Will they use the Guard to protect New York's borders
if the Governor of New York decides he has had enough with out-of-staters taking "New York
jobs"? Is the southern border plan a practice run?

1. No and they shouldnt

They shouldnt even put them on the southern border, they've tied the hands of the Border Patrol so much so what the hell is the NG going to bring to the table?

But hey you bring up a straw... good point why don't we put the NG in front of these big tech and banking companies so they can't continue to send all of our jobs to india.

3. We already have the Border Patrol 76 miles INSIDE the NY border...

...running a checkpoint on southbound I-87, at mile marker 100 (a few yards north of the High Peaks rest area). It's avoidable simply by getting off at exit 30 and taking US Rt 9 south and then getting back on at Exit 29.

It's the silliest use of our tax dollars I've seen...:eyes:
