As California Fights Trump Over Troops At Border, Texas Has Perfect Response.
As rumors circulate over California possibly backing off of its commitment to send National
Guard troops, to President Donald Trump for border security operations, Texas just delivered
the perfect response.
It puts the "Golden State" to shame.
According to Daily Caller, the ultra-liberal Governor of California Jerry Brown may be
refusing to answer President Donald Trump's call for troops to secure our border with
Mexico.
Disagreement over the duties that will be expected of those troops continues.
Brown initially indicated, through a letter on Wednesday, April 11, 2018, to Homeland
Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Secretary of Defense "Mad Dog" James Mattis, that
he would send 400 troops.
Brown's letter pledged 400 troops to help in an ongoing program to fight transnational
crime, which included drug smugglers, transnational gangs, and human traffickers.
However, Brown insisted in his letter that the California National Guard members not
be involved in any sort of federal immigration enforcement operations.
"This will not be a mission to build a new wall," Brown wrote.
"It will not be a mission to round up women and children or detain people escaping violence,
and seeking a better life.
And the California National Guard will not be enforcing federal immigration laws,"
Brown added.
Brown's letter did not indicate as to how many of the 400 California National Guard
troops would join the 55 guardsmen already stationed on the border.
"The location of Guard personnel and number specifically working in support of operations
along the border, the coast and elsewhere in the state will be dictated by the needs
on the ground," a spokesperson for the governor's office told Daily Caller in an email.
Following Brown's letter, state and federal officials began the fruitless conversation
over what the California guardsmen would be allowed to do after being sent to the border.
Those talks reportedly took a dive and then came to a screeching halt.
According to the New York Post, California and the federal government could not work
out a deal on what the additional troops would be permitted to do, causing the President
to blast Brown on Twitter.
"Looks like Jerry Brown and California are not looking for safety and security along
their very porous Border," Trump wrote.
"He cannot come to terms for the National Guard to patrol and protect the Border.
The high crime rate will only get higher.
Much wanted Wall in San Diego already started!"
This came on Tuesday, April 17, 2018, after Ronald Vitiello, the Acting Deputy Commissioner
of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection, told reporters that Brown decided the tasks
required of the California guardsmen were "unsupportable."
"The governor determined that what we asked for is unsupportable, but we will have other
iterations," Vitiello said.
What a shame and an embarrassment to the people of California and our country.
Brown is supposed to bear the interests of lawful U.S. citizens in his state over those
of illegal immigrants.
Instead, his actions make him look like a disloyal fool.
Following Vitiello's announcement, Rep. Roger Williams (R-TX) had the perfect response
for California's Governor Brown.
During an interview on Fox News Varney and Co with host Stuart Varney, Williams totally
schooled California on what it means to show loyalty to our country and to honor our nation's
sovereignty.
In regards to Brown "balking at sending National Guard troops to secure the border,"
Varney said to Williams, "I'm sure you don't think much to this, vent, please,"
and Williams wasted no time in shaming Brown.
"Well, I don't think much to it, Governor Abbott of Texas is doing a great job.
He's doing his responsibility, as you said, 700 on the ground now of 1,400," Williams
began.
"Jerry Brown sees things totally different," he continued before really laying into Brown.
"I mean, we've got issues down there with drug wars, we've got sovereignty issues,
we've got people coming over, terrorists that want to kill Americans, and I guess he
sees it a little different by not wanting to send his National Guard there," Williams
continued.
"So, that's the difference between California and Texas."
After Varney asked Williams if Brown's refusal to send troops to the border was a provocation
to Trump, Williams responded, "Well, there's no question about it.
I mean, he doesn't favor President Trump, but what's more important is adhering to
the laws of the land, and we need to defend our borders."
He continued, "California has a border, Texas has a border, and I would think Governor
Brown would want to do what's right rather than putting politics over his dislike for
this President."
Varney also asked Williams what the primary reason is for Texas decision to send troops
to the border.
Williams had the perfect response.
"Well, I'm former Secretary of State of Texas and very familiar with what's happening
on the border in Texas.
We've lived with this problem a long time, and you merely go down there and you see those
that are coming over here illegally.
They're coming between the ports, not through the ports," Williams said.
"The tremendous drug war, the drug cartels going on down there has to be taken care of,
and then, there is the sovereignty issue of sovereign borders of the United States of
America.
So, this is not anything to support President Trump, although he's asked, and Governor
Abbott is doing the right thing," Williams continued.
"We've been involved in this with Governor Perry, Governor Bush, in securing our borders
in Texas from people who want to come over here and break the law," Williams added.
I could not agree more with Rep. Williams.
You can always count on a Texan to give it to you straight.
It's no wonder why Texas has such a great reputation for taking a stand when others,
like California, fail to do so.
