My understanding is governors have pretty wide latitude to call out the Guard for internal state emergencies — a hurricane, etc.
But doesn’t Article I spell out pretty clearly that it’s on Congress to repel a foreign invasion? That’s why no state has unilaterally deployed troops on the border?
And not to be negative, but you know what the answer would be — “No. The border is secure.”
US Constitution Article I Section. 10 Clause 3: No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.
Looks like an invasion to me, 20 million strong and growing.
Appling for protection.
US Constitution Article IV Section. 4. The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
