Indiana Joins Texas Governor Abbott in Addressing Border Crisis

by

The state governors of Georgia and Montana have expressed their support for Texas by offering to send their State National Guard to the border. This shows the strong solidarity among the governors in addressing the border situation.

Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb announced on February 12 that he would be sending the National Guard to the border.

Indiana is dispatching 50 National Guard troops to Texas, as reported by The Hill.

Governor Holcomb shared on X:

“Effective immediately I am deploying the Indiana National Guard to support the ongoing border security mission in Texas.”

“Federal negligence enforcing immigration law and the failure to secure our country’s border jeopardizes national and economic security, affecting every state, including #Indiana.”

Governor Holcomb stated, as reported by Spectrum Local News, that:

“We’ve worked too hard in Indiana attacking the drug epidemic for more Hoosier lives to be put at risk by a constant supply of killer drugs spilled over an open U.S. border. The only way to resolve this is to stop the historically high flow of illegal immigrants crossing the border.”

Governor Abbott may have been aware of the additional support from states, as per Spectrum Local News.

“More National Guard & razor wire barriers are coming to the Texas border. We’re doubling our efforts to expand the areas where we are denying illegal entry into Texas. Illegal immigration is now going down in Texas while increasing in CA & AZ.”

Governor Holcomb is joining other Republican governors in providing military assistance to Texas. This includes Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Montana Greg Gianforte, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and several others.
