From your link:

The proposal would put $10 million into the budget for Gov. Janet Napolitano to mobilize at least some of the state's 4,000 Guard troops.

1) The Governor of the state called for the mobilization, which what I stated earlier was the route that had to be taken. Bush is not to blame if the Governors fail to act.

2) It is the state NG, which does not fall under the Federal Posse Comitatus.

Therefore, my points are still correct. Bush cannot put troops on the borders, it is up to each individual Governor to request mobilization if they deem it necessary.

If you want troops on the border of your state, bug the heck out of your Governor, don't bash Bush for something beyond his power.
