Texas Tea Party members unveil border security plan

Members of the Texas TEA Party are calling on lawmakers to embrace their border security plan.

State lawmakers return to Austin in about four months, but that's not soon enough for members of the Texas TEA Party movement who met Thursday at the capitol.

"We don't believe they should wait for a regular session. You know what the clock is ticking on this thing and it's costing us plenty, said JoAnn Fleming with Grassroots America.

The call for a Special Session includes a demand that Governor Perry or the Attorney General order a Police Action and declare that a State of Eminent Danger exists in south Texas.

"And you know why we're here? Because what our state government is doing is not going to solve the problem, said Fleming.

With the security surge ordered by the governor earlier this summer denounced as being politically deceptive, the TEA Party has drafted its own border strategy.

Key points include forming a special DPS Border Brigade and activating the State Guard and authorizing the use of state funds for militia patrol units.

The to -do list for a Special Session includes:

-Banning access to social service programs.

-Preventing undocumented children from attending Texas schools.
