Nonfeasance

The intentional failure to perform a required duty or obligation.

Soon after taking office, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham pulled most of the National Guard troops from the New Mexico - Mexico border. Since then the state has been flooded with illegal migrants entering the state.

Grisham has also denied that there was even a "crisis" at the border.

Now, in an incredible display of chutzpah, she is now going to Washington, D.C. to get reimbursement from the federal government.

According to the Corvallis Gazette-Times:

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The Latest on immigration and border-related concerns in New Mexico (all times local): 

2:20 p.m. 

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is traveling to Washington, D.C., to press for more federal resources to cope with an influx of asylum seekers at the U.S. border with Mexico. 

Lujan Grisham spokesman Tripp Stelnicki said the governor was departing Tuesday for a scheduled face-to-face meeting this week with acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan. 

Stelnicki said the governor will advocate for federal reimbursements to local communities as they provide humanitarian relief to migrant families. 

Lujan Grisham also wants to discuss the U.S. Border Patrol's withdrawal from interior checkpoints in southern New Mexico that has riled local residents. 

The first-year Democratic governor also is seeking an introductory meeting with Energy Secretary Rick Perry regarding his oversight of nuclear waste storage facilities and federal weapons laboratories in New Mexico. 

The governor's trip includes partisan fundraising activities.

A dozen Republican state legislators want Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to reverse course and deploy more National Guard troops to the border with Mexico. 

GOP House lawmakers including minority leader James Townsend of Artesia provided a letter Monday to the governor's office that urges Lujan Grisham to deploy more state National Guard troops to border communities. 

Lujan Grisham has challenged President Trump's description of a security crisis on the border and withdrawn all but a dozen national guardsmen who continue to address humanitarian needs in a remote corridor for border-crossing immigration.

It is due to Lujan Grisham's nonfeasance that there is a crisis in New Mexico. She has a lot of nerve!
