Tennessee is deploying National Guard members to the southern border as Republican governors continue to support Texas and the illegal immigrant crisis.
“As America faces the most severe border crisis in decades, TN is showing the rest of the country what it means to lead,” the Tennessee governor Bill Lee posted on X. “Today, I joined TN National Guard members who will soon deploy on a voluntary mission to secure the Southern border as the federal government fails to act.”
The first deployment will consist of 50 members and last through March before a second set will replace them later in the spring.
Lee, who visited the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas, earlier this month, met with Tennessee National Guard members at Millington Tennessee Army National Guard Armory ahead of their voluntary deployment.
