California Is "Reviewing" The Request.
Governors Greg Abbott (R-TX),
Doug Ducey (R-AZ) and Susana Martinez (R-NM) have all embraced President
Trump's proclamation to immediately use the National Guard for border security. Abbott said
Trump's action is imperative to "secure the southern border and
uphold the Rule of Law." He said Texas will "implement robust border security
efforts, and this partnership will help ensure we are doing everything we can
to stem the flow of illegal immigration.”
Ducey said
Arizona "welcomes the deployment of National Guard to the border." He
said Washington has ignored the issue and help is needed. Ducey says that for
Arizona, "it's all about public safety."
Martinez
says she is full support and has already spoken to the New Mexico National
Guard.
The Governor also said the U.S. wouldn't be in the current situation if Congress would act on border security reforms.
