McCaul Statement on Governor Perry Deploying National Guard to Border
Statement
Issues: Immigration
Today, following Governor Perry's announcement of his intention to send up to 1,000 National Guardsmen to the border as a force multiplier and to act as a deterrent to further illegal crossings into the United States, Congressman McCaul (TX-10), Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, released the following statement.
McCaul: "The use of our National Guard as a force multiplier is long overdue, and something I have called for in my border security bill as part of a strategy to help the Border Patrol gain operational control of the Southwest Border. I applaud Governor Perry for once again doing what is within his authority to secure our borders while this president continues to abdicate his constitutional responsibility."
