If Perry ordered the Texan national guard (or whatever troops Perry commands as a state Governor) to control the border, what would Obama do? Order the Army to the border to stop them? If O orders the border unsecured at gun point, isn’t that Treason? Isn’t that a direct abdication of one of the roles of his office?
The guard units in each state can be called out by a Gov. and then that state bears the entire cost.
Plus as CIC BO can counterman the Gov’s order to call tem out and order them back.
A Gov can not send the guard to stop or prevent or even aid the Federal Border agents from their duties.
NO Gov would order a state guard to fire upon illegals or federal agents. Plus think of the conflict any American would have , to shoot at another American for doing their job?
so there isn’t much purpose for a Gov to send a state guard to a national crisis
People who are not paying attention seem to think this is a Texas only crisis. It is a national crisis and is growing as BO sends thousands of illegals into states all across the country.
Some people who post in boards act all tough and say, well if Perry had any balls he’d send the guard in to stop the illegals and force BO to do something else.
If those people really meant what they post there are civilian militia on the border now. These tough talkers could join the civilian militia and shoot at illegals and federal agents all they wanted
