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.
Policing straws?
With Gavin at the helm, California will soon become a Mexican State. Bad for White Millionaires like Gavin. He just doesn’t think straight, unless this has been the plan all along for Democrats, to dismantle the United States, in retribution for losing the Civil War
Maybe he should send them to the border and expell the Federal Troops and KKK ICE agents so as to welcome the new Californians to our state! Regester them to Vote and give them houses and free food and needed health care! If the evil Trump following Federal troops do not leave the border—open fire on them and send them running! Trump would never have them fire back on fellow Americans. If Trump gives them problems remember what it says as the California Flag—The California Republic. Make the state an independent nation—sign a treaty with China to ensure independence! (Sar)
Didn’t he admit to helping his mother commit suicide.
I wasn’t aware of that until this thread, check post #33 it sure looks like it.
That was Ike, not JFK. Happened in the ‘50s.
I’ll tell you what I call him.....
Gruesome Newsom.
We’ll remember that when the next disaster strikes.
Y’all may look back fondly at “Moonbeams” reign of terror after “Gruesom Newsom” gets started with his LIEberal agenda.
He’ll try to (and probably will) outdo Moonbeam in the whacko agenda department, and make Kali-Fornia even more unaffordable and unlivable!
You know, more & higher taxes, more regulations, more restrictions on your FReedoms and Liberties, etc., etc.
Y’all are in for a rough ride, IMHO!
I like it!
“Loonsom Newsom”
Happened again in the 60s, with JFK in Alabama.
He kinda sounds like Occasional Cortex...
