SB1083, a bill to establish, fund, arm, and organize the Arizona State Guard to deploy on our southern border, will definitely pass.
This bill is legal, it is Constitutional, and it is backed by significant historical precedent. SB1083 follows the federal law contained in US Code Title 32 that authorizes states to establish what are referred to generally as "State Defense Forces":

There are 22 other states, plus the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, who have already established their State Defense Forces. Among these are California, Texas, and New Mexico. Arizona is the only southern border state that has not yet established their State Defense Force.
The Arizona Senate Staff has prepared an excellent Summary and Fact Sheet about SB1083:

Our group has done extensive research into the State Defense Force concept and we have collected dozens of white papers, monographs, and articles. Not one of these opposes the establishment of SDFs. On the contrary, every one of these fully supports and endorses the concept. Anyone can review these articles by visiting the "References" page on our website at http://www.azsdf.org .
The bill received a "do pass" recommendation from the Senate Border Security Committee on Thursday 26 January 2012. Everyone should take a few minutes and listen to Senator Frank Antenori's 6-minute monologue about why the State Guard will actually work for Arizona:
2012 Arizona State Legislature
Senator Antenori's comments begin at about the 2:20:30 mark. Everyone who loves this nation should take a few minutes to hear this, and to hear Senator Sylvia Allen "schooling" the Commanding General of the Arizona National Guard.
