TAOS, N.M. - New Mexico’s state fairgrounds will begin to house dozens of migrant families to take pressure off border cities facing a surge in asylum seekers with no help from the federal government, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham said on Tuesday.
Lujan Grisham has called for a humanitarian response to the rise in asylum seekers, condemning a “charade of fear-mongering” by U.S. President Donald Trump, who has variously warned of a migrant “crisis” and “invasion” at the country’s southern border with Mexico. The mayors of New Mexico’s three largest cities - Las Cruces, Albuquerque and Santa Fe - have offered resources to help charities and faith-based organizations care for migrants after they are dropped off by U.S. immigration authorities.
Expo New Mexico will absorb the cost of housing migrants and no scheduled activities will be disrupted at the area which hosts the annual state fair, Tristan said.
