STPRA Representatives attended the Protect Your Texas Border Summit hosted by Texas Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples Monday at the state Capitol in Austin.
The summit included the release of a commissioned report on the Texas-Mexico border situation by retired General Barry McCaffrey, former director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President Bill Clinton and former commander of all U.S. troops in Central and South America, and retired Major-General Robert Scales, the former commandant of the U.S. Army War College.
The report offers a military perspective on how to best incorporate strategic, operational and tactical measures to secure the increasingly hostile border regions along the Rio Grande River. It also provides sobering evidence of why Texas landowners and officials have called for increased federal support to defend the border.
