“Start there build a wall 87 miles. What’s that cost?”
Somewhere between $400 million and $900 million, depending on terrain and the extra features added (Lights, Cameras Sensors).
Out in flat desert, 18 foot bollards set in deep reinforced concrete foundation, with just patrol road, would be toward the low end - about $4 million per mile.
“While I’ve been to this area of the border many times, I haven’t seen anything that indicates that we have an emergency crisis here at the border and that’s important to talk to New Mexicans about and I also think it’s important to talk to the nation about.”
We’re adults, we’re used to being listened to.
I guess NM has a new mom.
Contact our dear governor and let her
know what you think. I just did.

New Mexico is the 5th largest state.
It’s largest county is Chaves,
which is 6,071 sq miles. One elected
sheriff. Hidalgo county is 3,446 sq mi.
One elected sheriff.
Our newly elected governor is nuts!
I’ve read about the absence of law enforcement and CBP agents there, as well as the fact that illegals are stealing autos, breaking into houses, etc.
Why don’t the residents post large warning signs warning the illegals of the dangers of entering their properties? THEN, when the illegals come near the houses the residents just start shooting them. ...Word would spread among the invasion force, but I can understand it might be dangerous.
Sorry... I’m just pissed that foreigners are being allowed to walk in and commit crimes and the LEOs are no where around.
My thoughts, too. Thumbs up!
Yes and elected enough more commies that they are taking us to California full speed ahead. I am hoping for a miracle but not seeing any daylight just darkness. Commies mostly transplants took over Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Las Cruces, even Silver City and there is not enough rural people to make a difference. We put up with old school democrats here for years but this new bunch is flat out socialist communist crazy and want to take our straws, guns...become a sanctuary state- throw open the border and that is just for starters.
I have a sister in law that lives near Tucson. When the large groups started coming she was shocked, nothing like that in Tucson. I sent her an article that a large group of over 200 had been caught about 3 miles from her and in a separate incident illegals caught by BP assaulted the BP Agents. I found that in a 10 minute google search. My SIL faithfully watches news and said none of that was reported on the local news.
I saw a poll of issues before the midterms that showed abortion was by far the biggest issue of Democrats. What does that say when the ability to murder babies is the most important thing to you politically????????
Residents would be in jail so fast heads would spin...they would fly LEOs down here for that...and our property would be given to the surviving illegals and families of the illegals that were shot in later lawsuits.
People in these parts have been in major trouble for far, far less than what you suggested when dealing with illegals. On top of every other charge you can imagine the biggy is “violating their Civil Rights” and I know a man in AZ that was sentenced to 20 years in a federal pen for that years ago. He ran illegals off his property at gunpoint and made threats to them.
What people fail to understand is even in clear self defense situations it is dicey if it is an illegal you are defending against. They have all the rights and we have none. Groups like La Raza and others have made sure of that over the years. Illegals are the most protected specie out here. Think about the mental advantage an illegal has against a local...that even a second thinking about the twisted issues of dealing with them and it could cost you your life.
I think that is what happened to Rob Krentz when he was murdered by a smuggler. Rob had his dog, a rifle, and pistol and was murdered in cold blood with no sign he was able to defend himself. His dog was shot too. I think it was either a cold blooded ambush or he hesitated to defend himself because of the protection given to illegals. Rob was born, raised, lived his whole life on the border- he was not a pushover by any means. I do wonder though if he hesitated and that was enough to cost him his life.
Ranches down here are posted, and prosecute trespassers to the max because here if you don’t press charges on all trespassers the courts think you aren’t serious. Illegals are a different duck...no rancher that I know of has ever been able to charge illegals with trespassing on their private property. If you try judges act like it is a joke or if the feds have them you will get no where. Think about that, if you come down here and hike around on a posted ranch you will be arrested, you will be charged with trespassing, and you will pay a large fine. Illegals trespass at will and there is nothing that can be done to them.
We had this on a sign on our property in English and Spanish...for 30 years and it was there longer because the previous owner put it up and we kept it so it was probably there 50 years and repainted numerous times:
“He who is found here at night will be found here in the morning...”
About 10 years ago a LEO friend of ours said that was a real bad idea if we ended up shooting anyone...our Insurance Agent threatened to cancel our insurance if we left it up...liability reasons.
Sad.
It's #2 on the list, right behind Northern Nevada (#1). New Mexico is #4 behind Montana (#3)
