GOP governors express support for Trump immigration policies

CHEYENNE (WNE)  — Republican governors stand united in their support of President-elect Donald Trump’s commitment to address the illegal immigration crisis by deporting individuals who pose a threat to the United States’ communities and national security, a news release from the Republican Governors Association said.

Twenty-six Republican governors – among them Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon – released a joint statement to that effect, adding, “When the Biden Administration refused to secure our borders and uphold the rule of law, it was Republican governors who took action. We mobilized state resources, including law enforcement and National Guard units, to protect Americans from disastrous open border policies and prevent illegal immigration from overwhelming our country.

“We are proud to welcome President Trump back to the White House, a leader who has consistently put America first,” said the release. “His leadership is exactly what our nation needs to restore law and order at the border, and we are eager to work alongside his Administration to tackle the critical challenges facing our nation.”
