Why do the border states (individually) simply not call out the militia?

This is a Constitutional use of the militia, and I’m sure there would be loads of volunteers.

What can one say about a treasonous government that hasn’t been said? If I had the authority the illegal alien invasion would stop and the people that allowed it would get theirs. Never thought I would see the day when our government would not defend the nation's sovereignty.

Good article, yet very sad and disturbing.

Just read an article stating that if the drug violence spills over the border, they may send over the military.

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/nation/6204251.html

EL PASO — If Mexican drug violence spills across the U.S. border, Homeland Security officials say they have a contingency plan to assist border areas that includes bringing in the military...

The plan includes federal homeland security agents helping local authorities and maybe even military assistance from the Department of Defense, possibly including aircraft, armored vehicles and special teams to go to areas overwhelmed with violence, authorities said.

Kudwa would not give specifics on the so-called “surge” plan, but said it does not create any new authorities.

“A nation is not a nation, if it cannot control its borders.”

There’s the bottom line!

Maybe that is why they are tripling the size of Ft Bliss.
