FILE - In this April 19, 2011 file photo, a member of the U.S. National Guard checks on his colleague inside a Border Patrol Skybox near the Hidalgo International Bridge in Hidalgo, Texas. National Guard members along the Texas-Mexico border assist Border Patrol by surveying the terrain from the tower. The U.S. National Guard faces a vastly different landscape than it did on its last two deployments to the Mexican border but its role is shaping up much the same: moving Border Patrol agents from behind-the-scenes jobs to making arrests on the front lines. The Guard was assigned to observation posts some distance from the border for safety reasons, using binoculars and other gear to spot people crossing. Richard Barlow, then a top Border Patrol official in San Diego, said their success as lookouts varied because they were unarmed and needed protection in more dangerous areas.

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.
