So NH Governor Maggie Hassan, where ARE those illegal immigrant kids?

illegal alien signThis just came in over the transom, and it is a very good question.  Where IS the “Open and Transparent” Government we were promised, Governor Maggie Hassan?  Can you explain (below: emphasis mine)?

Dear Governor Hassan,

On August 1st, 2014 The Union Leader reported that the federal government dumped 13 unaccompanied non-citizen children in New Hampshire on January 1. Curiously, the year they were dumped was not transcribed in the article.

The following statement was attributed to you Governor Hassan by your press secretary William Hinkle;

“As a national issue, the governor believes that Congress should work together to find a bipartisan solution to America’s immigration issues and to ensure that no children are put in a dangerous situation.”

That’s it?  Your only statement published in the Union Leader on 8/11/2014;

“federal officials began asking states earlier this summer for help housing the detained unaccompanied children, Gov. Maggie Hassan said the state had received no such request, but would consider it if a request were made”, is MOOT! The little waifs were dumped January 1.

On your watch Governor Hassan the federal government encroached on New Hampshire’s Sovereignty under the cover of darkness and unbeknownst to any elected authority. They unceremoniously rid themselves of 13 unaccompanied non-citizen children January 1 and you still have yet to respond?

You are the elected Chief Executive of the great state of New Hampshire. You have been charged with the “faithful execution of the laws of this state and her Constitution” which includes Part 1, Article 7which “declares that the people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State”.

The federal government has discarded 13 unaccompanied non-citizen children for whom the state New Hampshire taxpayers are now financially responsible (taxation without representation). This is an egregious violation perpetrated against your constituents by the federal government, Madam Governor.

This violation of New Hampshire’s state border needs an immediate repudiation from you. Failure to do so actually condones and excuses the federal government’s outright refusal to secure the borders and enforce existing immigration laws that have resulted in the murders of two border guards and the unjust jailing of an American Marine. DO NOT allow the great state of New Hampshire to become complicit in this lawlessness.

Jim Berlo & Jim Johnson

We elected you to make decisions – fair enough and I knew after the election that some of them I would not like – but I certainly do not like when decisions or information are hidden.  Sure, there are things that should be kept behind the curtain like certain types of “State secrets” – but this is not one of them.  Democrats at the national level are quite clear, like the Elite in Britain, that it was a calculated decision to change their population – and therefore, the electorate.

Are we to consider you an Obama-clone: not protecting our borders, not just against illegal immigrants, but from our Federal Government that treats our sovereignty as surely as it does our Republic’s borders?

Only that’s not why you were elected.  As Jim and Jim say, we want you to protect New Hampshire – not as just a pseudo-sub-division of the Federal Government.
