Perry may be going through the consulting phase to see what his options are.
Sending 1k troops would be testing the waters. Sending 20k NG troops would be
demonstrating his US Constitutional authority brought on by the inactions of the Federal.
Bottom line is that in this narrow spectrum concerning the border whatever action
is taken cannot be construed as a challenge to the US Constitution since it's
the Supreme power of the US Constitution that gives it to him, (Governor).
The Framers set up lines of defense to protect other states from being invaded
with people they didn't want. Aka, bringing in the Kings men to overthrow
the current elected Government and by using it's own laws, destroying the country
one state at a time. Those possibilities would allow the Kings men to
register in every state and elect their own in each state. There stands the
immigration authority which is ONLY granted to the Congress and Senate and only
by a majority vote. One man, "Obama" cannot alone bring in the kings men to
give itself King authority over both Houses, Period.
Thanks for that post.
