N.M. governor, who defied Trump by pulling Nat'l Guard troops from border, is paying the price
[Liberty] On Tuesday, LU reported that California Gov. Gavin Newsom pardoned seven felons slated for deportation in an act of defiance against Donald Trump. So far none of the freed ex-convicts has gone on to become a repeat offender, but the day is young: Give it time.

Meanwhile, another liberal state governor who displayed similar defiance earlier this year is reaping the windfall of her spiteful behavior. In February, New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham ordered a withdrawal of the majority of the National Guard troops the administration had sent to her state’s border with Mexico, stating, "New Mexico will not take part in the president’s charade of border fear-mongering by misusing our diligent National Guard troops."

So how’s that working out for her and the state of New Mexico? The Denver Post reports that Lujan Grisham’s office paid out $4,000 in taxpayer money for a bus to transport 55 Central American asylum seekers to Denver this past Sunday. The reason is that shelters in Las Cruces, N.M. have become overcrowded with migrants and asylum seekers since April 12.

BLUF:

The sudden increase in criminal activity was a result of two border patrol checkpoints having had to be shut down following Lujan Grisham’s National Guard withdrawal.

#1 See. This is how libs think it works: I don't live in NM, didn't vote for their mongrel governor. When the social costs of her "policies" become evident, however, I will be expected to "chip in" to defray them. Got it?

#2 Oh have no doubt, she pays no price.

Perhaps the rate needs adjusting, but I usually double the taxpayer cost as the actual taxpayer cost, with administration, waste, graft, etc. figured.

So, how much do you have to whomp your ass to come up with $8,000? All she has to do is say, "Send them to Detroit Denver."

*Please if somebody local or knows better, but I am hearing from refugees that Denver is turning into an expensive, dangerous to drive in, shithole.

#6 She's not paying the price you can be sure. The people who voted her in are. But then election have consequences.

#7 Liberalism is about having license to do what thou wilt, while others (preferably responsible law-abiding normies) pay all the costs.

Of course, Colorado's buggerer-in-chief will happily take them in.

#8 Should be shipped to Santa Fe and Taos, bastions of the progressives not Denver.

The problem for NM, is that the state GOP really has no one to offer up in competition with the Donks. The prior Trunk governor already took up the two term limit.
