Quote HistoryQuoted:
It's going to be interesting to see how La Raza reacts to this. I imagine initially it's going to be a lot of "Es racisto!" going on and calls for total amnesty in the face of this fundamental unfairness that is sickitatin' to all those of a progressive mindset but if Perry and the other governors in the border states hold their ground it will change to "Oye, ese, maybe we can work something out..." That's the question, will these politicians have the guts to spend the money and suffer the slings and arrows sure to be flung at them from the libtard left? Jerry Brown will send busses to Mexico to shepard the illegals across in California.

Quite to the contrary, I think it sounds great. I just expect it to be a big show and no blow. He'll still have to abide by federal immigration policy, so basically this just means TX NG will be escorting the illegals to their new quarters on military bases or in luxury resorts.

Can Texas not do a training exercise (Operation Build a big fucking fence and guard it)? they could. The larger issue is an effective fence is only of value when properly surveilled. Who will do the surveillance? And there is the physical cost. So texas builds a fence. they cross from New Mexico or Arizona or California. And then cross into Texas through state borders. Border security is a core function of the federal government. States can't do it effectively piecemeal. |

California and New Mexico won't play. Crossing into New Mexico and then diverting East and West nullifies any efforts on Texas and Arizona's part. Which is what it is. This whole thing about the border is like drilling here in the states. For years the dems and libs said even if we started to drill right now we wouldn't have oil for at least 5 years. Some one, some governor, some state, has to do something. Some one has to start the ball rolling. The feds sure the Hell aren't and they claim the job. Where comprehensive monitoring, where fencing has been built, where arrests have been made, the tactics have been effective. To say NM and Cali nullify TX and AZ so why bother is just giving the administration what they want. |

State Militias still exist, but they are a sad shadow of their former selves, and the Texas State Guard is certainly no exception. The rise of the National Guard as we know it was the death knell for at least somewhat effective and substantial State military forces, although there were certainly a few States that held out for some time. The idea that the National Guard is the militia is silly when one considers their nature, which is why the Constitution's militia clauses are not really of relevance regarding them. |

That they are pathetic is undeniable, but they are in fact State military organizations, just not very good ones (which IMO is something States should change). States can have their own military forces in the form of militias; the constitution probably would not have been ratified had things been understood differently. |

Show me where they claim to be combat arms That has absolutely zero to do with the discussion. Zero. They are not military, and I personally think the uniforms and military structure do them a disservice to an otherwise potentially good organization by attracting the wrong crowd and mentality. I'm still trying to make sense of your statement that they were in Somalia. 
Just about every TXSG member that has been present on this board has fabricated large amounts of nonsense in one form or another, including their equivalent to an 04 in their ranks. Every interaction I have personally had with them while in Texas has been mind-numbingly frustrating and often downright insulting. I have seen a broad scope of the organization and there has been absolutely nothing to lead me away from the conclusion that they are a bunch of wannabees riding the fact that they get to wear a uniform and have the ability to lead people on into believing they are something they are not. In fact, up until a few years ago when it got blown open here the majority of them were posting that they were military veterans and demanded the respect and customs/courtesies afforded to servicemembers. I have seen them wearing their uniforms at gun ranges and around town on non-drill weekends looking for validation, and every major airport in Texas has them scurrying about (again in uniform) doing the same. I had one kid around 2006 at a buddy's ranch tell me I needed to go to parade rest while talking to him because I was an E4 and he was an E5 in the TXSG. I was on convo leave from a 15 month Iraq tour after taking frag from a hand grenade at the time, didn't pan out as he expected. The bottom line is they are generally a joke thanks to the model they have created for themselves. Calling them up is symbolic in nature and nothing but a politically motivated waste of time and money. |

I had one kid around 2006 at a buddy's ranch tell me I needed to go to parade rest while talking to him because I was an E4 and he was an E5 in the TXSG. I was on convo leave from a 15 month Iraq tour after taking frag from a hand grenade at the time, didn't pan out as he expected. Question for you then. You consider everyone in the txsg a fraud then? |

There are prior service mil in their ranks, and a good friend of mine actually did 7-8 years with them in East Texas. That doesn't change the fact that they need to turn down the burner on the whole military thing, and focus more on community and civic responsibility without the associated tether of implied military service. |

See we actually agree on something. Don't judge the entire organization based on a few shit bags and the political bs from politicians. |

Texas state guard? The Salvation Army in camo Did not know the S.A. had a presence in Somalia! *mind blown* Are you trying to erroneously tell us that the Texas State Guard deployed to Somalia? No... I'm factually saying that I DID NOT KNOW that the Salvation Army (abbreviated as S.A., as I mistakenly thought that nobody could possibly confuse the two... guess I was wrong) was in Somalia, the location the quoted poster shows in his kitchy little political statement of flying the Somali flag. But you're so wrapped around the axle on this that you dumped your sense of humor way back to carry more hate for the TXSG. And while I'm not going to argue the point(s) with you, you are sure spun up about it like I've never seen anyone on an issue here. You DO NOT pass up an opportunity to take a shot at them. |

I guess it's a worthwhile symbolic step, but as above, anything short of "shoot the invaders" will have no effect on this. Somehow I'm not surprised you would say that.
