The Governors of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas should join together to put the federal government on notice. Either it takes care of the border issue, or they would. I agree in principle, though upon the details I might differ depending upon logistics. Without sovereignty, our votes mean nothing. Certainly I would extend respect of the militia in the sense that property owners have every right to defend their land against encroachment.
Thanks for the comments. To be sure there'd have to be adjustments made along the way. The concept I fronted would certainly have to be fleshed out.
