South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem warned about the “destabilizing” impact of the border crisis in response to the potential federalization of the Texas National Guard by President Biden.
She criticized Democrats for encouraging Biden to seize control of state National Guards and expressed concern about the border turning into a “war zone.”
Noem, who has deployed South Dakota National Guard members to the border, emphasized the effectiveness of razor wire in deterring illegal crossings.
We are in a critical time in our nation’s history. Our Freedoms are under attack. The President is undermining and destabilizing our country by allowing an invasion at the southern border.
It’s escalating so quickly. We need a new leader in the White House who loves America —… pic.twitter.com/jmSZ5quGhb

Noem said, “Democrats have been encouraging this president, they have been encouraging President Biden to come after our states’ rights.”
“They have been talking about federalizing our National Guard, which would be the first time in American history that we would have a president that would pay soldiers to stand down, to actually not protect America. And if he’s willing to do that and to take away my authority as governor, as commander in chief of those National Guard, boy, we do have a war on our hands,” she continued.
Noem added, “Just look at what we have gone through the last four years. We saw governments and the president break federal law. We saw them take away fundamental freedoms that are protected in our Constitution, our freedom of assembly, our freedom of religion, freedom of speech.”
She also criticized Biden’s leadership, stating that the country is becoming more uncertain and expressing the need for a new leader who loves the country to address the situation.
“Now we see the president undermining our country by allowing this invasion at the southern border. And it’s destabilizing our country. So you look at how quickly America is becoming more and more uncertain every single day, the fact we continue to borrow money from China to run our government, and then we’re just handing it out to people who aren’t even citizens here,” Noem continued.
“It’s a very consequential time, because it’s escalating so quickly. And if we don’t shut this down, get a new leader in the White House that loves this country, I don’t know how long it’ll be around,” she concluded.
