Nevada’s GOP governor: Border duty not ‘an appropriate use' of National Guard
The Hill ^ | April 7, 2018 | Jacqueline Thomsen

Nevada’s GOP governor has come out against President Trump’s plan to send the National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border.

A spokeswoman for Gov. Brian Sandoval said in an email to the Associated Press Friday that Sandoval doesn’t believe deploying members to the border would be “an appropriate use” of the National Guard.

Defense Secretary James Mattis signed a memo Friday authorizing the National Guard to deploy up to 4,000 troops to the border.

Trump had announced last week that the military would send troops to defend the southern border until his border wall was completed. The White House later clarified that the National Guard would be sent to the border.

Arizona and Texas have both stated that they will send troops to the border starting this weekend.

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) vowed Thursday to reject the request to send National Guard troops to the border.

For the Governor of Nevada...

If you recall your history, during the Civil War, The Army of Tennessee did NOT just fight in Tennessee...The Army of Massachusetts did NOT just fight in Mass. The Army of Virginia did NOT just fight in Virginia...

” posse comitatus laws” refer to American military versus American citizens...The illegals crossing our southern border are NOT American citizens...

That’s irrelevant to your Posse Commitatus assertion.

Illegal entry is not an invasion, it is a misdemeanor.

Illegal aliens are subject to the laws of the US. Illegal entry is a misdemeanor.

Anyone, whether illegal or legal, that is inside the border of the United States, except for those with diplomatic immunity, are subject to the laws of the US...

What’s your point?

Notice it’s always the blue state governors who are against this.

There is a proportion of the GOP which is completely sold out to foreign workers.

They are a big part, of what is wrong with the party.

A big part.

Yes. RINOs want their cheap labor, rats want their votes. American children lose.

The national guard can do construction work like fix the fence or they can be observers and call the border patrol if they see some illegals

The fact that they lack tanks and helicopter gunships doesn’t mean they are not invaders.

Unless the President declares it a National Security violation or declares a National Emergency, then they can detain and arrest...

Nevada is built by cheap cash under the table illegal aliens. I know contractors that had armed guards on pay day with AR15s . — no cameras allowed and the room was one on one and changed every pay day. That governor is corrupt as hell IMO. IT IS MANDATORY WE STOP UNDERCUTTING AMERICAN JOBS.

You have to try to be that stupid. That’s literally the responsibility of the federal government, to protect the various states and the union.

May that idiot be shunned out of office.

“The pressure on those of us living here isn’t pleasant. Now, the big push is about the ‘homeless’. They are trying to make taxpayers support homeless in MOTELS & HOTELS & taking over old buildings & renovating them FOR THE HOMELESS. Like feeding feral cats-—they keep coming back & they keep multiplying.”

They have learned from their liberal/lying brethren in California.

We have making the so called homeless comfortable for decades at the cost of roads, bridges and other infrastructure.
