As Chairman of the Otero County Board of Commissioners my heart is heavily burdened for my constituents as they struggle with the crisis on our nearby southern border. It is no accident that New Mexico is now the most dangerous state in the country for both property and violent crimes. Our border crisis has two related elements: narcotics and human impacts. They are two sharp edges of the same sword.
The human impact edge.
New Mexico ranks last, or nearly last, in every measurement of life quality and we lead in every negative statistical category, including child hunger. Both drive home the cold hard fact that New Mexico’s government is not taking care of its own people. Our politicians will sacrifice our citizens to “virtue signal” their concern for (undocumented) aliens.
Recently in New Mexico, city and county governments have made outrageous commitments of our tax dollars to support illegal border crossers

The narcotics edge of this two-edged blade is a sharper and more dangerous edge. The migrant crisis is a “smokescreen” that the cartel craftily navigates behind

Illegal aliens ARE NOT immigrants.
Immigrants apply in their own country, wait their turn, pay their fees, learn the language and comply with the laws.
Illegal aliens don’t do any of that.
They just break in and break more laws EVERY day that they stay.
County commission speak for trespassers? Look to Santa Fe for some hel................. Oh, never mind.

WELL,....Well, … well, What DO YOU know?
Sounds like old Mexico.
“”” The governor of New Mexico and New Mexico’s U.S. representatives are willing to sacrifice our state and country in an attempt to keep our president from having a political victory on border security. “””
This guy gets it but it’s also to keep the flow of dem voters coming in
too bad people couldn’t sue their state when illegals cause to people- sue the state for not taking the crisis seriously enough, and for neglecting to adequately keep the civilians safe- dereliction of duty!
calling illegal aliens immigrants is like calling criminal home burglars, house guests
Thought NM was a libtard state that supported illegals, should be no problemo at all yeah? /s
I was born in White Sands Missile Range, I have no sympathies at all for NM given some of their libtard policies of late.
Our current governor makes Toney Anaya look like a good, competent governor. When I retire we are cashing out and returning to AZ.
Who are the misinformed nitwits who voted such pathetic LIB lunatics into office? I laugh at new Mexico for being the Land of the Idiots .
It’s the Dem Legislature and Governor in New Mexico that’s the problem.
