@macdaddy Below is a idea from Gov Abbott - 500 more troopers. First just how much will it take in equipment , manpower, and money to secure it. Once, you build this workforce, nobody wants to reduce it. Job justification and bigger government that you hate.
Would not it be better to have a work permit program expansion.?
Texas Governor Greg Abbott delivered his first State of the State Address to a joint session of the Texas Legislature and a packed gallery in the Texas House Chamber. During his address, the new governor laid out his agenda for the 84th Session of the Texas Legislature. He stated, as one of his emergency action items that Texas will more than double state spending on border security. His plan will add 500 new state troopers for border security
