I've seen people post picture here of their Falcon gunship/fishing boat, well the real deal is coming, at least the gunship part. Saw this last night on Fox news in Austin. (Probably should go under boats and motors.) But for impact here it is. Texas DPS is launching 6 new 34', machine gun-equipped vessels for patrol on border lakes, Rio Grande and coast. First is being deployed in January. There is a video of the boat and story on Fox's website. Fox news - Austin

Now that is what I am talking about!!!!
Now put up a fence, man a station with a couple of guns like that ever 400 yards across the entire length of our countries border and we have a decent start....then start bunker bombing the tunnels they are building and we make progress.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

another collosal waste of our tax money if more people actually paid federal income tax there would be more outrage until illegal foreigners respect our borders 6 boats like this wont matter.

Waste of money? Not in my opinion. If you fish Falcon, you would welcome the extra LE presence! I have seen one that the Coasties had on Falcon and it is impressive! And if DPS starts regularly patrolling the Rio Grande, it will be a good place to fish again! I use to enjoy it, living close by, but without a continious LE presence, I don't feel safe.
