   Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Wednesday announced that the state is   
   sending National Guard troops to the southern border in order to aid Texas   
   with the ongoing crisis at its border with Mexico -- becoming the latest   
   in a number of GOP-led states to send resources and troops.   
      
   "The ongoing border crisis facing our nation has turned every state into a   
   border state," said Governor Glenn Youngkin said in a statement. "As   
   leadership solutions at the federal level fall short, states are answering   
   the call to secure our southern border, reduce the flow of fentanyl,   
   combat human trafficking and address the humanitarian crisis."   
      
   Youngkin said the deployment of 100 troops came after a briefing from   
   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott -- who has requested help from other states in   
   dealing with the historic migrant crisis now into its third year.   
      
   There were more than 1.7 million migrant encounters in FY 2021, and more   
   than 2.3 million in FY22. There have so far been over 1.4 million migrant   
   encounters in FY 23 recorded until the end of April, with five months   
   still left of the fiscal year.

   Numbers surged ahead of the ending of Title 42 earlier this month, and   
   there were widespread concerns that the termination of the order -- which   
   allowed for the rapid expulsion of migrants at the border due to COVID-19   
   -- would see an even bigger surge following. However, numbers have so far   
   decreased sharply since the order.   
      
   In a statement, Youngkin mentioned also the concerns surrounding the flow   
   of fentanyl into the U.S. across the land border. The drug, which is   
   responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans each year, is   
   primarily made in Mexico using Chinese precursors. Youngkin’s office said   
   that an average of five Virginians die each day from the illicit narcotic.   
      
   "Given the intensive resource demands on Texas, the dangers posed by the   
   fentanyl crisis, and impact of the border crisis on criminal activity to   
   the Commonwealth, Virginia will do its part to assist the State of Texas’   
   efforts with the coordinated deployment of Virginia National Guard   
   soldiers to assist in key aspects of their mission," Youngkin said.
