Three Michigan State Representatives are calling on Governor Whitmer to mobilize our national guard to help secure the Southern border.
State Representatives Neil Friske, Matt Maddock, and James DeSana sent a letter Wednesday afternoon, saying it’s time to secure the US-Mexico border.
“We, as members of the 102nd Legislature call upon you to aid Texas in securing our Southern Border. For far too long our southern border has been left wide open for anyone to cross. This poses a grave national security risk as we have seen people who are on the FBI’s Most Wanted list crossing into the country via the southern border,” the state reps wrote in a news release.
According to the letter, in 2023, Customs and Border Patrol seized 27,293 pounds of Fentanyl enough to k*ll 6 billion people.
“Michigan is being affected by this crisis and the issues of the border are stretching to dangerous levels here. Just last week a world terrorist watch suspect was arrested in #Michigan. We have also seen news reports of homeless shelters in #Detroit being overrun with illegal immigrants instead of homeless people. We have also seen reports of buses of illegal immigrants being brought into places like Grand Rapids and Traverse City. Now is the time for action and we call upon you to activate the Michigan National Guard and to deploy them to the Southern Border to aid Texas and 24 other states in securing our southern border”, the letter from the state reps reads.
