No, not it at all. The National Guard is there to assist a governor in times of unrest, but they aren't a substitute for trained police. The only reason why this works in DC is because DC is not run by any state.
In California, the Nat Guard was only called in to protect ICE from rioters so that they could do their jobs. California has been treasonous in their refusal to assist ICE. Trump just decided that if California was making excuses, he'd provide the manpower required. Both sides were lying about what was legal. It's just a question of what the public expects of them and the public is mostly garbage pickers who are playing both sides.
When it comes down to it, the real problem isn't illegals or drug cartels. It's coastal states who prefer cheap foreign labor to make the shit they sell here. The inland industrial towns of the past have collapsed.
This is simply not about "rights". This is an economic maneuver that is likely to fail because Trump's own party is likely to betray him for the stockholder money. He's mostly doing this to educate the public in a way that they won't ever learn if they think they can gamble on stocks and make it. Why doesn't the message get though? Because people aren't going to make the intuitive leap when you are taking advantage of internal reckless baby factories instead of foreign ones. Nobody gives a damn about your shiny DC parade grounds. They want a better life.
