While I am not a constitutional scholar like our President I do not remember reading that in any article or ammendment. I am sure you are correct but can you tell me where it is contained?

Let me look it up or ask one, I do know the subject was broached post Katrina, and the lack of action by the White house and calls for Federal Troops., which had to do with Federal and States rights and privilege. Hold that thought. I will find out exactly as it is stated and if wrong will admit it as well.

Found it kinda, it is a federal law not exactly part of the constitution but close enough. However the national guard can be mobilized and sent to the border with no legal obstructions.

Posse Comitatus Act Sec. 15. From and after the passage of this act it shall not be lawful to employ any part of the Army of the United States, as a posse comitatus, or otherwise, for the purpose of executing the laws, except in such cases and under such circumstances as such employment of said force may be expressly authorized by the Constitution or by act of Congress ; and no money appropriated by this act shall be used to pay any of the expenses incurred in the employment of any troops in violation of this section and any person willfully violating the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and on conviction thereof shall be punished by fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars or imprisonment not exceeding two years or by both such fine and imprisonment
