[Vision2020] Here’s What Rick Perry Looked Like While Touring the Border on a ‘Badass’ Boat

[Wayne Price]

Quick answer to your question:

Q. "Without activating the Texas National Guard, thus placing them under the control of the federal government, who can readily "bring the National Guard to secure the border"?

A ." Soldiers in the National Guard train one weekend each month, with one two-week training period each year. They’re typically called into action by a state governor, who can send them to the site of any officially declared emergency in the state. This is usually a weather-related emergency, but civil unrest or terrorist attacks are other emergencies they may respond to. Guard troops can also be used for security details at borders and airports."    http://science.howstuffworks.com/national-guard.htm

Since the current president has abrogated his role in stopping this latest border crises, the governors should act to protect the borders of their states.


'nuff said?
