(DailyEmailNews.com) – Taking decisive action to secure the southern border, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has deployed 400 additional National Guard troops to support President Donald Trump’s immigration policies.

This bold move signals a new era of cooperation between Texas and the federal government in combating illegal immigration and protecting American citizens.

Governor Abbott directed the soldiers to the Rio Grande Valley, a known hotspot for illegal border crossings.

Departing from Fort Worth and Houston, the troops are part of the Texas Tactical Border Force and will be equipped with C-130s and Chinook helicopters.

This deployment is a clear message that Texas is serious about enforcing immigration laws and supporting the Trump administration’s efforts to secure the border.

The move marks a significant shift from Abbott’s previous battles with the Biden administration over immigration enforcement.

Now, with Trump back in the White House, Texas has found a willing partner in Washington to address the border crisis head-on.

This partnership is a welcome change for Texans who have long had to deal with the consequences of illegal immigration on their communities.

Initially launched in response to what Abbott called “the Biden Administration’s dangerous border policy,” Operation Lone Star has been a cornerstone of Texas’ efforts to secure the border.

The operation has already yielded impressive results, with over 530,800 illegal aliens apprehended, more than 50,300 criminals arrested, and a staggering 622 million lethal doses of fentanyl seized.

The deployment of these additional troops comes as part of a larger federal initiative.

The Pentagon is sending over 1,500 active-duty troops to the border, including areas in Texas.

This coordinated effort between state and federal forces demonstrates a united front in the fight against illegal immigration and cross-border crime.

During his 2024 campaign, Trump promised to secure the border and proposed strong immigration policies, including mass deportations.

With his return to office, these promises are now being put into action, and Texas plays a crucial role in implementing these policies.

Governor Abbott has also taken proactive measures to deter illegal immigration at its source.

He announced a billboard campaign in Mexico and Central America, warning potential migrants of the consequences of entering the United States illegally.

This multi-faceted approach shows Texas’ commitment to addressing the immigration crisis from all angles.

The deployment of troops is a significant step as their presence will provide crucial support to Border Patrol agents and other law enforcement personnel working tirelessly to secure the borders.

As Texas continues to lead the charge in border security, Governor Abbott has requested that Congress reimburse the state for the $11 billion spent on these efforts.

This financial burden, shouldered by Texas taxpayers, highlights the need for a thorough federal solution to the immigration crisis.

With Trump’s executive orders declaring the border situation an “invasion” and Abbott’s unwavering commitment to border security, Americans can rest assured that their safety and national sovereignty are being prioritized.
