What’s a governor to do when the state Department of Public Safety (DPS) needs help arresting criminal trespassers, drug smugglers, and human traffickers crossing the southern border? If that governor is Greg Abbott in Texas, he calls for the Texas National Guard to help. Abbott is focused like a laser beam on the Biden border crisis because he has to be. Team Biden is too busy denying the reality on the ground to be of much help.
Governor Abbott sent a letter to Major General Tracy R. Norris, Adjutant General of the Texas National Guard justifying his request as a response to the disaster orders he has already issued due to the border crisis.
