The Sherriff needs to deputize a couple of hundred folks, take M16's and M203's from the TXNG armory, give a Safety/LOAC/ROE breifing and see what happens. The FED's shure as sh*t arent going to do diddly.
If something happens, the TX gov needs to roll some M1 Abrahams and put them on the border.
Enough of this crap.

This brings up an interesting question... Let's say that the governor of a state calls up the national guard to patrol a border that happens to be a border with a foreign country. Constitutionally, that's the federal government's job, and a state official does not have the authority to do something like that. More importantly, what would happen when the federal government decides that they like the status quo better, and overrides the governor by federalizing the guard...

If the Mexicans are bringing M-2-HBs, they're gonna need something better than M-16/M-203s. They're going to need ATGMs and Barretts.
