| Warning: The link is a PDF file 109th Congress 1st Session H.R. 3622 To authorize the Governor of a State to organize and call into service a militia of able-bodied and eligible citizens to help prevent individuals from unlawfully crossing an international border and entering the United States anywhere other than a port of entry, to appropriate funds to support this service, and for other purposes. |

| #2 I can't look at the linked PDF doc because it'll automatically crash my piece-of-s#!t Winduhs 98 system. I'd like to up the ante on the idea of official state-raised militias and call for the Border Patrol to be (1) reorganized along military lines (think a land-bound version of the USCG), and (2) given the authorization and funding to recruit, train and deploy six divisions' worth of border-defense troops. |

| #1 This is a 'no go' without the inclusion of clear and direct wording to the effect that challenges to the employment, operation, and funding of the militia in such capacity are not subject to judicial review at the federal level, that any act by members of the federal judiciary who do take such cases shall not be in good behavior and removed as the Congress shall see fit. |
