As we all know, normal operations was allowing millions of illegal migrants from crossing the border. If the minuteman project is upsetting normal operations, then they should keep at it. Border crossings are down!
Bump!
THANKS checked out gogov.com. will use it.
QUESTION: Could a border state Governor legally activate the National Guard and post them on the border under the premise of an emergency response to illegal immigration?
Isn't it an "emergency" like a natural disaster? Governors do this after hurricanes and such, to guard aginst looting and lawlessness. I consider rampant illegal immigration to be just as "lawless" as looting and rioting.
Now to be sure, the Feds would most likely "federalize" the troops and send them back to the barracks, but it sure would send a message to Washington that we are severely fed up with the current situation.
I don't think Napolitano(Arizona) would do it because she seems too much like a squish when push comes to shove.
I know Richardson(New Mexico) wouldn't do it because he's a third world loving PU$%Y.
Perry(Texas) Wouldn't do it because he's a Bush apologizer/crony.
But....Arnie(California) might do it. He's certainly got the balls and seems to be pretty sympathetic to our cause.
