Gov. Hogan: Md. National Guard resources removed from border until family separation stops

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (ABC7) — Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan says he will not deploy any of the state's National Guard resources to the border until the policy of separating undocumented immigrants from their children ends.

Hogan sent out a statement Tuesday saying that he recalled the Maryland National Guard crew members and helicopter from New Mexico amid growing public aversion to the policy.

"Immigration enforcement efforts should focus on criminals, not separating innocent children from their families," Hogan said Monday.



Until this policy of separating children from their families has been rescinded, Maryland will not deploy any National Guard resources to the border. Earlier this morning, I ordered our 4 crewmembers & helicopter to immediately return from where they were stationed in New Mexico.



Washington has failed again & again to deliver needed immigration reform - Congress and the
administration must step up and work together to fix our broken system. Immigration enforcement efforts should focus on criminals, not separating innocent children from their families.

But this was ok when Bill Clinton and Barrack Obama did it during their presidencies??? Get a grip governor.

Does this idiot RINO realize that every time he tries to win a Democrat vote he loses more Republican votes. If I wanted a Democrat governor I would have voted for one. Guess what RINO Hogan, I may not vote for a Democrat but I’m definitely not going to vote for you. Every Republican should send this RINO a message and allow him to lose this election. He is just as bad or worse than having O’Malley in office.

This is ridiculous. Vote him out. It is idiotic to think its OK for anyone to break the law! What an idiot. He will not get my vote. Its ok for illegal aliens to break the law but you'll still lock up for dumb stuff who are citizens? What planet is this democrat from. Yes democrat.

In another display of public affection for the Libtards RINO Hogan turns his back on President Trump and pulls our National Guard from the border in New Mexico. Can someone please send a memo to Hogan to let him know that he is losing Republican Votes while he thinks he is gaining Democrat votes. What you say Carl Anderton and Bunky Luffman? Hogan is stupid or he is a Democrat.

Larry is blowing with the MSM wind and bowing to their Democrat lies. C'mon, Larry! This was Obama's policy and you need to make sure the Democrats in the Congress cooperatively make changes to this policy with the Republicans that make the policy better!
Besides, a lot of these children are "bought" by MS-13 members and sold as sex slaves, some are just bought for use to get across the border and shot after.

Read the REAL news and educate yourself. There are reasons for good laws.

How was your last abortion, anyway?

Pardon me Governor Hogan but as soon as they set foot on our soil without the proper paperwork (permission) they became criminals. Is not a criminal a person who breaks the law? Is not entering a country, any country, without the proper papers breaking the law, therefore a criminal act? How about we just turn a blind eye to all our laws governing hunting, a family has a God given right to feed themselves don't they?

It's very disturbing that hogan is so out of touch with what goes on in the real world. Most of those children are not even with their parents much less family members. Many are props born only to be sold to someone looking for an easier way into the US. Some were kidnapped. Many end up in sex rings in the US and the rest end up lost being shuffled around with no stability in their lives. They end up being lost in the system not even attending school. This doesn't surprise me about hogan though. He is deceptive and a liar in saying he is a Republican. He's fools some but not all. He wants the cheap labor coming in to keep his business buddies happy with the cheap labor and just like the rest of the democrats is lying in saying it's about the children. He is a true disgrace and if he weren't inherently immoral he would be ashamed of himself.

No because it would be like finding a needle in a haystack. The overwhelming majority of those children aren't even with their parents much less a family member. It's a racket in South America. Babies are born to be used as props for people crossing illegally. Then after they are caught they try and claim refugee status hoping the child will help. The shame of it all is that Hogan is a clueless wonder, an ignoramus who is so backwards and unsophisticated he doesn't even know what is going on in the real world.

I am angry over this, but not re-electing Hogan is the worst thing that can happen because all the other choices will be WORSE.

Hogan shouts from the galley of the corrupt.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/four-us-s...173545530.html



Washington (AFP) - Five US states are refusing to deploy National Guard troops to the US-Mexico border amid a growing outcry over a controversial immigration policy of President Donald Trump's administration that has led to migrant children being separated from their parents.

The Democratic governors of Colorado, New York and Virginia and the Republican governors of Maryland and Massachusetts all said they would not send members of their state's National Guard units for border duty.

"We will not be complicit in this ongoing human tragedy," New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, said Tuesday.

"In the face of the federal government's inhumane treatment of immigrant families, New York will not deploy National Guard to the border," Cuomo said on Twitter.

Larry Hogan, the Republican governor of Maryland, said he will not send any National Guard resources to the border "until this policy of separating children from their families has been rescinded."

Hogan said he had ordered a four-member helicopter crew which had been stationed in the border state of New Mexico to "immediately return" home.

"Immigration enforcement efforts should focus on criminals, not separating innocent children from their families," Hogan said.

Virginia Governor Ralph Northam said he had ordered the recall of a helicopter and four soldiers from the state National Guard from the border state of Arizona.

