BREAKING: Rick Perry Deploys Texas National Guard To Defend Border As Obama refuses to take action during the border crisis, the demand for security from the American people continues to grow. Still, the Obama administration has decided to turn their heads, and although they have asked for $3.7 billion to deal with the crisis, only 2% of that will go to border security. Measures are being left up to the states, and Texas governor Rick Perry has decided to send 1,000 National Guard troops to the border. According to a report released by the McAllen Monitor, state troops will be deployed to the western areas of the Rio Grande Valley and to exposed range lands further north. Breitbart Texas reports that law enforcement in the area is stretched so thin, there is only one deputy to cover 900 miles of ranch lands. According to Breitbart, the memo stated, This is not a militarization of the border. The DPS and the National Guard are working to keep any drug and human trafficking south of 83 and with the goal of keeping any smuggling from entering major highways to transport East/West/and North. The deployment of the National Guard will be up to $12 million per month. $10 million of that will go to fund personnel and vehicles, and an additional $2.4 million will be used to buy helicopters.
