New Mexico's new, Trump-hating open-borders governor has taken radical actions just to spite the President -- but the results are proving disastrous for her own state, and likely nation as well.
Trump deployed National Guard and U.S. Army troops to the Mexican border to deal with a huge increase in illegal entries in January.
In act of what she called "resistance" against the president, New Mexico’s Democratic governor, Michelle Lujan Grisham withdrew 118 National Guard troops from the state’s southern boundary.
She said she did it to counter what she called Trump’s “charade of border fear-mongering,” and as a "protest" against Trump's move to ban "transgendered" troops from the U.S. military.
The results have been nothing short of disastrous, with drug smuggling activities "exploding" since her deranged move.
As the NY Post reported, Mexican drug cartels and possibly terrorists have been thriving in New Mexico since two border patrol checkpoints were shut down as a result of Lujan Grisham's Guard withdrawal.
Just two weeks after the governor's reckless action, Otero County declared a state of emergency. Otero County Sheriff David Black said Monday that he saw some $60,000 in deadly drug shipments in April, up from $3,500 in January.
Black said he now has just 44 gun toters to oversee 6,628 square miles of lonely ranchland and pistachio orchards nestled among national parkland and Holloman Air Force Base.
Now the lawman said he has to deploy his own overworked forces to stop drugs such as methamphetamines, heroin and fentanyl from coming through his territory, which is home to some 65,000 people.

She must be getting a cut of the profits.
Trump-hating Democrat puts out the welcome mat for Mexican cartels and terrorists
Silly b*tch.
CC
A LARGE segment of the democrat population needs some serious medication
STAT
She is a witting ally of the Mexican cartel. They should be preparing a cell for her.
Follow the money...
Where are the GOP TV ads making her pay a huge political image price for it? Or would that be ungentlemanly?
This is actually old news. The latest is that Lujan-Grisholm in collusion with Mayor Keller and the city board are going to ‘borrow’ $250,000 from city coffers to pay for illegals ‘passing through’. To add insult to injury the Mayor of Santa Fe said obliquely no-way-jose are we taking them, but we’ll give money. Alb is absorbing ‘hundreds per day’ as the news phrases it. The revolving crime door isn’t helping matters either.
Once again, democrats have no problem destroying our country to retain power. They are domestic enemies of the constitution.

Get serious about the border Mr President and federalize the state guard units and then send enough to the border to make a difference. 188 formerly there? What a joke.
Thanks for posting. Follow ‘rat, anti-American governor.
Simple federalize some number of the guard and take them away from the governor.
Another vile evil Democrat pos.
Trump could solve this problem by activating the National Guard and quit this foolishness. Why he won’t? Just how serious is Trump. He could send 20,000 armed troops to the open sections of the border and protect America. Why? I don’t understand. Isn’t this a national emergency?
Demonrats must be fed
I think I saw that only four of the counties ( the one’s housing Albupukue and Santa FE among them) in NM support her policies and the sanctuary city BS.And that notably most if not all the counties bordering Mexico are anti-Governor.
You just can’t fix stupid and socialists-liberals seem to have a corner on it. If there would be a hall of fame for stupidity she would make a good candidate. On the other hand most of our politicians are a reflection of the people who elect them, and most are not very bright either. So what do you expect ?
