The Governor of New Mexico, Michelle Lujan Grisham, (Dem.), has ordered the withdrawal of most of NM National Guard troops deployed at their border with Mexico! She stated that she would no longer take part in President Donald Trump’s “fear-mongering.” Grisham is also calling for all the other border states to do the same, both North and South.

The Governor said, “I reject the federal contention that there exists an overwhelming national security crisis at the southern border, along which are some of the safest communities in the country. However, 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,”.

Please review the UPI News Article, “Gov. Grisham withdraws National Guard troops from New Mexico border” for more details.

They found that most Americans supported and would encourage the immigration of high-skilled people into our country. The survey found that 78% of U.S. adults supported high skilled immigration, which approximates the other countries in the survey. The survey also found that the United States had the largest number of college-educated immigrants in the world, with three times the number of immigrants ages 25 and older with a post-secondary diploma or college degree.
