Re: Texas National Guard on High Alert
!!!!! State Senator Dan Patrick… “TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD ON ALERT”!!!!! / If Violence Escalates in Mexico, Texas Officials Plan to Be Ready.


Texas State Senator, Dan Patrick, was on FoxNews this morning at 8:45am. He said he had some “breaking news to share”. Boy was it!!! The Texas State Legislature had been trying very hard to get the Obama Administration to respond to a critical situation on the Texas Border. The Administration had not gotten back with Texas as of last night. So the State of Texas told Washington D.C. basically they could go jump, and “we’ll take care of Texas!”. As of last night… the Texas National Guard has been put on High Alert!!! This is the first time in history! Texas tried, desperately to get Washington’s approval… but when they could not get it… they acted on their own. Which I say…. it’s about damn time!!! I personally applaud the guts it took to defy the Fed’s and act in our best interest! In case you are unaware of what the problems are …. Sen.
Dan Patrick spelled it out nicely!

1) 100’s of PRO-DRUG CARTEL Mexicans were blocking the entrance to the United States, yesterday and today, banging cars, shouting and holding signs. 10 people were killed Wed.
and 12 more yesterday at the border (5 of which were children!!!)

2) They aren’t sure … but they think the Drug Cartel is paying the demonstrators to do what they’re doing.


3) This will spill over into the States! Mr. Patrick, and the other State officials,.
are convinced that road-side bombs and car bombs will make it across the border and WILL NOT allow that to happen!!

4) Mexico is breaking out in Civil War in the western part of the border and they expect it to spread the entire border with no end in sight.


5) The National Guard will be activated as the scenario worsens and is on Alert now and will remain so until (and IF) Washington does something to end the danger on the border (Yeah… like that’s gonna happen!).

Recent border violence tests spillover plan

[link to www.themonitor.com]
February 21, 2009 - 11:15 PM
Jeremy Roebuck

As protests and gunfire erupted last week across Reynosa, Hidalgo County authorities stood prepared at the international bridges, ready for any possibility.

With mobile command units connected to statewide intelligence centers and dozens of officers armed to confront potential threats, law enforcement officials responded to Tuesday's violence like they never have before.

The incident prompted state officials to enact for the first time a border-wide emergency plan developed to address threats from Mexico's ongoing war against its entrenched drug cartels.

Dubbed the "Operation Border Star Contingency Plan," Gov. Rick Perry's office drafted the policy with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies last year to prepare for the possibility of violence spilling over into the United States.

"The most significant threat Texas faces is spillover violence from Mexico's drug cartels," Perry's homeland security director, Steve McCraw, told state senators at a hearing Wednesday. "You can never be too prepared."

CONTINGENCY PLAN

Last year, more than 5,700 Mexican citizens died as a result of drug-related violence, according to estimates by the country's attorney general's office. Some 260 more have been killed in cities such as Ciudad Juarez just in the first two months of this year.

And as Mexican President Felipe Calderon continues his administration's three-year crackdown on the nation's crime syndicates, those numbers are only expected to rise.

Texas has yet to see widespread outbreaks of open drug violence on this side of the border, but its status as a primary smuggling corridor makes it vulnerable to potential attacks, state officials said.

"These groups don't care about boundaries," McCraw said. "They don't care about how we organize ourselves."

The protests Tuesday at border crossings in cities such as Reynosa, Nuevo Laredo and Ciudad Juarez drew thousands of demonstrators but remained relatively calm. A separate Mexican army raid on a suspected Gulf Cartel safe house led to a shootout that killed at least six later that day.

The violence remained confined to the Mexican side of the border, but the incident provided a good test run for the lowest levels of the Border Star contingency plan, said Katherine Cesinger, a spokeswoman for the governor.

"We're doing what we can to fill in the gaps from a state level," she said.

Throughout the day, a central operations center in Austin sent constant intelligence updates to state, local and federal law enforcement agencies up and down the border. They kept in constant contact over a designated radio band as the situation developed.

That state of heightened alert makes up the lowest level of response outlined in the security plan. While individual response policies have been developed for five border regions across the state and Texas' coastal bend, officials remained tight-lipped regarding many of the specifics, citing security concerns.

But local law enforcement officials who helped develop the plans say they address several potential scenarios ranging from violence close to the Texas border to sustained attacks on U.S. citizens and law enforcement in Texas.

At each increasing threat level, different local, state and federal authorities will be called in to establish order, they said. In the direst situations, the governor could dispatch the Texas Army National Guard to help maintain the peace.

THREAT OF COLLAPSE?


So far, the plan addresses law enforcement concerns only, state officials said. It does not provide for other possibilities such as effects on the local economy or increased levels of refugees and asylum seekers.


While state and local officials have called a full-scale government collapse unlikely, Cascos predicts the security situation along Texas' southern frontier will only continue to deteriorate.

"Until Mexico gets a handle on the activities going on over there," he said, "these problems are going to continue making their way to this side."

I'll vote too. Once they get across the border, they move into inexpensive apartments, with mostly citizens, and their unsupervised teenagers roam in gangs through the neighborhoods. We had a 15 year old kid shot here, apartmet complex, a month ago because he stepped out of his front door at the wrong time. This is a nice part of the city, outskirts. I hesitate to even check my mail.
