AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The billions of dollars that Texas has spent on border security in recent years will no longer include a lengthy Texas National Guard deployment.

Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced Monday that Guard members who remain on the U.S.-Mexico border will begin taking federal orders this month. The transition comes three years after Texas started using the Guard in a largely surveillance role.

Lt. Col. Travis Walters is a spokesman with the Texas Air National Guard. He says about 100 service members remain on the mission. Walter says the federal government will pay more than $2 million to fund them through September.

Abbott signed a new state budget in June that includes spending another $800 million on border security through 2019.

Finally! Now increase that number by about 5,000 and lets kick some butt!! Trump has totally got this figured out. Just watch him work it, piece by piece, one way, this way, another way, all day.

Round them up, put them in Federal Tent City and process them OUT within 24 hours.

Hand ALL minors over into the care and custody of their President! They can set up detention centers on THEIR soil and take care of their children. Stop this human trafficking!
