Governor Mike Parson, a Republican, announced Tuesday that up to 200 Missouri National Guard soldiers will be activated to support Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star at the southern border between the United States and Mexico.
According to The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Parson visited Shelby Park in Eagle Pass, Texas, two weeks ago with 13 other Republican governors to receive a security briefing on the state’s effort to reduce the unprecedented level of illegal immigration under President Joe Biden’s administration.
“About two weeks ago, I visited the Southern Border, and let me not mince words when I say it is a crisis,” Parson said Tuesday. “The crisis at the Southern Border is fueling the fentanyl crisis here in our state. Missourians are dying; families are being ripped apart; communities are being destroyed, and Missouri children are falling victim. It all stems from the Biden Administration’s reckless, irresponsible, and failing open-border policies. With our Southern Border wide open, every state is now a border state.”

Rise up!!!! Thank you!!!
Texas in the lead...Missouri is on the right side of the Colonel TRavis line in the sand.
I’m glad to see other states recognizing that Biden’s evil border policies impact the entire nation and not just the border states. Kudos to Missouri for pitching in.
