Gov. Greg Abbott says he'll build base to house state troops sent to border

by Michael Karlis

In his latest bout of border grandstanding, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said the state is building a new base to house Texas National Guard troops stationed in Eagle Pass as part of Operation Lone Star, his pricy three-year-old crackdown on border crossings. The new facility, dubbed the “Forward Operating Base,” will house 1,800 to 2,300 soldiers, with the first 300 personnel expected to move in by mid-April, Texas Major Gen. Thomas Suelzer said. Abbott’s office didn't immediately respond to the Current’s inquiry about how much the 80-scare facility will run taxpayers.
