I'll bet you a dollar to a donut that if states called out their national guard, Bush would nationalize them and order them to stand down.

I would lose that bet, as I don't think Bush would hesitate to do just that. At which point the State of Arizona would have to position its police force on the border, in order to do what is right by its citizens.

None of this will happen, but it is nice to be able to dream. I know I would be a member of this militia group if I lived in Arizona.

That's because the National is federal. Texas and maybe a couple of other states have a STATE guard that answers only to the governor.