"When Virginia deployed these resources to the border, we expected that they would play a role in preventing criminals, drug runners and other threats to our security from crossing into the United States -- not supporting a policy of arresting families and separating children from their parents," Northam said.

John Hickenlooper, the Democratic governor of Colorado, signed an executive order on Monday that forbids the use of state resources "for the purpose of separating any child from his or her parent or legal guardian," a practice he called "cruel and un-American."


Clearly Hogan has no interest in getting his info/facts from the White House.
He'd rather stand shoulder to shoulder with the corrupt progressives than stand for the security of this Country and State.

Now that he has us voters over a barrel with no real conservative on the ballet....he lets his true colors show. Explains why we havent seen much conservative progress. He's always been against Trump despite knowing the majority of Americans support Trump.
The rep comm of md is as much to blame for this farce. I dont think I can bring myself to vote for such a liar.

Another reason not to put Hogan in office for a second term; at least not as a Republican. Let him change party if he wants to act like a Democrat and bash the Republican president and his policies. I guess Hogan would have been happier if Hillary had won.

Reality check here, people. You all KNOW either a Democrat or a Republican will be the next governor (my sympathies to the green party, the conservation party, and any other parties running a candidate). No other Republican is running. Has anyone else done any research on the Democrats running? Ben Jealous a zealous Bernie Sanders fan. Richard Madaleno is a victim of Trump derangement syndrome. James O'Shea, the only one I have actually seen an ad for, is a lawyer who chaired the U of MD Board of Regents. Alec Ross an LGBT Activist who supported Obama and Hillary. Krishanti Vignarajah an immigrant and rabid Michelle Obama supporter who may not meet the residency requirement. The only decent one is Rushern Baker who is part of the political establishment.

3- NOT one person in the thread said theyd be casting a vote for other candidates...but one thing is for sure..that lying, misrepresenting, Trump hating, Oath breaking, Constitution stomping, mask wearing, bag of hot air will DAMN SITE NEVER get MY VOTE!

And if Maryland really needs help after some kind of disaster, what would Hogan do if the Fed govt refuses to send aid? People working these places near the border have described the good treatment these illegals are receiving. Gang members are separated and sent elsewhere. Get a grip, Hogan, and quit listening to the fake news being reported from liberal media.

Joe you should post the story of the South Anerican mother who was recruited by the smugglers to be a part of this latest wave of illegals trying to cross.
While on the journey she was asked to keep handing over money to the smugglers. When she told them she was out of money they brutally raped her little daughter right in front of her!
This is what the democrat party stands for, The brutal rape of a little girl! Not that democrats care because the rape of a little girl means nothing to them when they have an agenda to promote. Democrats think children should be having sex anyway. And not that this should surprise anyone as the democrats are for all kinds of perversions and crude vulgar behaviors.

Anonymous said...

It's true about democrats. They are the lowest form of life. Their own actions prove they could care less about their own children much less anyone else's. They have gladly scarified their own children to forward advance their agendas. They can lie and deny this but we have proof. Their stance on immigration. All the democrats immigration policies do is keep wages low and people chained to the depths of poverty. Democrats are hand in hand with big business so want this so wall st has a steady influx of people willing to work slave wages with no benefits. People shouldn't have to get 30 year home loans. But because of the democrats and the way they keep people down this is now common. All this does is make billionaire bankers richer who again control the democrat politicians.

Yes Hogan screwed up by sucking up to Democ-rats in Annapolis, but it was merely political move of appeasement. 1 helicopter and 4 members of National Guard, wow, is that really gonna make a difference at the southern border? No. It was a cost cutting move, those boys should of been in Maryland already. As far as local folks not voting for Hogan over this, is absurd. Do you all remember 8 years of Democ-rat Marty O'Malley, aka Rain-Tax man? Do you really want to hand the givernor seat to one of those OweMalley Clowns. All of those Democ-rat candidates have 2 priorities, #1 Stop Trump, #2 Bring back the Rain Tax and many more Taxes and Fees on Maryland Taxpayers. Is that what you want? Sadly Maryland has been a blue state for many years and now you all want to switch it to red state, sure, but remember this - you have to make it turn Purple before it becomes Red and it will take time. Hogan will have to do for now because There Is No Better Option at this time. The one that you really desire will be coming after Hogan finishes his 2nd term, so don't give up in the middle of the ballgame while we are still winning!

Well, I voted today. I voted in the Republican primary. Made selections for everyone but Hogan. Left that blank. When the votes are counted, Hogan is going to find out how many Republicans voted in the primary today, and will be able to compare with how many votes he got (unopposed). That is going to show the level of support he has from Maryland Republicans in the upcoming general election. I will not mark the ballot for either party for governor in the general election to register my dissatisfaction with his first term. His policies have shown that he was only a Republican to get on the ballot the first time. He is going to have to make it this time with democrat votes, and not mine. We'll have to see if the democrats want him around for a second term. He will get no more votes from me.
