What prevents the governors from the border states from calling up the National Guard to secure their borders?
I pray that they do exactly that.
Turns out that King 0bama’s drive to confiscate Americans’ guns wasn’t necessary after all.. We’re taking this invasion in stride and not resisting one bit.

The POSOTUS can federalize the National Guard, rendering it useless to the Governor who calls it up.
However, Texas has its own State Guard. The Governor is the C-in-C and it cannot be federalized. Unfortunately, Rick Perry is an open borders corporatist.

IMHO the inaction of governors is all about maintaining funding by the Feds. Feds threaten to cut off money for whatever project the state may be working on or planning and the governors roll over and show their bellies.
This is what happens when a strong central government controls the purse strings, and now that Congress is Obama’s bitch I see no way to change it.
