Both the governors of Texas and Arizona have teamed up to request urgent assistance from other states to get the border under control:
Governors Doug Ducey and Greg Abbott today urgently requested all U.S. governors to send available law enforcement resources to their states along the U.S.-Mexico border as illegal border crossings, apprehensions and unaccompanied migrant children in federal custody increase.
In a joint letter from Governors Ducey and Abbott, fellow governors were told: “In response to the ongoing surge of illegal border crossings, with the accompanying threats to private property and to the safety of our citizens, Governor Abbott has declared a disaster and Governor Ducey has declared an emergency.”
The letter notes that Arizona’s Border Strike Force has intercepted 284 pounds of fentanyl since its inception. A lethal dose is a mere 2 milligrams, so the Border Strike Force’s actions helped prevent 64,410,064 deadly doses from making it to Arizona’s streets or other states.
“Texas and Arizona have stepped up to secure the border in the federal government’s absence, and now the Emergency Management Assistance Compact gives your State a chance to stand strong with us,” the letter states.
Law enforcement support from other states will provide additional manpower in Arizona and Texas, allowing for the apprehension of more perpetrators of state and federal crimes before they can cause problems in border communities and all states across the nation.
As you well know, the border numbers skyrocketed when Biden came into office and they haven’t showed any signs of slowing down.
There have been many reports lately of increased drug trafficking, increased police pursuits in these border towns, and so much more. In fact there was a story just today of a high speed chase that ended up in someone’s front yard in Texas. It was human smugglers, or course.
I do hope states send the resources needed to help both governors get their borders under control. But honestly, this is really a commentary on the absolute horrific policies of the Biden administration that they’ve unleashed on America and how it’s gotten so bad that governors are begging for help from other states to deal with the disaster.
The entire time the media gives Biden a big pass on it all.
