The whole thing is not setting well with the Texas State Troopers I know, either. They are tired of being shuffled back and forth to the border only to have the illegals they capture turned loose by Border Patrol. They are tired of sleeping in motels and worse rather than going home at the end of their shift. They are tired of being away from their families. They are tired of the overtime. They are tired of being Abbott's toys that he uses like a 6 year old uses toy soldiers. In short, they are tired of being used as political pawns. It's not what they signed up for and many have had enough and are leaving. Last week, I told one I know that he could be hired by my department in a heartbeat, make more money and go home at the end of his shift. I left him wondering why not?
