The Georgia Guard sent a few units, like one or two platoons at most, to the border back in '08.
In talking to some of those guys, the rules set in place for them in regards to weapons were so onerous as to be unitelligible.
Even worse was the confusion that reigned between the USBP guys and the Guard over whom was supposed to be protecting whom.
Edited to add:
My issue is with U.S. Army ground units, be they state or federal, being used in active interdiction along the border.
Military ISR assests would be of great help to the CBP guys, in my opinion. And that is good real world training for them, too.
