I'm kinda vague on this but it has something to do with the Federal government can't deploy troops within it's borders without permission from the states they'll be in. We had the same trouble with Hurricane Katrina- no National Guard to keep order because some permission form didn't get signed.

probably because the "threat" from mexico is pretty much all in some peoples mind ... i dont feel in danger from that ... but i might if there were a few hundred thousand troops across the border with 1000+ artillery pieces ...
