Biden Plans Alaska National Guard Deployment to Texas Border, but Not to Support Governor Abbott
President Joe Biden has initiated plans to deploy Alaska National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, a decision that appears to align with his administration’s approach to border control. The move has sparked concerns, particularly in Texas, where Governor Gregg Abbott has been actively securing the border using methods that include the installation of concertina wire atop shipping containers, colloquially referred to as “Operation Lone Star,” in a desperate attempt to stop the influx of illegal aliens into the state.
The decision to deploy National Guard troops takes a notable turn, as it seems geared towards supporting the federal government’s border control efforts, rather than fortifying the state-level security measures undertaken by Texas. President Biden’s move to nationalize a National Guard contingent is seen by many as a response to the left-leaning faction within his base, advocating for a more lenient approach to immigration and border policies. Biden evidently aims to allow more criminals and drugs through the southern border, further proving his ongoing attempts to destroy the country.
The U.S. Supreme Court had ruled in January that the federal government could dismantle Governor Abbott’s razor wire while the legal battle over Texas’s rights to defend against a potential invasion unfolds.
The National Guard deployment plan, set for 2025, has raised suspicions, since Biden’s plan is set to take effect post-election. The Alaska National Guard has been directed to prepare helicopters and personnel for potential deployment in early 2025, providing aviation support to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Alaskan Governor Mike Dunleavy, a supporter of Abbott’s border security efforts, was reportedly excluded from the decision-making process.
Recently, Governor Abbott emphasized that the new Ukraine funding bill, masquerading as a border bill, compromises the states’ rights to challenge the federal government within their own jurisdictions further adds to the complexity of the situation.
The Governor stated on X:
Texas stripped of powers in border security bill.
This is unacceptable.
