Time to militarize the border. If the feds refuse to do it, and shrug off their Constitutional duties, then it will have to fall upon the border states to do it with the resources that they have available. Kick out the border patrol, and all of the rest of the useless federal agencies, call up the National Guard through authority of the respective Governors, put all state law enforcement on high alert, organize and deputize any land owners along the border, and expel anyone who tries to cross illegally. The feds will obviously fight you tooth and nail to prevent this, to the point of turning their guns on you, and you know that they will. That who just prove beyond a doubt that the feds are aiding and abetting a foreign invader, and would be in effect declaring war on the individual states, and violating their Constitutional obligations. If they go that far, then any federal law would be null and void, and authority would fall back to the individual states. The federal government needs the states more than the states need them.

"Time to militarize the border"

That's not going to happen because Clinton sent the Marines down there and they ended up killing a Mexican-American teen boy who was grazing goats.

What about the national guard? Gov Brewer(AZ) and/or Perry(TX) can call out their guard but they have to pay for it and they don't want to.

They want the Prez to call out the guard because the feds and the other states have to pay for it. Bush sent the guard to the border and many states complained that they should not be paying to do something the feds and the border states should be paying for.

Sad, but true. It’s only a matter of time.
