NEW: Texas Governor Abbott Deploys More Troops

Greg Abbott is speaking.

(AmericanProsperity.com) – Seeking to put an end to the border crisis Democrats created, Texas Governor Greg Abbott is taking decisive action to secure the U.S.-Mexico border by deploying 400 additional National Guard troops.

This bold move aligns with President Donald Trump’s tough stance on illegal immigration.

It also showcases Texas’s firm commitment to protecting American citizens from the ongoing invasion at the southern border.

The Texas Military Department coordinated the departure of the Texas Tactical Border Force, a specialized unit of 400 soldiers, from Fort Worth and Houston.

These troops will join the more than 10,000 Texas National Guardsmen already mobilized as part of Operation Lone Star.

Operation Lone Star is Abbott’s thorough border security mission launched in 2023 in response to what Abbott called “the Biden Administration’s dangerous border policy.”

It has been a crucial line of defense against the illegal immigration crisis, costing Texas taxpayers $11 billion, a hefty price that Abbott has requested Congress to reimburse.

The success of Operation Lone Star speaks for itself. Since its beginnings, Texas has caught over 530,800 illegal aliens, arrested more than 50,300 criminals, and seized over 622 million lethal doses of fentanyl.

These numbers underscore the critical importance of maintaining a strong border presence.

The governor’s decision marks a significant shift from his previous legal battles with the Biden administration over state enforcement of immigration law.

With President Trump back in the White House, Texas has found a strong ally in the fight against illegal immigration.

These additional troops are deployed as part of a coordinated effort between state and federal forces.

The Pentagon is also sending over 1,500 active-duty troops to the border, including Texas, to further strengthen the region’s security infrastructure.

Abbott’s commitment to border security extends beyond troop deployments. To deter illegal immigration, he has announced a billboard campaign in Mexico and Central America.

By doing so, the governor is sending a clear message that Texas is not a sanctuary for those who break laws.

The collaboration between Texas and the Trump administration marks a new era in border security.

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

With Abbott’s support and Trump’s leadership, Americans can expect to see significant progress in stopping the flow of illegal aliens and dangerous criminals into the country.

The deployment of these additional troops is a clear signal that Texas and America will no longer tolerate the invasion at the southern border.
