Once again our politicians spew vomit they know nothing about the constitution the laws and history of the country they are elected to represent.

This idiot governor was just on msnbc. Wow, that’s supersize stupid.

She says....It is Trumps fault because there are not enough asylum judges at the port. They are not open very many hours therefore these “asylum seekers” are FORCED to find another way in. Do you understand now? It’s our fault for not getting them in fast enough which means we are breaking the law, not them.

"I reject the federal contention that there exists an overwhelming national security crisis at the Southern border," Lujan Grisham said, adding that the area has "some of the safest communities in the country."

A complete, flat-out lie. Problems in the area of the boot heel have been well documented with hundreds coming across at once that overwhelm the Border Patrol.

Several hundred migrants climb over a small fence at the U.S.-Mexico border just after midnight. The fence, designed to stop vehicles, isn’t much of a deterrent. Some of the migrants toss belongings, while others pass children, over the fence. This isn’t a narrative pushed by President Trump. It happened this month at Antelope Wells, N.M. The crossing was caught on video, and the video was released by the Border Patrol a couple of days after it happened. The group numbered 247. Less than 48 hours later, Border Patrol agents encountered another 115 at the same location. And just this past Thursday, more than 300 migrants turned themselves in to Border Patrol there. Trump earlier offered temporary status for 700,000 Dreamers and 300,000 other undocumented residents in return for $5.7 billion in border security money, including for barriers. That’s an opening bid. But rather than come back with a counter, the Democrats – including our own delegation – insisted on playing politics, rejecting it out of hand because of their dislike of Trump.

"Those New Mexico Democrat voters must have some deep pockets."

Nope. They mostly have empty pockets.... and even emptier heads.

There was a time when New Mexico was red.
I shook the governor of California’s hand
here. (No need to tell you who that was),
The blue cancer started in Santa Fe, with
big money movie star donors to the
Carcinogen. Californian’s on their way to
Texas didn’t help matters, as they decided
to stay.
I’ve written 3 letters to our newly
elected cancerous mole melanoma. No
response.

The governor of New Mexico lives in a walled compound and is surrounded with armed guards.

It’s nice to be the king.
