“Governor Bill Lee emphasized the ongoing border crisis in America, highlighting the severe repercussions of increased crime, drug trafficking, and human trafficking. Recognizing the lack of action from the federal government, governors are collaborating and swiftly stepping in to secure the border. Governor Lee commended the Tennessee National Guard troops for their crucial role in responding to this urgent call for service and providing vital assistance.”
According to the governor, these soldiers will offer crucial assistance to Texas and Governor Greg Abbott along the southern border.
According to him, the nation is currently facing the most severe border crisis in decades.
