Jonathon Moseley, executive director of American Border Control, told WND his group has been sending letters to members of the legislatures in border states such as Texas and Arizona.
The letters point out that the Constitution requires the federal government to secure the borders if state legislatures or governors ask.
The group cites Section 4, Article 4 of the U.S. Constitution, which states:
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
American Border Control is asking legislatures of states along the Mexican border “to formally demand that the United States government immediately secure” the border.
ABC argues the constitutional is “unconditional,” “objective, not subjective,” “does not allow any decision by Washington” and “does not empower the U.S. government.”
“Thus, it is a constitutional command that the United State government ‘shall’ protect the border states against (a) invasion and (b) domestic violence related to a failure to secure the border,” ABC’s request to states explains.
“Border incursions by violent drug smugglers and other criminals form the primary basis for this constitutional demand. To protect against these criminals, the U.S. government is constitutionally required to secure the state’s borders (for all purposes).”
The request notes that the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that states gave up many of their rights to pass laws controlling incursions when they joined the union. Furthermore, President Obama has exercised absolute control in that regard, bringing a lawsuit against Arizona for its law allowing state law enforcement officers to enforce federal immigration laws.

Nothing is stopping each state from engaging in War against invaders, as is their right by way of the Constitution.

mandamus (man-dame-us)
noun-Latin-”we order”
A writ which orders a public agency or governmental body to perform an act required by law when it has neglected or refused to do so.
The writ of mandamus can also be issued in a mandamus proceeding,
independent of any judicial proceeding.
A petition for a mandamus order is made to compel a judicial or government officer
to perform a duty owed to the petitioner.
So, a state is going to ask that the feral government, already invaded by marxists, protect said state’s borders against invading marxists, when their borders (ie, 10th amendment) have already been breached?
If American citizens used physical force to stop illegal aliens from invading the country Uncle Scam would order the military to protect the illegals and kill American citizens to do it. It's not "our" government anymore.

Sure there is. The self-same Federal Government.
