.... San Bernardino County in California is over 20,000 square miles.
I lived in New Mexico for 3 years (military) in the late 70’s early 80’s. I loved it there and have told my wife it is on the short list when we leave California.
Now, I have to say, why would I want to?
Sounds like the Governor is working for the other side. This is an invasion and the government is not going to save us. Citizens themselves are going to have to stop the enemy and their domestic collaborators or the US population is going to be replaced by one that is selected by the compromised elites to be more supportive and compliant.
So true. This is how it is here in Az also. Everything south of the unofficial border Interstate 8, the southern third of Az, is a cultural territory of Mexico.
Hidalgo county New Mexico (not to be confused with the one in TX) is that big 3,446 square miles to be exact. Law enforcement response is at least an hour on a good day to the parts of the county on the border. After 10 if you have a real emergency they will get someone out of bed and/or call State Police but we seldom see SP South of Interstate 10.
We are pretty much on our own down here, and you can imagine our amazement that our state politicians are telling us there are no problems here and by the way they are at the same time trying to take our firearms as soon as possible.
New Mexico is pretty big, about 210,000 square miles and slightly less than 2 million people. Hidalgo is about medium sized for a NM county. It has a population around 4000.
Harding County is over 2000 square miles and has about 600 people. (When the rare tornado hits there they don’t even issue warnings, because folks are so scarce.)
That's the area of Hidalgo County.
There’s still plenty of good places here, but the government is problematic.
There are not enough local citizens. If they take things into their own hands, they will be killed
The only way to stop illegal border crossing is to shoot an kill on arrival on American soil.
If a bounty of $100 dead or alive were offered, the problem would cease as the bodies pile up. Bounty hunters would end the problem
The time for compassion is long gone
Some of that was done in Arizona...I heard they had to take it down. I am not clear on what happened but the government claims the border and normally does not allow anyone else to do anything to it, even when they won’t.
I said that in the 70's about California. Now look at the place.
New Mexicans need to nip this in the bud!
The Democrats have always controlled New Mexico but they were old school Democrats that for the most part would at least politely listen to concerns. We have been getting an influx of crazy dims from CA and other places that now control population centers, not enough rural people to outvote them. I think a lot of people were unaware they were not the old time dims at all- at least I hope they now realize what a huge mistake they made. I am probably kidding myself, those that voted for them may want to be just like CA as soon as possible because we are already headed there with this bunch.
“There is not an emergency crisis at the border that warrants the asinine and anti-American anti-immigration tactics endorsed by the president and his minions; that’s the proper context for the governor’s remarks, and the full story of what she was expressing. No doubt, as she mentioned many, many times at the border, and as I’m sure you mentioned to these ranchers, one of her key priorities is doing the work to ensure the public safety of New Mexicans, making data-driven decisions instead of political decisions, and the chance to begin to identify what is working and what is not working was one of the key rationales for her visit to the border. That was made abundantly clear in her remarks at the border. What will not work is a wall; what isn’t working currently is treating asylees like criminals. That is what she meant by that comment, and one would hope these folks can see the context in which it was presented, and the governor recognizes their concerns.” -- Tripp Stelnicki, spokesman for Gov. Lujan Grisham.
Re-elections have consequences, as people will say in the future.
Bounties would be a good idea, but it would have to be done with bitcoins and totally anonymous actors. Our own government is against us and would move against the patriots rather than the invaders.
“It’s getting to the point where these confrontations are getting more aggressive and more and more violent,” said Kris Massey.”

There is a lot of money to be made from illicit drugs coming over the border from Mexico. Gov. Lujan Grisham may have been bought off by drug cartels.
It was Pres. Barack Obama with the help of his attorney general Eric Holder, who arranged for guns to be sold in the U.S. To straw purchasers who then shipped the guns to drug cartels in Mexico. The guns were used to kill a border agent in the U.S. And many guns were found in Chicago and other cities.
Thanks for your post, Tammy. I believe this is the first time in a long time that I have posted the entirety of an article this long. It was well written and I’m glad it was from an ABQ TV station.
The crap out of Santa Fe infuriates me. In addition to wanting the entire state to be a “sanctuary” state, being gun grabbers and pushing for no limits whatsoever for abortion, they are pushing an end to fossil fuels wanting solar and wind power to provide electricity for the state (or as I say, “rainbows and unicorns.”).
After they put the brakes on production (increase royalties and regulations) we can still sell our oil and gas but we’re not to use it here to power our state. The migratory bird kill from wing turbines, especially, is horrific but can’t use fossil fuels for an uncertain calamity maybe decades or longer away.
Coming soon to a social media board near you:
"An 0bama Federal judge ruled that proust should STFU"
president trump is only one of many presidents running the country, proust.
Do you have some solution to the problem of the conflicting directives from the president, and the several hundred competing Federal judge-presidents?
Share that with us.
I didn't realize they were reaching out to absorb NM's senators into the CaliCollective, too.
I have no doubt some politicians are bought and paid for, I do think many others are just so clueless they don’t even need to be bought. I bet the cartel guys get a kick out of them.
