Republican governors deploy 'strike force' to secure border amid surge in migrants
Fox News ^ | 4/19/22 | Louis Casiano , Bryan Preston

A group of 26 Republican governors is launching a multi-state partnership to secure the southern border as the number of migrants being detained and appearing at the border continues to increase.

The American Governors’ Border Strike Force will target cartels and criminal groups by increasing collaboration, improving intelligence, combating human smuggling, and stopping drug flow among each of the participating states, according to a group memorandum outing its mission.

"President Biden has failed to secure the border, and it has deteriorated into a warzone that is threatening all of our communities," South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem told Fox News. "South Dakota has sent the National Guard to the border. Republican Governors are launching a Border Strike Force to secure our communities and partner together to protect our people."

The initiative is modeled after the Arizona Border Strike Force launched by Gov. Doug Ducey in 2015. That program has resulted in the seizure of 801 pounds of heroin and 985 pounds of fentanyl, among other drug seizures, since it started, Ducey's office said.

"What we’re doing in Arizona works," he said in a statement. "But this is not just an Arizona issue, it’s a national issue. If our entire southern border isn’t secure, our nation isn’t secure. As dangerous transnational criminal organizations continue to profit from holes in the border and fill our communities with drugs, it’s no coincidence that we’re seeing historic levels of opioid-related deaths."

The other states involved in the effort are: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.

So what’s the point? The point is if you wanted to keep illegals out you should have gotten 10 people to vote for Trump and gotten those 10 people to get 10 people and you should have FOUGHT LIKE HELL for Trump when he was here. But since nobody really DID THAT it is what it is. The plan is to not give up and say what’s the point. Do what can happen. Also it’s not WHAT ARE THEY/WE GOING TO DO, it’s YOU. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?????????

I don’t understand why Congress can’t authorize the Department of Defense to protect the border.

1. It is a serious security breach.
2. DOD is charged with the defense of the nation from all foreign powers.
3. We are being invaded by foreigners.
4. Federal law is being willfully violated.
5. There is a break down of law and order.
6. The Border Patrol and INS are unable to function.
7. The posse comitatus law definitely does not apply.

Why did they wait so long?

While I full support this initiative, it will have little impact on illegal immigration. Drugs yes, immigration no.

Any aliens apprehended can't be removed by anyone but the fed-gov. All will have to be turned over to DHS who will promptly release them to a neighborhood near you.

That's just the way it is :(

Everybody that I know voted for PDJT.

I, probably, got at least 100 votes for him.

Convincing people who hadn't voted in years or never voted to register and vote.

Gave rides to neighbors, to the polls.

The system is, obviously, rigged and our vote doesn't count.

All of the Demonrats and, probably, half the Republicans are owned by the Swamp and the CCP.

If the people that we elect, our representatives and senators refuse to fix the problem, what am I supposed to do?

I'm open to ideas.

You’re supposed to just keeping voting for the R
No matter how bad they are

Re-electing Amnesty Senators is not going to stop this.

Biden Admin. is a road block. Their goal is to destroy the country, break it down and rebuild it with a Socialist Model. The people entering the southern border are the new Democrat Socialist Party.

Biden is compromised because he is obligated to those who gave his son and him money. Biden has no obligation to the American people. The oath he took to defend the country has no meaning to him.

“will discuss collaboration on safe, orderly, and humane migration throughout our hemisphere.”

Collaboration on ending the USA.

I remember when social services were denied to immigrants.
