JUNE 24—Democratic Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham was featured in a Politico article on Sunday, in which she praised President Biden’s “balanced approach” to handling the Southern border.
The Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce issued the following statement in response:
“Joe Biden, Gov. Lujan Grisham, and border Representative Gabe Vasquez continue to gaslight the public, hoping that no one will notice. There is nothing balanced or humane about Biden’s approach to the border. It is utter chaos, and this chaos has already resulted in the loss of numerous American lives. Additionally, the Biden administration has lost tens of thousands of unaccompanied migrant children and has opened the border up to the cartel, fentanyl smugglers, and human traffickers.
“Joe Biden took 94 executive actions in his first 100 days to weaken border security. This crisis should have never happened to begin with. While the governor refuses to do anything to secure New Mexico’s border, Gabe Vasquez is treating the border crisis like he treats a court summons: he looks the other way and claims he knew nothing.
“The Democratic Party will continue to enable this border disaster, and it will only get worse if they gain control of Congress and win the presidency. If New Mexicans want to see the border secured and order restored, they must vote for every Republican on their ballot in November.”
What’s wrong with Republican leaders that they all seem to have forgotten the reality of Trump’s term?
Trump WAS President, we all saw his performance and rejected him for it in 2020.
During Trump’s regime, millions of Americans lost their jobs and were put on Government assistance, were forced to wear mask and told to stay home like grounded children.
During Trump’s Presidence American cities burned due to riots and unrest and global supply chains crashed.
Trump’s Presidence was a disaster, leadership matters, especially during crisis like the pandemic. During Trump’s Presidence 1,000,000 Americans DIED of Covid, DIED as in they are now dead. If you’re not pissed about that failure your not a real American.
America can’t afford the failure and lose a second Trump term would bring.
At this point I think US immigration policy should be that we will trade MAGA Republicans for immigrants. At least the immigrants want to live in America.
Biden’s policies are the best that can be done with a do nothing Congress. Republicans have stopped all efforts to address the border. Republicans in the house and Senate rejected a bipartisan border bill just a few weeks back because TRUMP told them to. Republicans have zero credibility on the border or anything really at this point.
Its Congresses responsibility to pass laws not the President’s.
What’s Republicans answer for Dreamers?
Republicans are so gullible that they will fall for the same, already broken, campaign promise from Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Trump already failed to build the wall 2017-2020, even after stealing from the Pentagon’s budget to do so. Failed to address immigration. His only saving grace as fare as border crossings was the pandemic.
