Senator Marshall Releases Statement on Fort Riley Troops Deployed to the Border

Fort Riley, Kansas – Today, Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. released the following statement after the announcement that Kansas troops from Fort Riley will be deployed to the southern border:

“My heart is with Kansas families and loved ones as soldiers from Fort Riley are sent to protect and secure our borders. Kansans and Americans across the country extend our deepest gratitude to them for keeping us safe. Under the previous administration, over 2 million known illegal alien gotaways entered our country – something that should have never happened, and compromised our national security. 

President Trump is determined to stop the dangerous flow of fentanyl, cartels, and unvetted illegal immigrants coming into the United States and will protect our homeland. 
Thank you to these brave men and women for their selfless service to our great nation. Laina and I are praying for a safe and quick return home,” Senator Marshall, M.D. said.
