More than a dozen Republican governors have pledged hundreds of troops and spent millions of dollars to help secure the Texas-Mexico border amid a sharp increase in migrant encounters. In response to Texas Governor Greg Abbott's call, the governors vowed to send National Guard troops from their states, with deployments ranging from five to 200 troops, whose funding comes from state budgets and emergency funds. The federal government also deploys thousands of National Guard members to the border year-round.
