isn't the real job of the guard to defend it's citizens from outside (foreign) threats?

Why is it ok to send the national guard to the other side of the globe to fight so called terrorists but not defend your own citizens at home in there own houses?

Texas should call all it's active guard and use it to defend the border and tell Washington DC to go eff themselves, "we don't have extra manpower to fight your war in the middle east, we are busy right here doing your job for you".

Because Texas is good at slogans and barbecue, but when it comes to the Feds, you can mess with Texas.

I think we know the real reason, Texas is ran by establishment "R's", if they were run by freedom loving libertarian minded folks, they would do exactly what I said.

Your barbecue is way overrated. Just like your football.

ETA: What would their NG do? They are not going to shoot illegals they see sneaking in. And if they arrest them and turn them over to INS, the illegals will have a permanent home in Texas.

Because mobilizing it's NG would be bad for business. Business wants cheap labor. From Exxon-Mobil down to the guy running his own hardware store. Easy immigration into the US means cheap labor,

You'll never see executives for Tyson Foods, Wal-Mart, GM, GE, Microsoft protesting illegal immigrants from Mexico and Central America. Never.

That doesn't explain why the Dims love illegals.

Politicians love stupid voters.

Dems love voting blocks that need overt government assistance.

GOP loves voting blocks that want govt. subsidies.

Dems love the potential voters. Business love the cheap labor. The average tea party person loses both ways. You have to figure that Republican business executives are laughing at the tea party people for their votes.

well we know that both Dem and Rep parties are loaded w/ crony-capitalists and many on the left love the idea of increasing the welfare state of America. It's not that we don't really know the issues, it's just that this is a real opportunity for citizens who love the U.S. as a sovereign nation state to stand up and demand their local politicians to represent and do the jobs they have sworn an oath to carry out.

If there aren't enough real patriots in the state of Texas to get this done, then the country really is probably finished.

The only reason Texas doesn't secede is for disaster funds. When Ike and Rita came, it devastated the Gulf Coast.

It's a lot easier to secede when you have several billion in the bank to cover those disasters. Perry acts like he takes a hard line with Barry, but he's just a mere sheep.

What? Where do you guys come up with this shite? Wal-Mart doesn't want to be caught paying people under the table.

Why would Exxon want illegals?
