The Democratic governor of New Mexico ordered a partial withdrawal of the states National Guard troops from the U.S.-Mexico border while also taking a shot at President Trump.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, made the announcement a few hours before Trump delivered his State of the Union address in which he renewed his call for a wall along the southern border.
"New Mexico will not take part in the presidents charade of border fear-mongering by misusing our diligent National Guard troops," Lujan Grisham said in a statement Tuesday.
National Guard troops were deployed to the border in April 2018 and 118 remained there before Lujan Grishams announcement. The governor has also directed Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Wisconsin to pull out their troops.
She said some troops will remain in the southwestern part of the state to address humanitarian needs.
I recognize and appreciate the legitimate concerns of residents and officials in southwestern New Mexico, particularly Hidalgo County, who have asked for our assistance, as migrants and asylum-seekers continue to appear at their doorstep, she said.
The withdrawal follows the Pentagons announcement Sunday that it would send an additional 3,750 troops to the border.

Nationalize ‘em.
Dude.... pick a side.
Dude......remember which side you picked.
I’m for that.
The people of New Mexico get exactly what they deserve for voting in a libtard dummocrap governor. They are playing dummocrap games, while letting illegals into their state and thus into the country. States who do not allow strict control of who gets into our country should be heavily penalized at the federal level. Put a tax on them, punish them in every way possible. You can’t have one or more states setting themselves up as “sanctuary” states which sit on our border. Illegals will just waltz into the States in those states and continue on to others.
Im guessing her chances of re-election are nil.
Treason pure and simple.
NYPD keeping MS 13 beast under wraps, border state politicians helping out illegals, little old me having to pay 5000 cash to irs for 2018
People are seeing this. DJT looking better all the time
>> Im guessing her chances of re-election [in New Mexico] are nil.
No, not really. NM would be a great state were it not filled with so many lefties. Ever think of giving it back to PedroLand? I have.
Okay.
As said before about illegals in general all are now invited to live with Dems (we extend the open invitations because Dems are too shy and modest to do so).
The Dem governor needs to put new sheets on the mansion beds and set up all the couches and bring in lots and lots of single mattresses all over the mansion for the new alien arrivals.
They need to get up close and personal with HER-—not with all of us.
Like the columnist for Dear Abby said about parent’s conned into storing huge amounts of their grown kids’ old stuff —if I’m really supposed to not throw it away then YOU store it at home, not me.
Take in the illegals. So cuddly when the bearded 22 year olds set down their automatic weapons and ammo. What’s for dinner? We’re starved.
“New Mexico governor orders withdrawal of National Guard troops from border”
Good..l hope NM is outright invaded.
Dude is female. ...at least today.
I live in New Mexico. I didn’t vote
for her. But I’m still stuck with the
crap.
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
and Members of a bipartisan
Congressional Delegation met
with Mexican Senators and
Federal Deputies in Mexico City,
Mexico, in May of 2016.
Our great Governor was part of
the delegation.
Guess its time to stop all federal grants and payments to NM. They are not part of the Union.

So, CA, AZ and NM are reverting to anti-American Mexico. Let them secede or we can push them out. All 3 soon to become 70% Dem, anyway.
Problems: FR headquarters is in CA, Freepers live in the embattled CA,AZ and NM and we are not supposed to support insurrection and civil war.
So I guess the 3 states stay.
Unfortunately, governors in New Mexico cannot be recalled.
And her she is!
I hope the people of New Mexico that are US citizens realize their Governor is not on the side of the rule of law and the citizens of the US.
I’m sure the foreign nationals know whose the Governor is on.
I know folks who moved out of N.M, born and raised there who said it had become a real crap-hole and they couldn’t stand it any longer being there.
