Two states are sending state troopers to the border after Texas and Arizona called for help among the worsening crisis.
There have been more than 900,000 apprehensions at the southern border so far in fiscal year 2021, with 180,034 in May alone. As Customs and Border Protection (CBP) grows more overwhelmed by the day, rather than sending aid to the border, the Biden administration continues to tie their hands. Furthermore, the administration refuses to acknowledge their role in creating the crisis and continues to remove protections set up by the Trump administration. As a result, border communities and states are having to take on the responsibility of securing the border themselves.
Republican governors Doug Ducey of Arizona and Greg Abbott of Texas sent a letter on June 10 requesting that other governors send available law enforcement resources to the border. So far Nebraska and Florida have answered the call.

To paraphrase Bush '43, "You're doing a great job, Kammy."
Did she really visit the Border, or was she skateboarding with Beto?

They shouldn't be sending state troopers.
They should be sending the National Guard, fully deployed.

I would reckon they can hire all the battle-hardened big city LEOs they can handle right now. Got to be a bunch of them fellers that are looking for a place to be.
