Full title: Gavin Newsom Wants to Pull CA's National Guard From the Border...Because They're More Useful Elsewhere
California Governor-elect Gavin Newsom has long been at odds with President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Now, he's looking at pulling the state's National Guard from the border because he believes their services can be better used elsewhere.
“I have every desire to pull those Guardsmen back and assist in other capacities,” Newsom said . “It’s my intention today, but every day conditions change, and so I want to caveat that with that understanding.”
Newsom also said he planned to discuss the border situation with Mexico's President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador during his inauguration on Saturday.
"We can't do everything ourselves but I know we're capable of doing more," Newsom said at a news conference at the San Ysidro Civic Cente, not far from where caravan riders attacked Border Patrol agents last weekend.
Newsom was also quick to remind everyone that he objected to the state's National Guard because he didn't “fully understand the benefit of our Guard in relation to the military … I see the benefit of that Guard elsewhere.”
The Governor-elect's statements mean he's looking at playing a more active role in immigration policies and legislation that impact his state's southern border with Mexico. Although current Governor Jerry Brown has opposed Trump's tough immigration policies and refused to cooperate with federal authorities, Brown did join the president in sending the National Guard to the United States-Mexico border, the Associated Press reported.
Although Newsom wants to pull the Guardsmen from the border, the state has an agreement with the feds until March 31st. But things can significantly change over the next three months.
"We are responding to this crisis in real time," Newsom said.
Where pray tell? The illegal immigrant soup kitchens?
Or scrubbing sh*t off the streets of San Francisco.
Gavin Newsom = Demon
He’ll need them in Sacramento to guard the Governor’s mansion, before long.
Perhaps machine raking dried and dying forests? Since it’s obvious their forestry folks are incapable or unwilling...
Leave the Union and then you can do whatever you want with your guard, assuming it still exists, as Kalifornica’s Supreme Dictator for Life.
In the absence of NG personnel on the border in cal I suggest to defend the border they plant mines.
The military needs to be used in force in Mexifornia. It needs to be reconquered. The libs and illegal beans driven south or into the sea.
Then turn them on the rest of the blue states—then D.C.
Wow. What a typically political statement that says nothing.
And if the illegals decide to hold an armed take over you can bet all those Democrats that have made California a sanctuary state will be in their safe spaces petting their puppies.
Let's Wrap This Baby Up, Folks!
Then put up border guard stations on every road out of the state and demand to see one’s passport before entering this Republic.
“Newsom also said he planned to discuss the border situation with Mexico’s President-elect Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador during his inauguration on Saturday”
Wait, a State Governor is making international deals with a foreign power?
Specifically prohibited by the Constitution. Guilty of Collusion!
If Nitsomwit tries to pull them, can DJT federalize them?
California is a joke now. The policies they have are going to lead to a Hispanic majority if not already one.
Typical asshat progressive - coins a new verb, illegitimately, “caveat.” Just like the Weather Channel leftards who try to turn “impacted” from a stuck stool into a verb.
He should try, “I want to caveat my incredible genius with the fact that I don’t know what I’m talking about.”
COMPLETE MORON..
Evidently Gavin thinks the guard are his personal servants.
The President can federalize the NG but don’t know if he would for this because of political reasons.
