Gov Brewer has every right to deploy her own NG to the border and she can personally order them to actually guard the border. With the money she will save on schooling, jailing, and medicating illegal aliens, she can easily afford it. I’ll bet more than a few Guardsmen are out of work and would jump at the opportunity to get paid for full time duty.
National Guard units are under Federal control. Governors have to ask permission to use them. Every Southern state needs to seriously consider forming a ARMED state Defence Force to protect it’s borders.
