Caesar Obama is fiddling while the border-situation ‘burns’. This is an attempt to force his hand. This is a symbolic deployment. 1,000 guardsman — a muscled-up infantry battalion — can’t possibly cover the Texas border with Mexico. But I imagine that local law enforcement might possibly turn over detainees to the Texas Guard rather than to the Feds who would probably begin resettling them in some US neighborhoods.
Maybe other states should send volunteers to help.
