The Texas State Police Now Has A Crazy Gunboat Fleet

Just the drug traders.

What about the illegals? Surely this is meant for a family trying to cross the border.

As far as I am concerned, citizenship status is largely irrelevant so long as you pay taxes (we have a sales tax so they do) and contribute to the society you live in. Now as far as getting full benifits from living in that place illegally, I'm not really ok with that, but we do have to remember and understand that our immigration policy is total crap and stupidly corrupt. So we must keep a lot of perspective on an issue such as this.

I would hope that these patrol boats are largely tasked and directed at drug trafficking, and not necessarily a family trying to cross the border.

No, this is strictly targeted at the drug cartels who every year up their own firing power and transportation to new levels. We leave the illegal stuff to other agencies.
Up until now Texas was hoping the US Government would help out on this issue, but they basically have said we don't care (by not providing any funds) so our own state is putting up the money.
