bob Bullock types these days ?
You act like Texas has always been Repub.
Dems had 39 Governors in the state's history compared to 5 Republicans.
The kids are the anchor. The rest of the families will follow.
This is what too many people do not seem to understand. I can't believe how many actually think these kids got here all by themselves with no strings attached.

I wish we had more of them.
Actually that is why I say it will go back, the Repubs have not been the best thing for Texas, especially the last two Repubs supposedly leading the state and one went on the screw up the oval office and the other wants to do the same. It is only outsiders that believe Texas has a long history of Republican rule and nothing could be further from the truth.
