Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a bold move on Thursday, as he dispatched members of the Florida National Guard and the Florida State Guard to Texas to help fortify the southern border. This marks the first time that the Florida State Guard members have been deployed out of state, showcasing DeSantis’ commitment to addressing the crisis at the border.

DeSantis made it clear that his goal is to help Texas strengthen its border defenses and put a stop to the ongoing invasion. He stressed the importance of defending the rule of law and the sovereignty of the United States, pointing out that without a secure border, the country is not truly sovereign.
