Texas Gov. Greg Abbott taking matter in his own hands and is sending 500 troops to secure the US-Mexico border.

FTA: Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has called out President Joe Biden’s lack of attention to the resurgent border crisis, and now is taking the matter into his state’s own hands.

The Texas National Guard will be deploying 500 troops to the southern border with Mexico to stem the illegal activity at the border, Gov. Abbott announced.

“We will work to step up and try to fill the gap that the federal government is leaving open by making sure we deploy every resource, whether it be Department of Public Safety or Texas National Guard, whatever we need to do,” Abbott told reporters at a news conference Tuesday in Mission, Texas.

“Texas is going to fight for the safety and security of our state.”

Also, the DPS is adding about 1,200 state police officers to the region, and the bolstered National Guard forces will arrive by the end of the week, Stars and Stripes reported.

Morning, Gran.

Praying these troops being sent, by Gov Abbott, are not just bark, but will have bite.

Not just there to help get these illegal “kids” and “families” settled.

Let’s see them/these Xiden voters sent back!!

What you posted reminded me, yesterday I was wondering that sense New York or Massachusetts can say that nobody can enter their state unless they’ve been in quarantine first, why can’t Texas do that? That would include the illegals.

I hope it’s for crime control and not to babysit.
