This deployment, set to take place later this spring, aims to address the escalating crisis.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Standing Up Against the Invasion<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Noem&#8217;s state National Guard will \u2062send 60 soldiers to the southern border over a three-month period. However, it is important to note that this deployment\u2064 is not intended to facilitate an invasion, but rather \u2064to stand up against\u200d it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Constructing a Wall to Protect Our Nation<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In a press release, Noem emphasized the severity of the situation, \u2063referring to the border as a warzone. She stated that the soldiers&#8217;\u200b primary mission will be to construct a wall, aiming to stem the \u200cflow of illegal immigrants, drug cartels, and\u200d human trafficking into the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>A Crisis Reaching Unprecedented Levels<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Noem&#8217;s press release highlighted the alarming statistics surrounding border encounters. In December, these encounters reached over\u2064 300,000\u200c for\u200b the first time in the country&#8217;s\u200c history. Since President Joe Biden \u2062took office, monthly border encounters\u2064 have increased by a staggering 452%.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>Supporting Texas \u200din the Battle for\u2064 Border Security<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In January, Noem expressed her willingness to support Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) by sending\u200c the South Dakota National Guard to the Texas border. This offer comes\u200b amidst a feud between Abbott and\u2062 Biden over border policy, which intensified after a \u200dSupreme Court\u2062 decision allowed the Biden administration to cut razor wire along the border.<\/p>\n<p>Noem recently visited the border \u200dalongside the Texas National \u2063Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Each visit further solidifies\u2064 the fact\u2064 that the situation has continued to deteriorate.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3>United Republican\u2062 Governors\u2063 in the Fight<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Noem is among the more than two dozen Republican governors who have backed Abbott in his battle for border security. This includes influential figures such\u200d as Govs. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), Glenn Youngkin (R-VA), and Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R-AR).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more \u2063from The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are the arguments made by critics regarding the deployment of the South Dakota National Guard to the southern border?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  This decision has not come without controversy. Critics argue that the deployment is \u200cunnecessary and\u200b a waste \u200bof resources. They believe that the issues at the border should be addressed through \u200cdiplomatic and\u2062 humanitarian \u200cefforts, rather than through\u200c a military response.<\/p>\n<p>However, Gov. Noem, \u2063along with other Republican governors, argues that the situation at the border has reached a critical point that requires immediate action. They claim that the surge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-quietly-auctioning-off-parts-of-unused-border-wall-report\/\" title=\"Biden administration discreetly selling sections of unused border wall: Report\">illegal border\u200d crossings<\/a> has put a strain on border patrol resources and poses a threat to national security.\u200d By deploying the South Dakota National Guard, Noem aims to provide much-needed support to border patrol agents and help secure\u2063 the border.<\/p>\n<p>The deployment of the South Dakota National Guard to the southern border is not without precedence.\u2064 In the past, state National Guards from various states have \u200cbeen deployed to assist in border\u200c security operations. This includes National Guards from Arizona, Texas, and New \u2063Mexico, among others. These deployments \u2062have\u200c been seen\u2064 as a way\u2062 to supplement the efforts of federal agencies and provide additional manpower and resources to secure the border.<\/p>\n<p>The South Dakota National Guard&#8217;s\u2063 mission\u2063 at the southern \u2062border will include surveillance, support, and humanitarian assistance. \u200bThis means that the soldiers will be\u2063 providing additional eyes and \u2062ears on the ground to help detect \u200band <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/texas-deploys-floating-barrier-in-rio-grande-river\/\" title=\"Texas uses floating barrier in Rio Grande River.\">deter illegal border crossings<\/a>. They will also be assisting in the \u200blogistical support\u200b needed to address\u2064 the humanitarian needs of migrants, should \u2063any arrive at the border.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of the deployment argue \u2062that this is a \u2064misguided use of military resources. They believe that the role of the\u200c military should be strictly limited to national \u2062defense and that addressing \u2064immigration\u200d issues should be the responsibility of civilian agencies. They argue that deploying the \u200cNational\u2063 Guard detracts from its primary mission and diverts resources away from\u2064 other pressing national security\u2063 concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Proponents of the deployment, on the other hand, \u200bargue that securing the border is a crucial aspect of national defense. They maintain that the surge of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayorkas-to-expedite-construction-of-border-wall-in-texas-amid-illegal-immigration-surge\/\" title=\"Mayorkas speeds up Texas border wall construction amidst illegal immigration surge.\">illegal border crossings poses<\/a> a \u200cthreat not only to \u200bthe safety and security of border communities but \u200calso to the overall integrity \u2062of the\u2062 country&#8217;s\u200b immigration system. They argue that the deployment of the National Guard helps alleviate the strain on border\u200d patrol resources and provides much-needed support to address the crisis at hand.<\/p>\n<p>While the deployment of the South Dakota National\u200b Guard to the southern border may be met \u200dwith \u2064controversy, Gov. Noem has made it clear \u2062that she stands firm in\u200b her decision. She believes that it is the\u200d duty of the\u200b state to support the federal\u200b government in addressing national security \u2062concerns. She maintains that her state&#8217;s National Guard is well-prepared and well-trained to assist\u200c in this critical mission.<\/p>\n<p>As \u200cthe deployment is set to take place later this spring, it remains to \u2062be seen how effective the South Dakota National Guard will be in addressing \u200cthe border crisis.\u2062 However, what is clear is that the migration issue remains a highly contentious \u200btopic, with \u200cno easy solutions in sight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Governor Kristi Noem (R-SD) plans to send 60 soldiers from the South Dakota National Guard to the southern border this spring.
