New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham says "everything is on the table" to deal with the so-called surge of the "Delta Variant" of COVID-19. Talk about ominous!
The last lockdown in New Mexico killed 40% of the state's small businesses.
One cannot believe a word Lujan Grisham says when it comes to COVID-19 since she refuses to deploy the National Guard to the Mexican border to stop the flow of illegals into the state, some infected with COVID-19. How does she expect to protect New Mexico's citizens when she refuses to secure the border?
At least we have one representative who is fighting to secure the border.
From the Las Cruces Sun News:
LAS CRUCES – U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell, R-N.M., renewed her previous call for Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to deploy the New Mexico National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border.
Herrell, the lone Republican in New Mexico's congressional delegation, represents New Mexico's 2nd congressional district, which encompasses all of southern New Mexico.
The congresswoman first made the request in April in response to large increases of traffic at the U.S-Mexico border and pressure on the U.S. Border Patrol, which Herrell described in her original letter as "overworked, undermanned and under-supplied."
In 2018, Lujan Grisham's predecessor, Gov. Susana Martinez, deployed state guardsmen to assist Border Patrol with non-enforcement activities, at the behest of President Donald Trump (a fellow Republican), in response to an increase in unlawful border crossings and resistance in Congress to Trump's promised border wall.
Weeks after taking office in 2019, Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, withdrew most of that deployment.
If Lujan Grisham really wanted to stop the spread of coronavirus, she would deploy the National Guard at the border.
