Border Sheriffs Perplexed by Rick Perry's Plan to Send 1,000 Troops to Stare at Mexico

Border Sheriffs Perplexed by Rick Perry's Plan to Send 1,000 Troops to Stare at Mexico



 








Why would you spend
millions of dollars sending troops to the border who can't actually
detain anyone? That's what some Texas sheriffs of border towns are
asking in the wake of Gov. Rick Perry's plan to send 1,000 National Guards members to the Texas/Mexico border in the next month, according to the Dallas Morning News.
For them, it would be more useful to spend the money on hiring more
deputies and police, aka people who are allowed to detain migrants. 
 
“I don’t know what good they can do,” Cameron County Sheriff Omar Lucio told the Dallas Morning News.
“You just can’t come out here and be a police officer.” Lucio and other
sheriffs said they weren't consulted before Perry's announcement and,
in Lucio's opinion, the police and Border Patrol agents were handling
the small uptick in crime. "At this time, a lot of people do things for political reasons. I don’t know that it helps,” Lucio said. This
isn't the first time people have questioned the wisdom of sending
National Guard troops to the border. In 2010, President Obama sent over
1,000 troops to the border. They weren't allowed to pursue or detain
immigrants, "or investigate crimes, make arrests, stop and search
vehicles, or seize drugs," The Washington Post reported
in 2011. "Nor do they check Mexico-bound vehicles for bulk cash or
smuggled weapons headed to the drug cartels." Basically, they keep watch
and radio in any suspicious activity. Critics also argued that the
National Guard's help cost an estimated $6,271 per person caught. But
defenders of sending the guard argue they are a deterrent. In the
upcoming deployment, guard officials said they would have some medical
training and be supplied with water. Still, the most immediate reward is
political, and as The New York Times noted, Perry stands the most to gain for being tough on the border. In
2012, one of his major gaffes was calling people "heartless" for
panning his plan to give undocumented students in-state tuition. This
time around he won't make the same mistake. “Drug cartels, human
traffickers and individual criminals are exploiting this tragedy for
their own criminal opportunities,” Perry said Monday. “I will not stand
idly by while our citizens are under assault, and little children from
Central America are detained in squalor.” 4951

I don't think he would survive a debate... Ted Cruz or Ted Poe might have a better chance. I really like Ted Poe, I've been following his career since the mid 80's...

@bubbleyes72: I love Poe but also love having him speaking for us little people.  He's one of the few that will take what we bring to him to the floor.  I dont want to get a bunch of idiots in the senate or congress that wont do what Poe and Cruz do.  Just like Trey would love him as president as well but giving him up to the whitehouse scares me.

You people do realize that Perry has been governor for a LONG time and has NEVER done anything to help the border situation, right?  He talks big around election time, then as soon as he is elected says it is a federal issue.  He doesn't love Texas or America, he is a politician! 4951

@BusyMommy:  You have made a very VALID POINT!!! He's been governor long enough to have placed a solution into plan. 4951
