Oregon's governor says that if President Donald Trump asks to dispatch members of her state's National Guard to the US southern border, she'll "say no."
In a set of tweets Wednesday, Democratic Gov. Kate Brown said she was "deeply troubled" by Trump's plan to send members of the US military to the border and implied that the President is doing so as a political distraction.
"If @realDonaldTrump asks me to deploy Oregon Guard troops to the Mexico border, I'll say no. As Commander of Oregon's Guard, I'm deeply troubled by Trump's plan to militarize our border," the tweet said.
Brown also said that although she has not been contacted by the Trump administration or others regarding Oregon's National Guard troops, she has "no intention of allowing Oregon's guard troops to be used to distract from his troubles in Washington."

President Trump will repay them , when the time comes.
Oregon’s border like Washington State’s border was over run by Californians decades ago.
There’s nothing left to protect and little difference between the nuttery of the 3 states. Think of them as inbred.
Well, Mexifornia
(Actually, based on their prior voting patterns, a sizeable segment of Oregonians are obviously on the border of insanity, and some would say that a large segment of them are already well across that border.)
She has no choice because they are funded by the Feds and when the Pres calls he rulrs.
Amen!
Which border? Washington? Idaho? Nevada? Mexifornia?
In many respects Oregon is nuttier than Calif.
[Today I learned Oregon is on the border.]
Those earthquakes have really changed things a lot!!
Reminds me of when I went to Taco Bell in San Angeles!
Trump can Federalize the National Guard and there’s not a damn thing she can do about it. It is NOT her call in any way.
Trump has the power to Federalize the National Guard. Nothing new.
.
Oregon is unsder the control of the SEIU.
Even the governor has to be a member !
.
with half the population of portland hooked on heroin one would think the gov would want to try and keep that stuff out
What a twit. The chances of Trump asking the Oregon NG go to our southern borders is about as likely as winning the powerball.
Several posts yesterday and today?
Oh noes!
Glad we have a hall monitor.
Thanks Gator!

Did anyone ASK Oregon to send troops to the border????
Um...no......
Trump should send all detained illegals to Portland and let Her taste her own stupidity.
Visiting Portland 16 years ago I was unimpressed by the many citizens who seemed to be high on drugs and weak in dress. More tie-dyed t-shirts with pony tailed, spaced out, folks looking for their next fix (a-holes) then I could count. Not worth worrying about what they could become, they are arrived. No more visits to the putrid Northwest.
two things can happen here.
First: Under the U.S. Constitution, each state’s National Guard unit is controlled by the governor in time of peace but can be called up for federal duty by the president.
The Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 forbids U.S. troops from being deployed on American soil for law enforcement. The one exception is provided by the Insurrection Act of 1807, which lets the president use the military only for the purpose of putting down rebellions or enforcing constitutional rights if state authorities fail to do so.
The president will be calling them for the protection of a border from an invading force coming through Mexico from Central America threatening our sovereignty.
Two: Oregon is number 12 of states in the US for receiving federal aid meaning there are only 11 other states that receive more. Maybe they should be reminded they shouldn’t deficate where they eat.
