"United Border Security Act;" requires NJ National Guard to provide support services to states of Arizona and Texas.
This bill, the "United Border Security Act" (A4910), requires the New Jersey National Guard to deploy at least 1,500 members to Arizona or Texas upon a lawful request from either state's governor to assist with securing their southern border with Mexico. It mandates funding from the state's General Fund to cover deployment costs and specifies that the deployment would last up to 12 months or end when Arizona or Texas declares the support no longer needed. The bill cites New Jersey's estimated $7.3 billion annual cost for supporting undocumented immigrants (8% of the state's population) as justification for the deployment. The measure would take effect immediately upon enactment.
