"Either post the California National Guard on the border, or seed the border with a few million "bouncing betty" anti-personnel landmines and the border will be secure."
The state of California's control over the national guard is pretty limited. They National Guard can be called upon by the governor in certin situations, but they are a federal entity not a state entity.
The state has no standing army. All they have are the state police, or if their laws provide for it, they could have a state militia.
I'd like to see someone seriously suggest activating a state militia in CA just to see the liberal scream in horror.
True. Even if the Governor were to do the right thing and deploy the California National Guard to the Mexican border, the president could simply federalize them and sent them right back to their barracks.

Actually, we do have a small, virtually unknown California State Military Reserve, primarily a land force but also with an air component, and plans to even add a naval militia.
Boxer and Pelosi's facelifts would rip at the seams. Bwaahahahahaha!
