Jan Brewer can call out the state’s NG units for things like riot control, disaster relief, etc. I think this qualifies.
However, if the Governor activates the Guard, then the State pays for it. If the Feds call out the Guard, the financial burden shifts to them.
This was one of the reasons Napolitano forced the issue on her watch.
Thank you. That makes sense. If Brewer would put them down there, I think the money spent would balance with the money saved by the illegals not being here to soak up welfare services.
