New Mexico Official To Block Democrat Governor From Releasing Migrants in County

Chairman of the Otero County Commission, Couy Griffin moves to block release

Former Republican Gov. Susana Martinez noted the southern region of the state is running out of the room

A New Mexico official who is commissioner of a county close to the U.S.-Mexico border has said the state's Democratic governor has failed to respond to demands to redeploy National Guard troops, and he is now moving to block migrants from being released in his county due to low resources.
Chairman of the Otero County Commission, Couy Griffin, said Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham's office has been quiet since the board voted April 18 to declare a state of emergency.
"We've had no response from our governor," Griffin said in a Fox News.


Griffin promised he would 'push very hard' against migrants being released in Otero County

Former Republican Gov. Susana Martinez noted the southern region of the state is running out of the room and cannot take tens of thousands of migrants who are being released from federal custody each month.
"There is no more capacity any more they're giving to the local community — Las Cruces, Otero county giving it to Yuma, here in El Paso. At one point, they have to bus them to other locations that can absorb them. It just is impossible," Martinez said.

Griffin promised he would "push very hard" against migrants being released in Otero County, which is home to about 65,000 people.
According to The Washington Examiner: He said the commission is planning to vote on a resolution that would block people who illegally crossed from Mexico to the United States from being bused from El Paso to his county.
"The hypocrisy in what is going on today ... is Santa Fe, which declares to be a sanctuary county, their mayor recently said, 'We don't want them here.' They are not going to receive them in Santa Fe County, but yet they will raise funds so you all can put them in your backyard. My position, if you'll declare yourself a sanctuary county put them on the plaza and let them live there," Griffin said.

Lujan Grisham pulled the 118 troops as well as those from other states who had been working with Customs and Border Protection

Local officials from the state's southeastern county had given the governor one week to take emergency action and said they would consider suing the country if nothing happens in that time. It's been ten days since they requested help.

The county wants National Guard troops that Gov. Lujan Grisham's Republican predecessor, Susana Martinez, had sent to the region last April to be deployed again. Lujan Grisham pulled the 118 troops as well as those from other states who had been working with Customs and Border Protection on the southern border.
Martinez said Sunday the Guard's assistance had allowed agents to return to the field from administrative duties and other tasks, as well as highway checkpoints that were closed late last month.
The El Paso, Border Patrol sector, includes all of New Mexico's border and has seen the second-highest number of families arriving at, and illegally crossing, the southern border since October.
From Oct. 1, 2018, through March 31, agents in the El Paso region apprehended 53,000 people who claimed to be traveling with a family member. Only the Rio Grande Valley sector in Texas saw more members of families arrested: 78,000.
The other seven sectors along the southwest border saw anywhere from approximately 500 to 25,000 family members.
Earlier this month, Yuma, Ariz., a city on the border, became the first to declare a state of emergency because it lacks the resources to handle the influx of people being apprehended and released from federal custody.

BOUT TIME somebody from the Southern IMPACT ZONE of this invasion does something to complain about and or DEFY TRUMP on his invasion plan. I'm beyond disappointed with the COWARDS in Texas who have been just sitting and standing there SILENT for months now about the situation. There's been a few words here and there out of a few Texas polititians about what's been taking place and ABSOLUTELY ZERO from the grass roots people of the state about this.

Mayor of Laredo with a Mexican flag in his office!

Busy US border town worries about impact of Trump's military fence

Laredo (United States) (AFP) - Pete Saenz, the mayor of the southwestern Texan city of Laredo, looks at the military fencing that now hems his bustling border town and is uneasy with what he sees.

"It's a surprise to some of us, a shock frankly. We're not used to concertina wire," the mayor tells AFP.

Laredo, whose population of about 260,000 is more than 95 percent Latino, is one of the areas being "hardened" by the US military under orders from President Donald Trump.

As part of the contentious mission that has seen about 5,900 active-duty troops sent to the border, the Army has strung a shiny metal fence made of barbed and concertina wire along Laredo's grassy riverbanks.

Locals are starting to worry of economic consequences for a city that relies heavily on cross-border trade.

In an interview at his City Hall office this week, where the Mexican tricolor stands alongside the Texas flag, the black-mustached Saenz says he understands the federal government's desire to protect the border.

But he is concerned the military presence might cause a drop in legal foot traffic between Laredo and its sister city of Nuevo Laredo, across the Rio Grande River in Mexico.

New Mexico’s new Democrat governor Michelle Lujan-Grisham is certainly making a name for herself after just 5 months in office — if being an open-borders clown with tanking approval ratings is what she’s after.
