Gov. Josh Shapiro’s refusal to uphold his oath as described in the Constitution once again shows why he is a failed leader. This time, he refuses to send the National Guard to the southern border to help stop what I consider an insurrection caused by the Biden administration.What is the purpose of the National Guard? To protect the country; that’s why they’re called National Guard.

The governor says he doesn’t want to put troops in harm’s way. He would rather let terrorists, murderers and other criminals in to wreak havoc in our state and country? How can we send troops to places like Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries and not send troops to protect our own country? The governor did not score any points with veterans and caring Americans!
