They will only be there as escorts to get the “innocent” out of Mexico and to their rightful sanctuary city here in the USA.

From the article...

...In a recent visit to El Paso, Texas Gov. Rick Perry called for 1,000 troops to protect the border....

....Obama was cautious, however. "We've got a very big border with Mexico," he said. "I'm not interested in militarizing the border...."

Bush changed that with the Warner Defense Authorization Act of 2007
Now, the Pres has power over the National Guard during emergencies. Dunno if it been changed since then.

Yep...as you say....State has to permit Mr. Obama to Order ANY troops in to Texas.
We will just send some Texas rangers down there along the border with Bubba and the Boys. Don’t mess with Texas BHOle.

Posse Commitatus has to do with using the US military (as the US military) to do police work.

Here we have a national border. Certainly appropriate to use the US military to defend the national border.

Don’t think Posse Commitatis counts when you are using the army to guard the border. It’s not law enforcement to stop an armed invasion.
