An honest question:
Rick Perry can declare an “emergency” but what actual resources does he have without the Feds ?
What force can he deploy ?
National guard? Deputies? Rangers?
Im sure he could gather up 10,000 VOLUNTEERS who would be more than willing to stop this madness!
How inept would D.C. look to the rest of the country if texas shut down their southern border with zero federal help?
Obammie the Commie set the precedent that the Executive can do whatever he wants...recess appointments when the house is not adjourned, arming of Al Qaeda through Benghazi.
Perry ought to just call up his state’s Nat. Guard and deploy them, swap supplies with other states.
I don’t know. Just trying to figure out ways to “stick it to the man,” who is now the one that used to loathe “the man.”
The Governor can activate National Guard (Air & Army) forces under USC Title 32. Texas also has a “Texas State Guard” for just this type of emergency, we have the Rangers, and Sheriffs have deputation authority. We will be OK. Come on down...
Case in point (rules do not apply):

Kidding around, of course. But we ought to stick it to the left right back.

Above all else, first & foremost, Gov Rick Perry needs to grow a pair of balls instantly!..... and then stick to it. Instead he will cave & fold like a wet blanket the instant that a federal judge or Holder's Just-Us dept tells him to stop.
Governor Perry can call forth the state military forces and the reserve militia to repel the invasion.
