to fund the cost of a Board Patrol Force, in the past.

I believe that Abbott just told the State Guard to keep and eye on the U.S. Military and learn how to set up a militarized force, see how to use and get some of the militarized equipment that the Obama Administration is now pushing out of the Pentagon, in order to set up a new DPS Border Patrol Program to fight his war around the border with Mexico.

The Texas Legislature is reworking the funding and work hours of the DPS at the request of Governor Abbott.
