Reportedly, the Trump administration will mobilize the National Guard in 19 states across the country. The National Guard troops will assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). I believe that this is an excellent decision by President Donald Trump to speed up immigration enforcement.
Conducting mass deportation requires ICE agents to go out and arrest criminal aliens. The work has many steps and logistical requirements, such as transportation, clerical support, and the processing of the detainees. The National Guard troops could be of tremendous help in these crucial tasks.
Time is of the essence. Illegal immigrants must be arrested at a fast pace, and they must also be processed and deported as swiftly as possible. Therefore, more manpower is necessary in immigration enforcement.
Reportedly, the 19 states are the following: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming.
It is quite clear that a lot of these states are what one would call “red” states, with Republican governors and members of Congress. Undoubtedly, the mobilization of the National Guard troops would be widely supported by the conservative leaders in many of the states.
Freedom-loving Americans will applaud President Trump’s decision.
