Arizona governor says feds will pay for Guard troops at border

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s office says deployment of 225 members of the state National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border to support President Trump’s effort to fight illegal immigration will be paid for by the U.S. government.

Ducey’s office says Guard members will provide air, reconnaissance, operational and logistical support to border patrol agents. They will also help with construction of infrastructure to free agents to concentrate on enforcement.
