Biden’s Borderland: Yet more states send National Guard to border with Mexico!

Video

Mexican news media report drug gangs on the U.S./Mexico border are using anti-tank weapons (they are Swedish made AT-4 non-guided anti-tank rockets, the report incorrectly calls them Javelin guided anti-tank missiles):

24 hours after the governors of South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia announced deployments of Army National Guard personnel to the Joint Task Force Lone Star operation, in Texas, several more states throw their hats in the ring.

On 01JUN2023, Arkansas, North Dakota and Ohio ordered additional militia personnel to the border with Mexico.

The Arkansas Democratic Gazette reported that Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders is deploying an additional 80 state militia personnel, beginning in July, because of “President Biden’s failure at our southern border”.

There is already 125 North Dakota militia personnel in Texas, Governor Doug Burgum is sending an additional 1-hundred, saying “The threat to national security grows every day that the Biden administration abdicates the responsibility of the federal government to secure our borders – failing to enforce existing immigration laws and failing to dedicate the resources needed to stop the tide of illegal immigration and drug trafficking that endangers lives in communities across our country. If the White House won’t address this crisis, governors will, and we commend Gov. Abbott for taking the lead in the absence of federal action. The North Dakota National Guard has already deployed two units to the southern border in the past two years, and these additional military and law enforcement resources announced today will further strengthen efforts to secure the border and keep Americans safe.”

The Statehouse News Bureau reports that Mike DeWine, Governor of Ohio, ordered a new rotation of 50 National Guard personnel, for October.  There are currently 125 Ohio state militia personnel in Texas.

On 30MAY2023, Iowa’s  Governor Kim Reynolds ordered at least 130 state militia and police personnel, to Texas, saying “The crisis we are experiencing is a direct result of a dereliction of duty by President Biden.”

“The ongoing border crisis facing our nation has turned every state into a border state. As leadership solutions at the federal level fall short, states are answering the call to secure our southern border, reduce the flow of fentanyl, combat human trafficking and address the humanitarian crisis.”-Glenn Youngkin, Governor of Virginia

On 31MAY2023, the governors of South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia ordered National Guard units to patrol the Texas/Mexico border!  There are now eight U.S. states deploying National Guard units to take part in Operation Lone Star (aka Joint Task Force Lone Star), along the border with Mexico.

Texas Army National Guard video by Specialist Joe Cantu, Joint Task Force Lone Star (JTFLS), El Paso, 09MAY2023:

“At the request of Texas Governor Greg Abbott, I have directed the deployment of South Carolina National Guard troops to Texas to help hold the line on the Southern border. The safety and security of South Carolinians require that we stop the drug cartels, criminals, and terrorists from entering our country to peddle their poison.”-Henry McMaster, Governor of South Carolina

Incomplete (tip-o-the iceberg, seriously this isn’t the half-of-it!) list of links to United States (U.S.) drug related crimes and oddities for the month of January 2023:

U.S. Coast Guard District 7 PADET photo, 16JAN2023.

On 16JAN2023, the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) transferred approximately 250 kilograms of cocaine, and three smugglers, to Dominican Republic.  They were captured in the Mona Passage on 10JAN2023.

On 30JAN2023, USCG Cutter Emlen Tunnell (WPC 1145) captured 4-thousand kilograms of hashish and 512 kilograms of methamphetamine, in the Gulf of Oman. This was the first drug seizure in 2023 for Combined Task Force (CTF)-150: “This is just the beginning of our work in delivering maritime security operations in the region to stop illicit activities and drug smuggling. This comes as a result of a valued partnership between CTF 150 and all partner nations in Combined Maritime Forces.”-Captain James Byron, United Kingdom Royal Navy, current leader of CMF-150 (so, even the U.S. led anti-smuggling operations in the Gulf of Oman are commanded by Red Coats!)

Also on 30JAN2023, U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence gave a short history of the U.S. Tactical Analysis Teams (TATs) deployed to Central and South America, in the name of taking the Reagan era War on Drugs international.  The first TAT was formed and deployed in 1989.  Obviously, to me, it has been a resounding failure, but don’t tell that to the taxpayer funded U.S. Army Intelligence Center of Excellence, or U.S. Southern Command (SouthCom).

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reported capturing more than 379 million potentially deadly doses of fentanyl in 2022, enough to kill every American!
