California has rejected the federal government’s initial plans for National Guard troops to the border because the work is considered too closely tied to immigration enforcement, two U.S. officials told The Associated Press.
The state informed federal officials it will not allow its troops to fix and repair vehicles, operate remotely-controlled surveillance cameras to report suspicious activity to the Border Patrol, operate radios and provide “mission support,” which can include clerical work, buying gas and handling payroll, according to officials with knowledge of the talks who spoke condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
California Gov. Jerry Brown elicited rare and effusive praise from President Donald Trump last week after he pledged 400 troops to the Guard’s third large-scale border mission since 2006.

Here's what ya do...
Heavy border patrols in Texas, NM and Arizona, leave the California border open.. Advertise their border is not being strongly monitored. All illegals will bypass the other states and head straight for California.
Let's see how long their sympathy lasts before they start crying for Federal help.

If I remember correctly a state has the right to do that. But screw state rights dude. Those darn pot smokers just sit there and play video games after work and eat pizza for 5.99 USD. They don’t care about the borders of their states. Even when “60%” of all the woman crossing that border are being raped. BTW how the hell does someone even get a percentage on that? Anyways i’m Done now.
Odd, this statement does not seem to exist in the source you cite.

California National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Thomas Keegan said Monday that the state was awaiting a formal response from the administration and had no additional details beyond the governor’s proposed agreement released last week that includes a ban on immigration enforcement.

Cannabis has nothing to with it don't be so ignorant, I'm a long time cannabis user and agree that the borders need to be patrolled and definitely disagree with Brown on this big time and I'm also a trump supporter please don't judge people before knowing them. On that note have a great day.
