Larry Hogan on Immigration Republican Maryland Governor; possible presidential contender

Reject Trump policy of separating families at the border

The governor's order covers most of New Mexico's deployed troops, along with Guard members who have traveled from AR, KS, KY, NH, SC, and WI. In all, 118 National Guard troops have been deployed in New Mexico, the governor's office said.

At least five states, including two led by Republicans, rejected the president's call to send troops., with Maryland's Gov. Larry Hogan saying his state wanted nothing to do with the Trump administration policy of separating families at the border.

Feed & clothe illegal immigrant kids; then deport them

Hogan says the state needs to respond to this "humanitarian crisis" by providing for their immediate needs of food, and clothing and medical care, but then Hogan says these children have to be deported. "I want to reunite them back with their parents in their home countries," Hogan told the C-4 Show today. "I think it is absolutely ridiculous to take these children and to be busing them thousands of miles from their point of entry, to try to house them in Maryland, when we can't house our own kids, and we have a broken health care system."

Governor O'Malley asked clergy leaders to help create a network of foster families to help house these children, provide them with access to health care, and to provide them with other assistance as they wait to be reunited with relatives, or wait to be sent home.
