Twenty six Republican governors have decided to waste their state tax dollars on a publicity stunt to form a privately controlled military force ostensibly to patrol the southern border for illegal border crossings but is actually an expensive set up for photo opportunities.
According to a press release by Republican Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, the GOP state leaders settled on the name “American Governors’ Border Strike Force” for the band of state national guardsmen
Joining Arizona are the governors of Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas Utah, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming.
