On Saturday, Republican Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts said he will be sending troops to the southern border to help Texas’ efforts as the Joe Biden regime continues to neglect the ongoing crisis.
The Daily Wire reports:
“Gov. Pete Ricketts plans to send about two dozen state troopers to Texas later this month to help patrol the nation’s border with Mexico,” reported The Associated Press.
“Ricketts has criticized President Joe Biden’s approach to border security and several other policies, but he said the aid is being provided to Texas under a preexisting agreement that is normally activated in times of emergencies,” the report added.
The governor said troopers “will spend up to 16 days helping the Texas Department of Public Safety, but didn’t say how the deployment would be paid for,” the AP said.
Last week, Republican Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced that he has directed Florida law enforcement officers to assist at the southern border in both Texas and Arizona, too, answering calls from the states’ governors asking for help.
The news comes as Kamala Harris, who Joe Biden has tapped to be border czar, is finally visiting the border after approximately 90 days since her appointment. She has refused to meet with a bipartisan delegation of border-district legislators when on her visit.
