Florida Sends 800 Soldiers, 300 Law Enforcement Officers To Help Secure U.S. Border In Texas
The Daily Wire ^ | 16 May, 2023 | Ryan Saavedra

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Tuesday that he is sending more than 1,100 assets to Texas to assist Governor Greg Abbott in combatting the illegal immigration crisis that President Joe Biden caused on the southern border with his policies.

The move comes after there were approximately 83,000 illegal border crossings last week amid the end of Title 42 — by far the highest number ever recorded in U.S. history.

“The impacts of Biden’s Border Crisis are felt by communities across the nation, and the federal government’s abdication of duty undermines the sovereignty of our country and the rule of law,” DeSantis said in a statement. “At my direction, state agencies including law enforcement and the Florida National Guard are being deployed to Texas, with assets including personnel, boats and planes. While Biden ignores the crisis he created, Florida stands ready to help Texas respond to this crisis.”

The resources that DeSantis is sending to Texas include: 800 Florida National Guard soldiers, 101 Florida Highway Patrol troopers, 200 Florida Department of Law Enforcement officers, 20 Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers, 20 emergency management personnel, 17 available unmanned aerial vehicles and support teams, 10 vessels, five fixed-wing aircraft with monitoring equipment and downlink capabilities with two aviation crew teams, and two mobile command vehicles with command teams.

No changing diapers! Dropkick their “refugee” asses back across the Rio Grande! All except the infiltrators. Give them a blindfold and a cigarette the way Mehico does. They are increasing America’s “carbon footprint”!

The solution to the illegal invasion is sending Marines to Honduras and Guatemala. The invading nations need to be put down

Look out y'all, we have a neocon knee jerk going on here. Let's invade to stop an invasion. Kill 'em all says bert. I'm certain US invading those country's you mention won't be a green light for more invasion of our border, no siree.

The answer is to lock down our border and make this a Mexico problem. Mexico will act in its on self interest and they will put a stop to this on their own southern border. We need to hire a wall builder.

Not just FL….

24 Republican governors commit to help Texas defend its border

Title 42, which allowed for quick expulsion of foreign nationals who'd entered the U.S. illegally during the pandemic, expired last week and raised fears of new surges at the border.

The governors pledging support in addition to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who is deploying troops and resources in the next 24 hours, include those of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming.

When are the envirowackos going to start complaining about the destruction of the land on both sides of the Rio Grande? You can’t expect those Mexican wolves to want to travel across that trash dump! They’d be stepping in illegal alien feces everywhere. Even those “extinct” moths can’t fly over that crap without throwing up. Come on you enviromaggots! SPEAK UP! You can bet the Ozone hole over that are is huge with all that flatulence and feces covering that land! Let’s go you far-lefties! These are your voters. Get with the program!

Handing out water bottles and releasing them into the population doesn’t help at all. Just eyewash. Texas must detain these invaders and defend its actions all the way up to the Supreme Court. Abbott is weak. All about occasional flashy moves that accomplish nothing.

Left Oklahoma several times to provide search and rescue as a volunteer firefighter. Many times Oklahoma National Guard were there.on orders from OK Governor.
This may be different than guarding the border, but you ask if a Gov. could send Guard out of state. The state would probably receive no federal compensation.
