Florida’s Republican Governor Ron DeSantis is deploying state and National Guard troops to the Texas-Mexico border in a move that’s been widely condemned by immigration rights groups. DeSantis made the announcement Thursday as he stood on a podium displaying the words “Stop the Invasion.” DeSantis is one of many Republican leaders who’s pledged support for Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott’s intensifying anti-immigrant hate speech and policies. Meanwhile, Abbott continues to defy a Supreme Court order that allowed the Biden administration to cut down razor wire put up by Texas troopers along its border with Mexico.
