Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Wednesday announced the deployment of 100 Virginia National Guard soldiers and 21 supporting personnel in compliance with a request from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for military support to respond to the border crisis.
"The ongoing border crisis facing our nation has turned every state into a border state," Youngkin, a Republican, said. "As leadership solutions at the federal level fall short, states are answering the call to secure our southern border, reduce the flow of fentanyl, combat human trafficking and address the humanitarian crisis."
The service members, who will be deployed to Texas for 30 days, are supporting Abbott's Operation Lone Star with the goal of securing the border and reducing the flow of the deadly opioid fentanyl into the U.S.
Virginia is the latest GOP-run state to send personnel to the border following similar deployments in recent weeks from Tennessee, Nebraska, Mississippi and Florida.

Another state stepping up to do what the Biden Administration has failed to do.
Grandstanding
They're just stepping in where the Biden administration failed the people of this country.
Something tells me if it was your backyard, you'd be singing a lot different tune.........
More than likely act just like every other liberal. "We welcome "migrants"". Then when they arrive they bitch, whine and cry then ship then off to be somebody else's problem. You know, like Martha's Vineyard, Chicago, NYC and Washington D.C.
It IS my backyard. I've never noticed anything special. It seems that border control is doing its job.
Gee... you're a mind-reader. Not.
Bob doesn't notice it.
There's nothing to notice.
Out of sight/ out of mind.

I guess you don't listen to Doug Nichols very much do you? He seems to say otherwise.
Who's he, and what is his competence.
deletion of one "L" in the name aside. THE MAYOR OF YUMA!!
He is the mayor of Yuma. That place you say you live in!
To be precise, I don't live in the municipality, but in the homonym county.
He has been on the news across the country. I know folks in Indiana and other states that have heard of him. I guess you do not live as close to the border as you have given people the impression you do.
... or rather there aren't significantly more immigrants...
Do you have anything of substance to say?

McMaster orders South Carolina troops to southern border
And South Carolina joins Virginia, Tennessee, Nebraska, Mississippi and Florida. All because of the incompetency of Biden

Shouldn't this be a META comment?
I see honesty and stating fact is out.
