The Texas Tactical Border Force, a new specially trained National Guard unit, will be deployed to intercept, repel, and turn back migrants who are trying to enter Texas illegally.<\/p>\n<p>Abbott, a Republican who has been fiercely critical of Democratic President Joe Biden&#8217;s decision to end the Title 42 policy on Thursday, said that members of the National Guard unit were being loaded onto Black Hawk helicopters for deployment. The elite National Guard team will focus on any surges that occur, identifying crossing points and shutting them down. They will have access to aircraft, boats, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/house-gop-biden-must-disclose-how-many-u-s-weapons-seized-by-taliban\/\" title=\"House GOP: Biden must disclose how many U.S. weapons seized by Taliban\">night vision equipment<\/a>, and riot gear.<\/p>\n<p>A similar tactic was used in El Paso successfully last December, and in the last couple of days, the National Guard identified and suppressed a surge in crossings at Brownsville, the same city where a driver plowed into a group of migrants on Sunday.<\/p>\n<h3>Protecting Texas from Illegal Immigration<\/h3>\n<p>Abbott said he would continue busing migrants from small Texas border towns to big cities like Chicago and New York. He is also working with state lawmakers to make it a felony to illegally enter Texas from Mexico or to be involved in so-called stash houses for migrants who have crossed the border illegally. Another measure would impose a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-activates-tactical-border-force-ahead-of-illegal-immigration-surge-at-border\/\" title=\"Texas deploys 'Tactical Border Force' to prepare for increase in illegal immigration at the border.\">10-year minimum jail sentence<\/a> for anyone convicted of smuggling people into Texas.<\/p>\n<h3>The Biden Administration Takes Action<\/h3>\n<p>The Biden administration is sending 1,500 additional troops to help secure the U.S.-Mexico border this week. The government will also finalize by Thursday a new rule denying asylum to many migrants caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border illegally.<\/p>\n<p>While the repeal of Title 42 is expected to lead to a rise in border arrivals, Abbott is taking action to protect Texas from illegal immigration. With the deployment of the Texas Tactical Border Force, Abbott is sending a clear message that Texas will not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kevin-d-williamson-being-nice-on-illegal-immigration-is-actually-not-kind\/\" title=\"Kevin D.
