National Guard's Deployment to Southwest Border

The interesting point is that the President is deploying the National Guard which means the troops will be in federal status, they will not report directly to their respective governors. It also means these troops will be unavailable to support state mission (floods, disaster relief) while in federal status. It also appears these troops are being sent by DHS and the President with no inputs from the governors of the border states. In an attempt to appease the border states, the President is making more of a mess.
