gov parson requests 2 3m in sending 200 missouri guard members to

Gov. Parson called the Texas southern border a "free for all" and will send National Guard and Highway Patrol members to the border. JEFFERSON CITY — Gov. Mike Parson announced Tuesday Missouri's commitment to bolster border security efforts, signing an executive order in response to what he deemed the failures of the Biden administration's open border policy. Standing firm on his stance, Parson, joined by 26 other governors, pledged support for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's Operation Lone Star.

Missouri has allocated $2.3 million to dispatch 22 members of the Missouri State Highway Patrol and 200 National Guard members to aid in erecting barriers at the southern border. "A strong southern border means a stronger Missouri," Parson affirmed. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced Tuesday he will send about 200 state National Guard members and up to 22 of the state’s Highway Patrol members to the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas. The Show-Me State joins 14 others in sending personnel to the southern border in response to Texas’ request for support of its Operation Lone Star, Parson said. “Missouri personnel will rotate in and out as needed, with the primary mission to help the State of Texas in (constructing) barriers to entry and supporting security patrols,” he said.

Members of the Highway Patrol will be on the ground in Texas as soon as March 1, with the National Guard members active 10 days later, Parson said. These deployments are in addition to troops Missouri previously sent to Texas to assist Customs and Border Protection, he said. The governor said he made the decision after visiting the border and because of illegal border crossings and rising fentanyl exposures in Missouri, which Parson blames the Biden administration’s border policy for. He added that the solution is to secure the country’s border. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced Tuesday afternoon that the state will send Missouri National Guard and Highway Patrol units to the Texas-Mexico border as fellow Republican governors augment Texas Gov.

Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star, a multibillion dollar border security effort. Two Missouri National Guard units, including roughly 250 members, are currently working under a federal deployment to assist the Border Patrol with law enforcement. Parson toured the border earlier this month with other GOP governors and promised Missouri support. With an executive order, Parson will deploy up to 200 Missouri National Guard members on a rotating basis of roughly 30 days, and up to 22 Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers who Parson says... The order includes a $2.3 million supplemental budget request to the General Assembly. (The Center Square) – Legislative leaders from both parties are supporting Republican Gov.

Mike Parson’s request for $2.3 million to send Missouri National Guard troops and State Highway Patrol troopers to the southern border. “I intend to vote for it at this point because I think it’s important to have some sort of response to the crisis at the border that the federal government has clearly punted on,”... John Rizzo, D-Independence, told reporters during an end-of-week news conference on Thursday. “It’s sad that Republicans in Washington, D.C., have decided to punt on fixing the border crisis simply because it was proposed by a Democrat or President Biden, or that Democrats were involved in the... Parson announced on Feb. 21 he will support Texas Republican Gov.

Greg Abbott’s Operation Lone Star with 200 soldiers and 22 troopers and request the money in a supplemental appropriation. Sen. Bill Eigel, R-Weldon Springs and a candidate for his party’s nomination for governor, said Missouri should stand with Texas and other states dealing with thousands of immigrants crossing the border. “I’m supportive of continuing to work with those states when it comes to solving the border crisis, which was caused by the Joe Biden administration when they opened the border and caused this invasion... “… I can’t speak for my colleagues, but I suspect there’s going to be a lot of appetite in the Missouri Senate.” (The Center Square) – Republican Gov.

Mike Parson issued an executive order Tuesday declaring a state of emergency in Missouri to send members of the Missouri National Guard and Highway Patrol troopers to Texas. Parson ordered 200 soldiers and 22 troopers and is requesting $2.3 million in a supplemental appropriation from the state legislature to fund the action. They will support Operation Lone Star, a mission executed by Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. Parson’s office stated approximately 10 million individuals have entered the U.S. illegally via the Texas-Mexico border.

He repeatedly emphasized the immigrants are transporting fentanyl across the border with more than 460 million lethal doses of the drug. He criticized the White House and the media for attempting to mischaracterize the situation. “I'm telling you they're trying to put a spin that these are American people producing fentanyl and all of a sudden we're starting to sell fentanyl and it's not the illegals crossing the borders... “That's the spin they're trying to put on and I think that's about as false as false can be.” Parson said his recent trip to Texas to observe the situation and speak with Gov. Abbott was alarming.

Parson is one of 25 Republican governors pledging support to Gov. Abbott. Republican Governor Mike Parson has taken action by issuing an executive order on Tuesday, declaring a state of emergency in Missouri. This decision was made to provide assistance to Texas by deploying members of the Missouri National Guard and Highway Patrol troopers. Parson has taken charge by deploying 200 soldiers and 22 troopers to assist in Operation Lone Star, a crucial mission led by Texas Republican Governor, Greg Abbott. To fund this action, Parson has requested a supplemental appropriation of $2.3 million from the state legislature.

According to Parson’s office, around 10 million people have entered the United States illegally through the Texas-Mexico border. He stressed that these immigrants are smuggling fentanyl across the border, which amounts to over 460 million deadly doses of the drug. Parson criticized the White House and the media for their attempts to misrepresent the situation. Missouri Governor Mike Parson has strongly refuted claims that American people are responsible for the production and sale of fentanyl. He believes that the narrative being pushed is false and misleading. According to Parson, the blame should not be placed on immigrants crossing the borders, as some are suggesting.

During his recent trip to Texas, Parson expressed his deep concern after witnessing the situation firsthand and engaging in discussions with Governor Abbott. As one of the 25 Republican governors who have pledged their support to Governor Abbott, Parson found the situation to be alarming. Missouri Gov. Mike Parson announced Tuesday that he's sending up to 200 members of the Missouri National Guard and 22 Missouri State Highway Patrol troopers to the Southern Border. Parson was one of several governors to visit the border earlier this year. "The crisis at the Southern Border is fueling the fentanyl crisis here in our state," Parson said.

"Missourians are dying, families are being torn apart, and communities are being destroyed, all because of the Biden Administration's open-border policies. With our Southern Border wide open, every state is now a border state." Parson said the Missouri State Highway Patrol has seized nearly 12,500 grams of fentanyl since 2023. He also said fentanyl overdoses have increased in Missouri by 135 percent since 2017. "President Biden and the federal government must step up to stop illegal entry into our nation, to stop the free flow of fentanyl into our communities, and combat the rise of human trafficking, but... Missouri will act by deploying our own resources to secure our nation's border," Governor Parson continued.
