Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee has deployed soldiers from the Tennessee National Guard to join their Texas counterparts in “Operation Lone Star” to bring more security to the Texas border.

The governor said he originally asked for 100 soldiers to assist the effort but says that roughly 400 volunteered.

The move comes as more Republican governors in the United States take a stance with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) in hopes of stopping immigrants from crossing the border between the two countries.

On Saturday, Gov. Bill Lee met with troops being deployed down to the border between Mexico and Texas for March.

“As America faces the most severe border crisis in decades, Tennessee is showing the rest of the country what it means to lead”

“Today, I joined Tennessee National Guard members who will soon deploy on a voluntary mission to secure the Southern border as the federal government fails to act.”

Tennessee earned the nickname Volunteers after the state’s overwhelming involvement in the War of 1812. A little over 15 years after gaining statehood, patriotic Tennesseans were eager to participate in the war effort.

With General Andrew Jackson – a fellow Tennessean – leading the charge, over 1,500 soldiers stepped up to the plate.

This was especially true in the Battle of New Orleans, the final major battle of the war, where American troops defeated the British with overwhelming help from those helpful Tennesseans.

The Volunteers didn’t stop there, though. The nickname became even more applicable after the Mexican-American War in 1846 when, after the Secretary of War asked the state for 2,800 soldiers, Tennessee sent over 30,000.

After the death of Davy Crockett (a former Tennessee congressman) at the Alamo, Tennesseans who felt passionate about getting revenge on the Mexican government saw this as the perfect opportunity.

Meanwhile, we know there were 24,000 Chinese nationals who crossed the southern border of America in fiscal year 2023, while it was 340 in 2021.

The numbers increased exponentially. War Correspondent Michael Yon underscores the strategic nature of Chinese migration across Central America, not just the United States. “The CCP took Hong Kong and Tibet through weaponized migration,” he said, “they are doing the same in Taiwan and America now. This is a straight-up invasion. We’re at war.”
