Contributing sentiments towards policy:

60% : "To support that mission, today, I deployed the Texas Tactical Border Force, comprised of hundreds of troops, to work side-by-side with U.S. Border Patrol agents to stop illegal immigrants from entering our country and to enforce immigration laws.
59% : Troops were last ordered to the border by former President Joe Biden, and Trump did the same during his first term.
57% : About 2,500 members of the National Guard and Army Reserve are already at the border assisting U.S. Customs and Border Protection with logistics and other support duties, a Pentagon spokesperson told USA TODAY.
49% : The Pentagon will deploy as many as 1,500 additional active-duty forces to the country's southern border, the White House said last week, following through on an executive order Trump signed shortly after taking office.
48% : The tactical border force will join thousands of Texas National Guard soldiers already deployed as part of Abbott's ongoing $11 billion Operation Lone Star, the state's ever-expanding military-law enforcement buildup at the border that started soon after Trump was ousted from the White House after the 2020 election.
46% : Unless the administration invokes the Insurrection Act, active-duty troops can't assist in apprehensions and will be limited to support roles as they have in the past.
32% : The move comes in the wake of several border-related executive actions Trump has enacted since his inauguration, including declaring a national emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border.
