President Barack Obama has sent a team to Texas to assess whether a U.S. National Guard deployment would help to handle an immigration crisis at the Mexican border, White House officials told Reuters on Wednesday, having so far resisted Republican calls for such a move.

The team, made up of officials from the Department of Defense and the Department of Homeland Security, departed on Tuesday and will be on the ground through Thursday.

A herpetologist posited that he was hatched from an egg,
but believed the mother was reptilian.
And named ‘Valerie.’

I suspect the “findings” will be that the TX has no right to deploy. That will create a big Constitutional question and could be the final blow to the republican form of government.

I also would charge back whether the use of military bases is appropriate and legal for civilian use. Posse Comitatus in reverse?

In the Rodney King riots in 92, the Governor called out the California National Guard, which partnered with the Sheriffs Department in performing law enforcement duties. Shortly thereafter, Bush 1 sent in Federal troops. As part of his action, he federalized the National Guard, which immediately prevented them from providing assistance in enforcement duties because of the Posse Comitatus Act. Essentially, they were no longer able to perform about 90% of the duties they’d been performing.

Could be Obie’s thinking of something like that.

Can you tell this guy never had a father?

That is supposed to make you the man of the house. Taking care of your siblings. Obama's problems are that he never ever left campaign mode. You do not have to make decisions while in campaign mode. All you have to do is vote present. And that is what he is doing now. Voting present in Texas.

No, Obama heard on the news that the NG can be deployed with orders to just stand there and
watch the illegals walk by. Obama can live with that kind of helping out.

Have the Texas Department of Public Safety detain them until they can be flown out, space available, on a TXANG 136th Air Wing C-130.

It’d be nice if he stopped ASSessing and actually did something positive for a change.

Every time he gets caught with his pants down, he starts lying. Blatantly.
