Texas governor sends National Guard to border

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is sending 400 National Guard troops to the El Paso border in an attempt to block the flow of migrants into the U.S. Despite the uncertainty surrounding Title 41, the city plans to house as many as 10,000 migrants. Omar Villafranca has the latest.

I waited 5 years in Syria during the war to get accepted legally to the U.S. ... let's be fair, you cant just walk to the border and expect them to accept you that easy!

I'm still awed by how good they look after being on the road for 3 months.

What about all the homeless already here???

I wish our Mexican government would help keep these illegals from entering Mexico as well. I live in Chihuahua (the state that borders Texas) & I have seen sooo many of these migrants since the Biden administration. Listen I’m all for LEGAL immigration. But don’t just expect to walk into someone’s homeland like that. There’s the right way & there’s the Wrong way. I’m actually currently awaiting on my visa. Sure it’s taking quite some time but it’s going to be worth it whenever I do get it because I did it the Legal way.

Great! Finally someone cares enough to protect these borders!

Keep them out!! Mexico needs to step up!! NOT THE U.S. No one else has an open border policy, why should we? Why is it our problem? I'm Puerto Rican and disabled, why do I have to jump through hoops just to live when foreigners are just allowed in and given U.S. money?!! This is so much BS!!

Don't let immigrant tears change your mind just know we Americans are already struggling

[Lousasshol]

Tough situation but gotta stand firm, these people can survive and thrive prob better in their own land then in u.s. right now

It's not difficult to understand. A man who feeds his neighbor before he feeds his family is a scoundrel and traitor.

[hnmnjpa]

What other country do you see letting people come in droves illegally?! None! Keep ‘em out ! Great job Texas 💪💪

[cocoxtina]

It's a big slap🤦‍♀️in the face for some of us that need proper documentation just to cross the border like Passport, others having to apply for visa & K1 visa, proof of birth certificate & valid 🆔 when u enter the United States legally but all these illegal immigrants just want to enter the country illegaly & expect the U.S government to give them shelter, food, water & other necessities!

Just giving my opinion on this. If someone came into my house unannounced, it would be considered a home invasion. Its the same thing with our country. If some are coming through that are terrorists, soldiers from other places, cartel members, murderers....well...I believe you see what I am saying, its also called an invasion. The Biden Administration is NOT upholding the ultimate law of the land, our US Constitution. What happened to… “ I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies “foreign and domestic?” What happened to protecting the citizens? The Biden Administration is NOT in support of or defending the Constitution of the US! Biden and His Administration should all be FIRED, and tried!! TRUTH BOMB!

[raxstinejrogers]

Turn Them around ALL of them let MEXICO deal with them find housing/shelters etc...were DONE with this!!! RIGHT ON ABBOT!!! RIGHT ON!!!

[remi-qquk]

I'm over here working my a off and still about to lose my house I've paid for and own. But still might lose it over 4 grand in back taxes but yet my government is basically giving illegal immigrants at least that amount then just sending them to fight for them selfs in a random town .

[drinkingoutside]

Also put some barb wire in the water if you really want to stop them

[richardjphilpott]

Republican Guv. Abbott doing the job that Democrat President Biden should have done 2 years ago . Good Job Governor Abbott

[randallflagg]

I'm a Mexican-American born in Texas and proud to be a Texan Governor Abbott keep up the good work I would volunteer to help protect our border

[gzngcfc]

Why Even have a Passport to fly in or out of the United States ? If all you need to do is arrive to the southern border with no Identification needed. They don’t know who they are and just letting anyone pass through.

[giantkillin]

finally a governor doing the senile presidents job..!! God bless the border and those that protect it.!!
