This article covers upcoming deployment.
I haven't come across overall Indiana sentiment on this yet
There are many things I'm unhappy about in this matter:
- Deployment of Indiana guard for something the federal government should be doing.
- Putting Indiana citizen soldiers in a very difficult position: having to deal with immigration policies in actual practice, political shenanigans, dealing with humanitarian issues when the primary mission isn't saving lives. We are good at war and helping save lives, anything else is asking for trouble.
- Combining immigration policy with border protection. I don't like that they aren't separate. I feel like it's all political games, but someone convince me that we can't control borders without barring all immigration.
- Crazy talk about federalizing a state's national guard.
- Crazy talk about States and federal government clashing to the point of escalation. I don't think cool heads and reason win the day anymore. I feel like the populous seems willing to support more extreme measures these days
- Separation of service members from their families
On one positive side, this will give 50 service members and their families a first hand view of a major topic instead of hearing it from the news.
I see a lot of comments conveyed unhappiness with Indiana governor and Republicans in general.
Any opinions?:
What should be done about the border security?
Is the threat of drug smuggling from across the border real or made up?
What should we do about fentanyl issues? I'm not interested/care about weed. It will be available soon/someday, just a matter of time.

If anyone takes the bOrDeR cRiSiS seriously, they're showing that they're a hog who is incapable of doing better. I'm not going to take them seriously and they can go play in the mud with the other racist hogs. It's completely on-brand for Indiana and they're living proof of hwhite supremacy. Immigration is a federal matter and the National Guardsmen have a clear-as-day obligation to refuse this illegal order, so hang any officer ordering it and discharge any weekend warrior who follows it.
Same sentiment for you.
Is it also on-brand for people looking for getting rid of divisive society related matters to talk about 'hogs' and hanging people?
Maybe you meant to swap out officers with someone else?
What the hell is wrong with you? Go back to reddit to talk about hanging people there, they love that stuff. Hexbear, I guess you can talk about hanging people on that server.
Look at it squeal. I can't expect better from such a corn-fed specimen but when people say these things are smart I wish they could make other noises.
