This is exactly why we need a president from a border state in DC if we hope to correct the situation.

Why apprehend? It's an invasion; lethal force is obviously the proper response.
The TX constitution gives the governor the authority to use the national guard to repel invasion — leaving that aside, to assert that the states cannot make such a provision in their constitutions is to assert that the states lack all sovereignty and are merely strictly subservient to the federal government.
