SANTA FE, N.M. -- The governor of New Mexico ordered the withdrawal of the majority of the state's National Guard troops from the U.S. border with Mexico on Tuesday, in a move that challenges President Trump's description of a security crisis.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the partial withdrawal shortly before Trump's State of the Union address. Her Republican predecessor deployed National Guard troops to the border in April 2018 at Trump's suggestion, and 118 remained there before Tuesday's reversal.
"New Mexico will not take part in the president's charade of border fear-mongering by misusing our diligent National Guard troops," Lujan Grisham said in a statement.
At the same time, the governor said a small contingent -- around a dozen guardsmen -- will remain in the southwestern corner of the state to assist with humanitarian needs in a remote corridor for cross-border immigration. She also mobilized state police to assist local law enforcement.

Anyone have some boiled hemp rope handy?
What a disgusting piece of shit. Congratulation, voters of New Mexico! We all have to pay for your decision (and, yes, we all have to pay for the idiots in my state as well).
Another Anti-American DemocRAT. Why am I not surprised?
Traitor Roberts continues to cover for her?
The governor has the power over the guard in state
Another ‘woman in white’ helping to destroy the United States.

Trump should deploy 10 federal troops to the New Mexico border for every guardsman she removed. Have them string concertina wire from Texas to Arizona. If New Mexico will not do the job, the Federal Government should seize the border.
I remember some decades ago that a Southern governor used his National Guard to oppose school desegregation, and the President responded by federalising them.
Sssooo...
“LOCK HER UP”!
Any requests for disaster relief should be ignored.
She is playing with fire.
She is a leftest hack politician like Kathleen Kane of Pennsylvania who is now serving time in prison. The same fate will happen to Grisham.

Never trust a woman with a hyphenated last name.
I don’t trust women WITHOUT a hyphenated last name.
There’s a report that Mexican school books challenge the Gasden Purchase and contain the assertion that certain states including New Mexico are Mexican territory. If that is true this should be policy;
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CITIZENS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
ENTERING ILLEGALLY RIGHTS THAT THEIR COUNTRY DENY US HAVING???
It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen doing so. Subject to reciprocal citizen treatment a citizen of the United States receives in Mexico through the Mexican constitution on citizenship .
Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US and the affected state should consider making that reciprocal.prohibiting citizens of Mexico or countries with similar restrictions from doing both voting and land ownership.. .
The President should federalize that Guard unit.Lets see what she does then.
National security shouldn’t take second place to the wants of a left wing governor.
You would think she would like to protect her citizens from the invasion coming from south of the border.
“Misusing National Guard Troops”
Interesting that the government will activate and deploy them halfway around the world to countries nobody hardly can find on a map, much less articulate why, exactly. “National” Guard? What’s that?
Our “leaders” are fooked in the head.
