McAllen, Texas, Mayor Jim Darling 'Send social workers to process the asylum-seekers, not soldiers,' Eddie Trevino, judge in Brownsville, added, 'It is a misconception that the border is insecure. There is no Central American invasion. This is a manufactured crisis.'
Here are two people who need to be investigated for links to MS-13.
Just my opinion, of course.

Ike used the National Guard to force a Governor to obey the law.

As far as I am concerned, this governor should change her name to Benedict Arnold. These people are not migrants, that implies a legal standing. They are alien invaders. They need to be sent home as quickly as possible, including the children. If it is not possible to determine who their parents are, they need to be taken back to their own country and the social services of that nation need to take charge.

Re> some of the safest communities in the country Yeah with all that protection I bet it is. Let's wait a few weeks after that protection is gone.

If the National Guard was called up by the federal government, the state governor doesn’t have the authority to recall them from that duty. The state governor only has recall authority if the original callout was done by the state’s authority.

Hmmmm. Oddly enough Albuquerque has some of the highest crime rates for a city its size in the country. The governor is engaging in political games at the risk the citizens of New Mexico.

For outsiders unfamiliar with our fishbowl politics, recently elected Michelle Lujan-Grisholm (D) (pronounced Loo-Hawn) is a rabid lefty former Richardson official, has a shady/corrupt past, had a slick and expensive campaign that airbrushed out her past, and replaces Suzana Martinez, a moderate Republican, who was not without faults, was largely a decent and competent administrator during her term. Lujan-Grisholm wants to change all that and use New Mexico to yet again test out failed liberal policies. She's pandering to the gun grabbers, the corrupt teachers union, and those who want our cars to run on banana peels.

Reminds me a bit of Katrina when the Mayor and Governor refused to cooperate with the Feds. All in the name of embarrassing GWB. Never minding of course that they screwed their own citizens.

Ranchers on the southern border in NM have given interviews about being under siege from drug runners, property being stolen, being shot at, one said one of their employees was kidnapped.
But, this governor says it is a manufactured crisis.
To: BenLurkin
some of the safest communities are along NMex’s border???
that’s probably because the illegal Moslem terrorists and Mexican MS-13 gangsters.. all go quickly THROUGH those communities.. on their way to the rest of USA... where they attack us.
this governor has ZERO regard, concern, doesn’t give a rats-ass damn... about the rest of us, the 99 percent of American citizens that don’t happen to live along the NMex border

Lujan-Grisham and her band of merry enviro-nazis are doing everything they can to make a poor state even poorer. In addition to everything you said, they are trying to emasculate the oil and gas industry which provides over one-third of all state revenues by prohibiting fracking technology even though there is no evidence it affects fresh groundwater.

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has ordered the majority of National Guard troops deployed at her state's Southern border to withdraw, condemning what she called a "charade of border fear-mongering" by President Trump, who has warned of an immigration emergency in the region. If they were on Trump's dime she has no authority to recall them. Hope he lets her know that.
