Arkansas is sending troops to the southern border to help Texas with its efforts to limit illegal immigration amid a historic migrant crisis.
Adam Shaw is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital, primarily covering immigration and border security.
Arkansas is one of a number of GOP-led states that have deployed troops to Texas in the past. The Natural State deployed approximately 80 Guardsmen to the border in July last year and 40 in the summer of 2021. He can be reached at adam.shaw2@fox.com or on Twitter.
