exas Gov. Rick Perry plans to announce he will activate the Texas National Guard at a news conference Monday in Austin, said state Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen.
Hinojosa did not have details of the effort, but an internal memo from another state official’s office said the governor planned to call about 1,000 Texas National Guard troops to the Rio Grande Valley — at a cost of about $12 million per month.
The troops will join the Texas Department of Public Safety in its recent surge to combat human smuggling and drug trafficking amid the influx of mostly Central Americans illegally crossing the Rio Grande. Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, and Texas House Speaker Joe Straus announced the $1.3 million per week effort last month.

Interesting that one of the comments has a different view of Obama and the Democrats than OT.
According to the National Center on Family Homelessness,
"the Obama Administration and the Democratic Party could care less about the well being of American children and American veterans. Their loyalty lies with foreign nationals and big business who seek cheap foreign labor."
National Center on Family Homelessness:
"Every year, hundreds of thousands of American families become homeless, including more than 1.6 million children."
National Coalition For Homeless Veterans:
"Roughly 40% of all homeless veterans are African American or Hispanic, despite only accounting for 10.4% and 3.4% of the U.S. veteran population, respectively."
"About 1.4 million other veterans, meanwhile, are considered at risk of homelessness due to poverty, lack of support networks, and dismal living conditions in overcrowded or substandard housing."
"Although flawless counts are impossible to come by – the transient nature of homeless populations presents a major difficulty – the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that 57,849 veterans are homeless on any given night."
" Looks pretty obvious to me. The Obama Administration and the Democratic Party could care less about the well being of American children and American veterans. Their loyalty lies with foreign nationals and big business who seek cheap foreign labor."
