Gov. Ron DeSantis is sending Florida National Guard and State Guard
members to Texas to assist with placing razor wire along the southern
border, DeSantis announced Thursday.
The Supreme Court ruled last week that the federal government had the
power to remove razor wire and other barriers the Texas government erected
at the border, but Texas National Guard continued placing the wire last
week.
Florida will send up to 1,000 National Guard members and State Guard
volunteers to assist Texas "relatively shortly."
“The goal is to help Texas fortify this border, help them strengthen the
barricades, help them add barriers, help them add the wire that they need
to so that we can stop this invasion once and for all,” DeSantis said from
Jacksonville’s Cecil Airport Thursday morning. “And the states have to
band together.”
DeSantis repeated the inflammatory language Republicans have used to
describe the tens of thousands of asylum-seekers and other migrants
arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border. Those seeking asylum typically turn
themselves in to Border Patrol agents between ports of entry. Other
migrants, including many from Mexico, try to sneak in and evade border
agents.
The razor wire hasn't discouraged migrants; many, including children, are
risking serious injury as they cross through the reams of concertina.
DeSantis lauded the Florida State Guard last week in Kissimmee, telling
attendees at a press conference on semiconductor manufacturing that he
wanted the volunteer guard to help control immigration at Texas southern
border.
Bills currently being considered by the Florida Legislature (HB 1551/SB
1694) allow DeSantis to send the guard to other states.
The State Guard became inactive in 1947 after being established in World
War II to replace deployed Florida National Guard members.
DeSantis revived the State Guard in 2022, and the Legislature increased
funding from $10 million to $107.6 million. The force tripled from 400 to
1,500 members last year.
Other Republican-led states have loaned their own National Guard troops on
border missions to Texas, including Oklahoma and Iowa.
