NM Gov Changing Her Tune On Immigration



About a week ago, I posted a blog about New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's trip to Washington, D.C. to seek reimbursement for state and local funds spent on dealing with the migrant crisis that has hit the state.

Initially, Lujan Grisham denied there was even a crisis and pulled the National Guard from the border. Her nonfeasance made the problem into the crisis we see today. Others are now taking notice of her incompetence.

Liberty Nation posted:
The radical-leftist governor of New Mexico, who sent National Guard troops packing in February, needs federal help now, it seems. She’s in the Swamp to beg for funding as illegal immigrants overwhelm the state. After months of neglecting the border cities and towns, toeing the DC elite party line of no “crisis” here, and facing a veritable citizens’ revolt in the Land of Enchantment, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham is demanding federal government assistance for the dire situation – one she exacerbated through indifference to constituents.

And it comes on the heels of yet another county drawing a line in the sand and refusing any further influx of illegal immigrants seeking asylum. Sierra County, boasting a population 11,116 and a 21% poverty rate, joined Otero and Lincoln counties in passing resolutions opposing the relocation of migrants to their communities. 
This isn’t just happening in these three counties, either – it’s an untenable and cruel situation being thrust on an impoverished state by government officials who seem to be mere puppets for the Democratic Party. 
In February, Grisham made national news for thumbing her nose at the president, her citizens, and national security when she sent the National Guard packing. She blithely stated: “New Mexico will not take part in the president’s charade of border fear-mongering,” and received a blast of positive kudos from Democrat toadies in the Swamp. It fit their narrative perfectly and from a border state to boot.
But three short months later, after recall and impeachment petitions*, shameful national news coverage of cities and towns overwhelmed by the “charade,” and 31 of 33 counties expressing their disdain for Grisham through resolutions, the governor is now asking President Trump and the Department of Homeland Security for their help.
Yes, people in New Mexico and around the nation have taken notice of what an incompetent governor Lujan Grisham is.

*One petition has over 79,000 signatures as of today.
