He’s sent troops here before and has been with Texas all along.
For those thT think it doesn’t work:

NEW: The large majority of illegal crossings at the southern border are now happening in AZ & CA, as a shift away from TX continues.
Per CBP sources, over the last week of January, Border Patrol apprehended 32,809 illegal immigrants.
23,576 of them (71.8%) were in AZ & CA.
Notably, the numbers in TX’s Del Rio sector, which includes Eagle Pass, have fallen off a cliff. In December, the sector saw days of 3,000-4,000 illegal crossings per day. Over the last week, it has averaged around just 200. This is happening due to two reasons:
Texas has locked things down on their side of the border, and Mexico has increased enforcement against migrants arriving in the MX state of Coahuila following Sec. of State Antony Blinken’s visit to MX in December. Mexico is now suddenly stopping migrants from boarding trains, and is removing migrants from their northern border down to their southern border following that meeting. And the migrants who do cross there now find a very unwelcoming posture from the state of TX with legions of soldiers, troopers, and razor wire, & threat of arrest. It is unknown what the US offered MX in return for this cooperation.
However, the Mexican government enforcement has not happened in other areas of the border, and Border Patrol’s San Diego sector and Tucson, AZ sector are now seeing the most activity.
For instance, yesterday, CBP sources tell me there were 5,240 Border Patrol apprehensions of illegal immigrants at the southern border.
3,854 of them (73.5%) were in AZ & CA.
(None of these numbers include CBP ports of entry/CBP One App or gotaways. These are only recorded Border Patrol apprehensions).
He’s doing great- as the Governor he was elected to be.
Someone on Free Republic is calling Trump “deranged” and his supporters “mindless.”
Uh oh. I guess I’d better change my mind.
I had no problem with him being governor. just not president.
Sending troops to the border doesn’t stop the invasion unless they’re ordered to shoot.
ESAD Nancy boy.
ROFL!!!
Do I know you? Have we met on some distant field?
Nahhh ... didn’t think so.
I have noticed that a certain sort of person introduces himself to strangers by hurling childish insults at them.
When DeSantis does good, he gets praise.
Four years is a long time, we will probably forget how he campaigned against Trump when the Democrats were hell bent on incarcerating him. So he probably has a bright future.
Keep up the good work Governor.
Correct. I remember how we loved W. and hated Giuliani. Now the opposite is true.
How FR did not allow Alex Jones. How Ted Cruz supporters were zotted en masse. I remember when Nikki Haley and Ann Coulter were Republican darlings.
Things change.
