Utah Gov. Spencer Cox on Friday announced he will send state troopers and Utah National Guard members to the southern border in Texas after receiving emergency aid requests from the Lone Star State. The Utah National Guard will send five soldiers from its engineer battalion on Feb. 26 to help maintain military equipment at the border, and the Utah Highway Patrol will send one sergeant and four troopers from its Criminal Interdiction Team, which specializes in drug investigations. The law enforcement officers will be deployed for 30 days, and the soldiers for two weeks. "Open borders threaten our national security and if the president and Congress won't solve the influx of people and drugs, states have to step up," Cox, a Republican, said in a statement. "Right now, Texas needs our help and we're grateful to our National Guard members, state troopers and their families for their willingness to serve and keep us safe."
I hear the Arizona border is the hot spot now.
Yeah, the Biden administration is trying to piss off Arizona even further and blame it on Texas, Abbott, and Paxton.
Sounds like he needs to send them to Times Square.

Well we know that thieving bitch Hobbs won’t be putting up any razor wire.
State Troopers?
For some reason, members of the Utah Highway Patrol have traditionally been referred to as troopers. State police basically. They use to have a requirement to be like 6’4” or taller, I remember these giants when they came to my home county to keep the peace during a coal miner’s strike.
Right On.
UT State Troopers, aka UHP, are aces at detecting vehicles transporting bad things.
