I agree, living in NM the past 62 years. The 60% Hispanic majority population here are legal immigrants, multi generation citizens dating way back. I do not personally know any illegals and the huge number of Hispanics I know, both immigrant and long time citizens are not in these welfare numbers. I am sure some are, so are a lot of gringos, but nothing like the numbers they are bouncing around.
