Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt ordered 50 members of his state’s National Guard to the Texas border to support Operation Lone Star. The Guardsmen will join soldiers and airmen from 12 other states deployed to the Texas border with Mexico.

Responding to a request for assistance from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Governor Stitt ordered 50 members of the Oklahoma Nation Guard to travel to South Texas in support of the Operation Lone Star border security mission, KOSO NPR reported. Governor Stitt joined with 12 other Republican governors who responded to Abbott’s request by deploying National Guard Units and/or state law enforcement officers.

Those governors include:

• Governor Kim Reynolds, IA
• Governor Glenn Youngkin, VA
• Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders, AR
• Governor Ron DeSantis, FL
• Governor Brad Little, ID
• Governor Jim Pillen, NE
• Governor Doug Burgum, ND
• Governor Mike DeWine, OH
• Governor Kevin Stitt, OK
• Governor Henry McMaster, SC
• Governor Kristi Noem, SD
• Governor Bill Lee, TN
• Governor Jim Justice, WV

“Every state is a border state, and Republican governors – together – are stepping up to protect Americans where Biden has failed,” the collective governors said in a written statement.

In his deployment announcement, Governor Stitt wrote: “By deploying our brave National Guard Troops, we’re sending a strong message that we remain dedicated to defending our borders and upholding law and order in our nation.”

The Oklahoma troops will be a “force multiplier,” Guard officials added. They will not be exercising any law enforcement authority along the border. “It will be the local law enforcement agencies that are responsible for investigating and then, if necessary, detaining those people if they’re involved in illegal activities,” Oklahoma Nation Guard deputy public affairs officer LeeAnn Tumblson told the Oklahoma radio station.

Poll: Republicans Want Crime, Illegal Immigration Prioritized in GOP Primary

Most Republican voters say they want GOP presidential primary candidates to focus on cutting crime and eliminating illegal immigration at the United States-Mexico border, a poll shows.

A New York Times/Siena College poll reveals that 65 percent of Republican primary voters said they are more likely to support a presidential candidate in the 2024 election that “focuses on restoring law and order in our streets and at the border.”

For comparison, only 43 percent of Republican primary voters said they would be more likely to support a presidential candidate who promises to cut taxes on corporations, while only 24 percent said they would be more likely to back a candidate who “focuses on defeating radical ‘woke’ ideology in our schools, media, and culture.”

Similarly, almost 6-in-10 GOP voters said they are opposed to amnesty for illegal aliens, even when the question is asked under the guise of “comprehensive immigration reform.” Fewer than 4-in-10 GOP voters support amnesty.

The poll suggests Republicans are resonating most with voters when focusing on the multitude of quality of life issues, as well as the resulting economics, that stem from crime and illegal immigration in American communities.

Across 30 American cities, new data shows, homicides this year remain 24 percent higher than in 2019, while auto theft has skyrocketed in recent years. While crime reduces the quality of life for working and middle class Americans, illegal immigration strains social safety nets and cuts wages.

Since President Joe Biden took office, more than 2.1 million illegal aliens have been directly released into American communities and 1.5 million illegal aliens are known to have successfully crossed the border.

The addition of millions of new residents to the U.S. every few years through illegal immigration, and over a million legal immigrants arriving annually, drives up housing prices and ensures that the nation’s limited supply of homes and apartments is spread even thinner.

New York City, with a population of nearly nine million, has “no more room” to house the tens of thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens that have arrived on its doorstep since last year, Mayor Eric Adams (D) said this week.

Washington Post: Illegal Migration Jumped 30 Percent in July

Border migration numbers spiked 30 percent in July amid claims by President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief that new policies are reducing illegal migration, according to the Washington Post.

The numbers are revealed by preliminary data collected by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection data, said the Washington Post:

U.S. agents made more than 130,000 arrests along the Mexico border last month, preliminary figures show, up from 99,545 in June.

The inflow has jumped in Arizona, partly because the Texas government is trying to block movement across the Mexico-Texas border, the Post noted:

Large groups of migrants from Mexico, Central America and Africa have been crossing in recent weeks through the deserts west of Nogales, Arizona, to surrender to U.S. agents, straining CBP holding facilities and transportation capacity.

The inflow comes as border officials are being ordered by top officials to not stop or block migrants, but to focus on registering and releasing the migrants into the United States:

The Post‘s report on the July 130,00o number does not reveal how many were excluded, or how many were flown back to their home countries.

The Post also noted that officials invited an additional 50,000 economic migrants to cross the border via the quasi-legal “CPB One” scheduling software:

Authorities allowed an additional 50,000 migrants to cross into the United States in July, primarily through Biden administration programs allowing asylum-seekers to schedule appointments at U.S. ports of entry using the CBP One mobile application.

The Post‘s July 130,000 number also excludes roughly 30,000-plus illegal migrant “gotaways” who sneak across the border, and the roughly 30,000 migrants who are invited to fly from their home countries through the airport parole program.

The additional inflows above the announced 130,000 number deliver at least 100,000 migrants per month into U.S. communities, housing, and workplaces.

But if 100,000 of July’s 130,000 arrivals were allowed to stay by border chief Alejandro Mayorkas, then the July inflow would be roughly 200,000 migrants.

The 200,000 per month would add up to roughly 2.4 million per year. That inflow delivers about two border migrants for every three American births.

Mayorkas repeatedly argues that his welcome policies are justified by “equity” between Americans and migrants and by claims that Americans cannot fill the needed jobs in the U.S. economy. So far, Mayorkas has not indicated when he will stop welcoming migrants, even as Americans’ wages are forced down and their housing prices are forced upwards.

That open-ended welcome policy is quietly supported by many GOP legislators who put the needs of local business leaders ahead of American families and voters.

GOP presidential candidates Donald Trump and Gov. Ron DeSantis promise to curb the inflow.

DeSantis described his immigration plan in a July 31 economic speech in New Hampshire:

We need a strong and fair labor market. We have to secure our border, we have to stop illegal immigration, we need to end things like chain migration and the diversity visa lottery. We should not have massive amounts of unskilled migration coming into this country. What we want is immigration that benefits the average American. We don’t want to be bringing people in on programs to undercut wages of American citizens.

“The most important reform needed right now is a total ban on Biden using taxpayer dollars to free illegal aliens — and criminal penalties for administrative noncompliance, which happens every single minute of every single day,” Trump said in December 2022.

Many economic migrants now feel entitled to be released into the United States.

In fact, illegal migrants staged an August 1 protest to demand a faster catch-and-release process so they get to U.S. jobs and homes sooner:

“Every one of these people is inadmissible,” said immigration Mark Krikorian in a tweeted response to the protest. “The Biden crowd has dangled the possibility of entering the US [so] they’re protesting that they’re not being let in fast enough,” said Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

“The root cause of the border crisis is napping in the Oval Office,” he added.
