Ok. Here it is.
Abbott has requested the National Guard from Florida, on Florida's dime, and Florida is apparently going to comply with that formal request from the Texas Governor.
Mighty generous, at the start of Hurricane Season.
Too bad DeSantis can't get fix all the missing street name signs on state roads in Florida. These signs were destroyed in Sept 2022 from Hurricane Ian, 8 months ago. Perhaps he can send the FL National Guard to order and install those signs. Lots of missing street name signs at major intersections in Florida - on state maintained roads. 8 months is a long time.
They may operate the way the Navy did with LEO Ops in the drug war, we provided the platform and the boarding crew and we had a USCG Member with the team as they were the ones who could legally impound the vessel and or the individuals.
Could do the same thing with the border, have an Army squad on patrol with one of the Border Police as part of the team.
Being show ponies. I think it would be nice to hear from those who went the last time. See if what they were doing was a good use of the NG.

Instead, he's sending the guard to Texas.
It's probably not the National Guard's duty to replace missing street signs. Have you actually read up on why the signs haven't been replaced yet? The devil is in the details, you know.
For all of those who disagree that Florida is sending NG troops to Texas, perhaps you should redirect your anger to the Biden Administration which consistently refuses to acknowledge that there is an issue at the border.
If the Biden Administration would acknowledge this, instead of trying to make obviously misleading statements that the border is "secure". The Governor of Texas wouldn't need to make these requests.
