South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem activates National Guard amidst migrant influx at southern border

Noem has dispatched the South Dakota National Guard to the southern border to assist with the influx of migrants

The move comes as the Biden administration struggles to deal with the surge in illegal immigration

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has activated the state's National Guard to assist with the influx of migrants at the southern border. The move comes as the Biden administration struggles to deal with the surge in illegal immigration.

Noem, a Republican, has been a vocal critic of the Biden administration's immigration policies. She has accused the administration of not doing enough to secure the border and of releasing migrants into the United States without properly vetting them.

The National Guard will be deployed to Texas, where they will work with the Department of Homeland Security to provide support for border patrol agents. The deployment will cost the state of South Dakota an estimated $1 million per month.

The Biden administration has defended its handling of the border situation, saying that it is committed to securing the border while also treating migrants humanely. However, the administration has been criticized by both Democrats and Republicans for its handling of the crisis.

The influx of migrants at the southern border has been a major challenge for the Biden administration. In March, the number of migrants apprehended at the border reached its highest level in 20 years.

The Biden administration has taken a number of steps to address the surge in illegal immigration, including increasing the number of border patrol agents and working with Mexico and other Central American countries to address the root causes of migration.

However, the administration has been criticized for its handling of the crisis. Some Democrats have accused the administration of not doing enough to secure the border, while some Republicans have accused the administration of not doing enough to deter migrants from coming to the United States.

The deployment of the South Dakota National Guard to the southern border is the latest sign of the growing frustration with the Biden administration's handling of the border crisis.
