GOP-led states step up with troops, law enforcement to help Texas tackle border woes

Multiple Republican-led states are stepping up and sending troops and other resources to help Texas deal with the ongoing multi-year crisis at the U.S. southern border.

"America continues to face an unprecedented border crisis that threatens our nation’s security and the safety of Tennesseans," Tenn. Gov. Bill Lee said in a statement on Wednesday. "The federal government owes Americans a plan to secure our country, and in the meantime, states continue to answer this important call to service. I am again authorizing the Tennessee National Guard to help secure the Southern border, and I commend these troops for providing critical support."  Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.

"Our nation has a serious and unchecked threat on its hands following President Biden's decision to end Title 42," Nebraska Gov. Jim Phillen said. "Nebraska is committed to using every tool in its tool box to help stop the influx of illegal immigration at our southern border. Illegal immigration hurts our nation's security, undermines the rule of law, and threatens the wellbeing of our state." He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
