This sets up a dilemma for Obama. Perry would be defending the border, while Obama will oppose him because the Federal Government has the responsibility to secure our borders, which it refuses to do. So, will the Federal Government tell its troops or officers to use deadly force to enforce its decision NOT to secure our borders? In essence will the personnel under his control be willing to commit an act of war against the United States by using deadly force against U.S. National Guardsmen?

“In Iowa on Sunday, Perry told a small group at a VFW hall that if President Barack Obama fails to heed his longstanding request to send 1,000 additional National Guard troops, he would use his authority as governor to do so.”

More talk. Stop begging Obama to “do something.” This invasion IS his “solution.”

Perry should order a flotilla of boats to patrol the Rio.

My understanding is that once the National Guard is called up by a state the President can nationalize them.

So Perry needs to make sure that he calls up that national guard that is beholden to Texas first.

he is serious, when he puts a lot more than 1k on the border, and they implement a mine field, tunnel sensors to make a real border.

This could get interesting.

Perry uses the Texas National Guard, and Hussein opposes him and demands he stop using the military to defend our national borders.

Perry demands Obama uphold his oath to the Constitution, and Bathouse Barry spends another weekend with Reggie Love while Manchelle eats a lobster.

Perry has hinted at Texas secession many times.

Rick Perry Takes Stand On Texas Secession Issue

Texas governor says secession possible

The country would go ballistic (as would the media) if the biggest job creator state in the nation did this. It might wake up the nation.

In IOWA!!!!!!! Why not just do it, Rick? Why do you have to be on the campaign trail talking about it. You kinda remind me of the jester in the white house, just yacking on about it....do it. Yep, Ol Campaign Rick is hard at it I see. This is more of a “throw something on the wall and see if it sticks” routine.

Hey Rick if you have advisers on here you might want them to tell you to be a lil more decisive. The horse is way down the road and the gate is still wide open.

This band-aid is just that a band-aid. 1000 will not even cover one sector of the border. Why don’t you call up the state militia and any volunteer that wants to go that passes a background check or has a conceal carry. Now that would be a big decision on your part and show some real guts.

Depending on what their assignments are and how soon they are stationed and for how long, this smacks of the same kind of posturing GW Bush did when he 'ordered 6,000 NG on the border'.

GW's 6,000 were gradually assigned, for a few weeks at a time, in groups, over a period of months, so there was never a full complement of 6,000 at the border at one time. It was a political ploy to appease the anti-amnesty/secure-the-border voices.

Additionally, GW's 6,000 were assigned to filing paperwork, filling out forms, washing vehicles, etc. They were not even allowed to carry weapons.


Regrettably, Hinojosa may be right, since Perry is making sounds of wanting to run for the presidency again.

Maybe this will bring about the clean up or down USSC decision on the 10th Amendment. Let's see if the liberals on the Court vote the 10th Amendment Unconstitutional. They have gone against him 13 times on less clear issues.

snip
“This is not a militarization of the border,” the memo states. “The DPS and the
National Guard are working to keep any drug and human trafficking south of
(U.S. Highway) 83 and with the goal of keeping any smuggling from entering
major highways to transport East/West/and North.”

DPS officials want to send National Guard troops into western areas of the
Valley and the ranch lands further north, according to the memo.

“Smuggling has supposedly according to DPS moved West on the border with an
increase in Jim Hogg County,” the memo states. “DPS especially wants to
apply the Guard in the rural areas to patrol.”

I’ll believe this when I see it. LaRaza Rick should have done this long long ago instead of whining about the Marxist/Muslim not doing anything.
