Shortened title.

Full title: New Mexico Democratic governor pulled troops from border 'charade' — now she's demanding federal help over border crisis

Political pandering is not practical, it appears

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) has heavily criticized President Donald Trump's immigration agenda and the administration's overall response to the border crisis.

In February, she condemned what she called Trump's "charade of border fear-mongering" and announced she was withdrawing most of the New Mexico National Guard troops deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border in her state.

"I reject the federal contention that there exists an overwhelming national security crisis at the Southern border," Lujan Grisham said, according to NPR.

Her comments came just more than one week before Trump declared a national emergency in response to the overwhelming migrant crisis at the border.

Her comments were taken as a green light for the illegals to come.

No, she isn’t asking for “help” at the border. She still wants them pouring in. She wants the US Govt to come build reception centers, chow halls, give them medical treatment, etc.

She wants a federal reception and processing effort. And of course, money money money.

Ding ding ding! We haaaaave a winner!

Surely, that money will go to her friends in every business that would benefit from that kind of work. Construction, zoning, unions etc...which will then be donated to her re-election campaign

I’m sure she’ll be happy to have 300 invaders move into the governor’s mansion with her.

Share the wealth and all that....
