Let's see what common sense says: 1 eagle pass needs to stay monitored using F.S.P. Frees up Texas National Guard to be in areas under greater threat ! 2 maintaining control is why you are not seeing mass crossings having cops in sight keeps the message clear you are not welcome! 3 cop hiding behind any cover history of crimes committed there?

[@TwstedTV]

You people are more worried about the taxes, than the security of our nation. News Nation channel just posted a video along with 7 other news outlets, showing migrants getting severely aggressive with police. They also report that migrants are getting notice on social media that they can assault and commit crimes because there are no consequences to their actions. Seriously misguided information they are following, but they continue to do it. Many CBP officers as well as Texas police and Nation Guard have been injured, as large amount of migrants started to assault police officers as the migrants were forcing their way into the country. So if Florida sends more police to help Texas, then by all means no one should be complaining about them or the taxes used for this help. Just in case this one flew right over all you peoples heads. The US government currently is spending $190 Billion dollars per year on just migrants. Meanwhile Actual Americans are being left homeless in homeless shelters and have been waiting for housing for years, because the government told them that there is not enough funding to help them. But yet the government has $190 billion dollars per year to spend on migrants. In NYC this month alone 19 police officers were severely assaulted. To the point that thousands of NYPD officers are threatening to leave NYC and go to Florida, where they were offered police position with higher pay and not have to worry about migrant problems in democratic states. When a news station asked a few migrants why they commit crimes in NYC and then spend their stolen money in Florida but do not stay in Florida. The response the migrants gave was "Because we can go to prison in Florida" BTW, Biden will not win this election. As I will help to make sure he loses by voting for republicans. enough is enough. We need our country back. Crime is running rampant to the point that National Guard had to be called into NYC. And even then a migrant just yesterday pushed someone onto the tracks and the person passed. NYPD said that this money alone in the subway system, they confiscated over 900 weapons all of them were guns, from criminals with long wrap sheets, and as well as migrants that are being hired by gangs. Migrants are invading the country, and we must put a stop to it, because the biden administration wont do it. Currently biden administration is holding only a 30% approval rating. People want him out of office asap.

Yeah, I see that point. But consider this, you're sitting at a red light and get violently rear ended and the person leaves the scene in a hit n run (felony). 911 is called (Osceola Co.) Told by dispatcher to wait. FHP works all traffic collisions rather than the municipalities or county deputies. After 2 hours waiting dispatcher was called back. Told to wait. Then after 5 hours the dispatcher calls back to advise FHP Troopers won't be responding. Keep in mind no BOLO was put out and no investigation or report was generated. Reports are needed for insurance purposes. Called FHP barracks to complain. Was told by a high ranking commander that currently only two Troopers were covering the WHOLE county, one Trooper and one supervisor. According to him that was all that is required! The point is we have issues in Florida and our resources are depleted. It is wrong to have to wait 5 hours in a gas station parking lot for service. All the while several county patrol deputies visited said gas station during the 5 hours and didn't at least offer a report and document the suspects vehicle.

When states assist other states in this manner which occurs often and especially during times of natural disaster or emergency, the states pay each other, or more often than not establish a quid pro quo relationship- Texas has and would send its personnel when we have a need. FHP does not have jurisdiction in Texas and all agencies operate under the authority of the lead agency which is the Texas DPS. That's why they ride or park together so that there's always a Texas trooper with a fhp trooper. What you saw was presence and observation operations which is only a small part of what happens at multiple locations

Been a resident of Florida in a North Central county for about 7 years and have only seen the FHP cars on the road about 10 times, so I DON'T miss them, they must patrol the interstates mostly. AS a Florida Tax Payer I'm HAPPY they are helping with the boarder, maybe they will branch out to border locations where better needed

I'm not sure if you've ever worked for government. This doesn't surprise me at all. I'd rather them be there as a deterrent as a Florida tax payer.

Florida stands with Texas and I support it. If Federal government doesn’t want to deal with illegal immigration’s let the states take care of it.

Thank God for governors who are willing to protect this country.

You ought to be glad they are doing this and stop broadcasting this because it could be Jeopardizing whatever it is they are doing

I cant seem to find the article/story Mike did about the Billions spent protecting other countries borders... lol

If you're worried about tax payer funds, then check how much is given to illegals.

Great Job Florida and FHP for your service.
