Abbott spoke during a press conference from the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, joined by Texas Border Czar Mike Banks, Texas National Guard Adjunct General Thomas Suelzer, and Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw.<\/p>\n<h3>Elite Soldiers to Repel Illegal Crossings<\/h3>\n<p>The new Texas Tactical Border Force will be deployed to border hotspots to repel illegal crossings. These elite soldiers will fill in the gaps in preparation for Title 42 ending this week. In response to \u201cJoe Biden\u2019s reckless border policies,\u201d the Texas National Guard will be loading Black Hawk helicopters and C-130s to deploy specially-trained National Guard members to \u201chotspots along the border to intercept, to repel and to bring back migrants who are trying to enter Texas illegally.<\/p>\n<h3>Anticipated Increase in Illegal Crossings<\/h3>\n<p>The governor claimed that the president is \u201claying down a welcome mat to people across the entire world saying that the United States border is wide open.\u201d This will lead to an incredible amount of people coming across the border illegally, according to Abbott. \u201cAccording to the Biden administration itself, they anticipate about 13,000 people coming across the border illegally every single day,\u201d Abbott said. \u201cIf you extend that out over the course of a year, it means it will be about 4,700,000 people coming across the border a year. That will mean there will be more people coming across the border illegally than there are residents of the massive city of Chicago.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Additional Forces to Secure the Border<\/h3>\n<p>The Texas National Guard activated 545 extra military members at various sites around the state on Monday to \u201creinforce the border mission in anticipation of the end of Title 42 immigration restrictions.\u201d These additional forces will bolster the thousands of Texas National Guard service members already assisting local and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republican-reps-demand-to-know-how-journalists-can-be-protected-from-antifa-rioters\/\" title=\"Republican Reps Demand To Know How Journalists Can Be Protected From Antifa Rioters\">state law enforcement agencies<\/a> to secure the border; stop the smuggling of drugs, weapons and people into Texas; and prevent, detect, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tx-gov-abbott-pushes-back-against-new-york-washington-d-c-mayors-over-busing-scheme\/\" title=\"Tx Gov.
