Brandon Darby reports for
Breitbart.com<http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/12/06/Exclusive-Interview-Texas-Lt-Governor-We-Shut-Down-The-Border-Ourselves>,
Dec 7, 2013, that *Texas Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst* announced a
Texas-led three-week effort that he says reduced illegal immigration,
smuggling, and human trafficking to a standstill in the Rio Grande River
section of the U.S./Mexico border.
Dewhurst said:
“In the Rio Grande Valley sector, nearly nothing moved in those three
weeks. We shut it down. We had teams of Texas law enforcement in the brush,
high altitude aircraft, gun boats, and more. Our intel revealed that the
Gulf cartel was growing frustrated with our three-week effort.
The border issue is just about dollars and cents.* This proves Texas can do
the job the federal government has refused to do* — to invest in the border
and shut it down from illegal activities that are hurting Texans and other
Americans. Texas will protect our own citizens and other Americans from the
criminal gangs that are destabilizing our state and our nation.”
The plan, according to Dewhurst, was to do a three-week operation with the
Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) as the tip of the spear. The effort
cost approximately $5 million each month. Dewhurst is seeking an additional
$60 million to be approved by the State Legislative Budget Board.
Texas has purchased a high-altitude spotter plane that can see six miles
into Mexico at night, six new DPS helicopters that can also see at night,
and six armored gunboats to patrol the Rio Grande River.
Dewhurst stated, “We started appropriating money to plug the holes that
exist in the border. We’ve allocated hundreds of millions, as a state,
since 2008. Nearly 796 million of state money, not a dime federal, has been
allocated by the State of Texas to plug the holes in our border. This
covers things like over-time for Sheriffs’ deputies, equipment, and Texas
Rangers SWAT teams [referring to the elite Texas Rangers, an arm of the
DPS].
For six or seven years, I’ve been calling on our congressional delegation
in D.C., we need to at least double, if not triple, the size of our Border
Patrol. *The federal government is not providing the resources. I’ve grown
convinced over the last year that this administration has no intention of
securing the border*.
This is just unacceptable. *We have a problem and everyone knows it except
for the Obama administration and people in high levels of Border Patrol.
Organized crime groups in Texas are contracting with Mexican cartels to be
their enforcers. The cartels' presence are in all of our major cities.
Seven of the eight Mexican cartels operating in Texas are using our state
as a staging area for their operations across the U.S.*”
Illegal immigration is one issue, and we all understand why people want to
come here. I’m a strong believer in legal immigration, but not illegal
immigration. We have young girls being trafficked as slaves for immoral
purposes across our border and through our state. This cannot be allowed.
The bottom line is that we have just shown that we can shut down the border
for ‘X’ number of dollars. We need to find the $5 million per month to make
these operations continuous and replicate what we have just accomplished.”
Dewhurst concluded the interview by stating, “The State of Texas and our
nation deserve better than what we are getting from Washington, D.C. Until
they adopt the Texas approach, we will continue to do what’s right for
Texans and for our state ourselves.”

*Now if Texas successfully closed its borders and stemmed the tide of
illegals and Mexican criminals for three weeks, why can't the federal
government?*
*Answer: Because the POS and his henchman Eric Holder in the "Justice"
Department don't want to. That's why.*
*Nor do the useless Republicans in the useless Congress.*
