Last Friday, Texas Governor Greg Abbott held a press conference in Eagle Pass, the border town he has turned into a militarized staging ground for his standoff with the feds. It was his third such press conference in as many weeks. Flanked by his appointed border czar and the adjutant general of the Texas National Guard, Abbott announced that he is building a sprawling 80-acre base camp that would allow the state to permanently “amass a large army in a strategic area.
. That figure includes over $30 million to “mobilize” the camp and $14.5 million in monthly operating expenses. The Texas Military Department signed off on the base camp plan with Team Housing Solutions, a New Braunfels company, which will build and operate the facility. The contract for this project—The camp, which will be situated right on the Rio Grande several miles south of Shelby Park, will feature 51 dorms, 15 “executive suites”, three command centers, two motor pools, boat maintenance facilities, and a helipad, according to the Team Housing Solutions proposal.
