Republican Gov. Tate Reeves announced on Wednesday the deployment of Mississippi National Guard troops to the southern border, saying that every U.S. state has become a border state, with trafficked drugs impacting the entire country.
Reeves, who mobilized the National Guard in response to an urgent call for help from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, expressed concerns over the Biden administration’s handling of border security, citing the influx of drugs and illegal immigration as a threat to public safety.
