Where are the National Guard Troops when you need them to close the US Southern Border?
Who knows, - - - maybe Gov. Perry will grow a spine before Labor Day?

I know nada about political strategy but I think it’s interesting and also disappointing that we have heard little from Abbott and nothing from Patrick about this issue. Presuming that both will win their election, by the time November rolls around most of Mexico, Central American and God only knows what other countries will have crossed the border into Texas.

That is a question I have been asking myself. I always thought that National Guard troops fell under the governor's control unless they were called up under federal jurisdiction. That is why they can be called to active duty to deal with floods, etc. Maybe it is simply a matter of money; i.e., when called up by the governor, they would have to be paid by the state, not DOD. Sounds like it's time for the border states to put up or shut up - and ask people in other states to donate to a fund specifically to fund that call-up.
Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution reads "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence."
The federal government has overtly violated this section by ordering the Border Patrol to not arrest (and keep under restraint) people violating our border. Current violators of the border are being released on their own recognizance, the federal government knowing that they will not show up for their ordered court appearances. Therefore, the states have the right to protect themselves.
