4. It is not "destroying civil order." It is a problem.

We have problems but they're nowhere near as bad as Fox News portrays. And the solution is - as in the case of NM - for governors to decide when to activate their own national guard.

The solution is NOT for a demented criminal squatting in the White House to send untrained ICE thugs and activate national guard against their own governor's decisions to attack non-violent citizens. There is no problem that won't make worse.

Running around in fear with our hair on fire is no solution.
