Should have been done weeks/months ago. I understood that the NG reported to the Governor, unless it was nationalized by the Prez. It would be very interesting if Obama nationalized them and told them to stand down. Total banana republic, obvious treason.
That’s why I advocate for Perry to send the Texas State Guard, which cannot be nationalized. They are a separate entity from the Texas National Guard.

The governor is being contacted by a lot of angry folks right now, many of them Tea Party members and militias who are tired of this orchestrated illegal amnesty invasion. Prez couldn’t get his way with amnesty so he gave America the middle finger and said fine, I’m going to do it anyway and opened our borders instructing the Border Patrol to just let them pass. We know this has absolutely nothing to do with compassion for the illegals. It has everything to do with tilting the population to brownskins for power since the white population has been the vast majority for years. This is Jarrett and Obama’s payback to the white man they’ve been hinting at for so long It’s Cloward Piven to break our backs. Some of the black population is finally waking up to the fact that the man only looks black; he is not black and was never raised as one of them. And now they are finally starting to speak out against him.
That would be a true constitutional showdown. I don’t think the president can simply take over the NG unless it’s to deal with an emergency. I don’t believe he can take them over to NOT deal with an emergency.
Years ago. Didn’t Perry run for president in 2012, and didn’t he claim that he would somehow secure the border without a full fence?
Did he and his people not actually study the issue back then?
The miniscule Texas State Guard, DPS and Texas Rangers report to the Governor, the NATIONAL Guard is funded by Fed and reports to the POTUS unless assigned otherwise. If you have verifiable linkage otherwise, please let us know.
