Just three days after newly re-elected Texas Gov. Greg Abbott invoked the “invasion clause” to deal with the border crisis, it was reported the Republican was set to up the ante with the cartels by bringing in some serious military hardware.
On Friday, a Texas Tribune/Military Times report said Abbott’s “border mission is set to include armored personnel carriers designed to carry troops into battle alongside tanks, according to a planning document.”
“The order issued Thursday by Texas Military Department officials to the headquarters overseeing Operation Lone Star reveals that the National Guard will soon deploy 10 M113 armored personnel carrier vehicles to the border,” the report continued.
“According to the order, around 50 soldiers will be trained to operate the vehicles, and state officials will identify 10 positions to station them along the border.” more
AG Garland will seek a restraining order any time now.
abbott should’ve done this a long time ago
I don’t pretend to understand State Vs Fed but what Took Him so Long?
Does the make up of the House of Reps have something to do with it or did he delay to help his campaign by increasing panic?
I’m Honestly asking since SO MANY RePubes have been disappointing lately.
It’s the grey sky brown gas season here in Kansas. I can see myself driving a tank or two in Texas for a few months…Put me in coach, I don’t smoke or date the girls that do….
Remember the Alamo…
^^^ brown grass…
As long as he doesn’t spend more than we “unwilling spent”, protecting the Ukrainian border.
I’m pretty sure it could be an all volunteer force.
There’s a rather gloomy atmosphere here Madalin Stunt Cars.
In other news, that vaunted world-wide spectacle, the World Cup, or Cou de Monde, has produced a tie between the USA & Wales at 1-1 after over 90 minutes.
So fucking exciting I can’t help but shit myself…
Quandry.
Do I root for or against the Austin Fag Patrols making their way to the border.
I can see it playing both ways and like both.
What say you?
The Enumeration of Powers says that immigration is the federal govt’s jurisdiction. Too bad they’re derelict.
113s will be pretty worthless. need to throw up a boatload of empty containers to stem the flow
I wonder what it was about the election that had him wait?
LBS,
Soccer, almost as exciting as comparing Paint Swatches at Home Despot with the wife…

I’m as baffled as the rest of you, but Repulicans have more strenth in numbers… and when it comes to governors they had that before the election, so I dunno. I will say that they should use that majority to coordinate their efforts and stop being cowed by this regime!
With the exception of a few, republican politicians have been making Trump look like the only true patriot around. Ironically they wish he would go away yet they give us no better choice.
Armored personel carriers are “serious military hardware? Then why didn’t we send any of these to Ukraine?
Redirect some armor from Ft. Hood!!!
Time to bring our boys and hardware home from the Ukraine!!
When the plane is going down and the oxygen masks drop, you put yours on first, then your kid’s. You can’t help them if you are unconscious or dead!
Time to take care of OUR country first!
Otherwise we won’t be able to help anyone!!
With just a little bit of automatic weapons fire aimed in the right direction this invasion would come to a screeching halt.
