text: Oklahoma in the houseBusy as hell gathering up needed equipment to take to the Border for the Border Ops going on. Have been attempting to get personnel to go also. They are extremely short handed and in dire need of boots on the ground at the Border. This is armed security working in two different levels in conjunction with the Border Patrol and National Guard. People with the level 3 armed security license will be a mobile unit. Those who do not have the license will be manning observation post along the border on private property. At this time the NG is in the process of building new roads along the border and building observation pads for us to use. Since this is a self funded operation they are also asking for equipment they need. I am gathering up all I can to deliver when I go back the first of June. Asking all States to consider building teams to send down for at least one week at a time. It is a Long drive for us in Oklahoma it takes 12hrs to get to the FOB but we'll worth the trip.I know I am going to hear why all the Government does is give them a free pass. Yes for most but not the cartel and human traffickers. They go to prison either here or deported to serve jail time in their country of origin. Just inthe month of March a total of 11,000 were imprisoned or deported. That's a fairly significant number. So if you think it is useless think again. I have been there and going back and planning on going for 2 weeks every quarter. May not sound like much but it's all I can do fir now. At least I can tell my grandchildren that at least I did something. What can you say when asked? End of rant just that I am seeing the problems from angles the news never reports and I get daily briefings from people that are on the Border and working their ass off to help keep residents safe. It's now up to you to decide what should be done.
