FILE - In this April 10, 2018, file frame from video, a National Guard troop watches over Rio Grande River on the border in Roma, Texas. President Donald Trump has asked governors to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to the border with Mexico, citing a recent surge in people crossing illegally. Apprehensions at the border fell sharply shortly after Trump took office last year but they have gradually increased in recent months. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who is running for re-election this year, has eagerly complied with Trump's request, dispatching hundreds of guard members and saying that the Texas contribution could reach 1,400 or more.
