I would like to see California boldly and forcefully repel this invasion, but I don't know how it would work.

EDIT:
When I look at this as Trump and his gang deliberately inciting conflict with state/local governments in order to have an excuse to seize control from them before the next election, the situation becomes even trickier.
If the governor activates them first, it limits the reasons the president can activate them and override the governor.
Of course Trump would try to do it anyway, meaning the NG commander would have to decide who to follow (and let's be real, it would probably be the president).
States giving up their military power was a mistake. States need to rebuild and restore their State Guards/State Defense Forces. The ability to federalize the National Guard removes its ability to function as the State Militias that it replaced.
No, being able to federalize them was intended. We weren't supposed to have a standing federal army, only call them up from the militias as needed.
Turned out pretty quick that that didn't work too well in reality.
It worked fine until we got a bit of that sweet sweet imperialism.
