Too bad we don't have a strict republican governor.
We need reform now, And all of the immigrants from Arizona will come to New Mexico... and problems here will get worse.
I don't want my tax dollars supporting someone with food stamps and medical care, when our own US citizens can't even recieve it. Horrid.
Thats the worst about being a Santuary State.
Here's just one example of why AZ now has this law....On the news they interviewed a couple who have been here for 15 years, illegally and admit to it. They have 10 kids. Neither work so WHO is supporting them? They lived in a place run by a 'slumlord' who is now totally pissed because he lost 8 families! We are taking away his income. Waaaah. Were those other 7 families employed? Who knows. Also these illegals didn't speak English and needed a translator to speak with reporters. After 15 years here??? They were counting on their 'sob story' to get people to let them stay I guess but they aren't. They are moving to Colorado! At least NM didn't get them...this time.
Well... too bad Bill Ritter will not remain as governor of Colorado... I would expect this out of colorado as well.. Some places of colorado are racist! haha.
Well, when I was in New Mexico.. My sister-in law used to work at the department of labor, I probably had not been there in years before that, well the only people in there were MEXICANS.
It is not suprising... but I'm proud for Arizona, Damn Proud. Maybe New Mexico and Nevada some day will come to their sences and have strict laws on this issue. I'm like, sick of it. SICK.
GOVERNOR RICHARDSON= MEXICAN ROOTS= LOTS AND LOTS OF BENEFITS FOR HIS PEOPLE. Can I have JOHNSON back now???????

Good!! I know one thing, If we are going to have a woman as governor it should be her!! She is the real deal.

she looks like a good choice for me too, I also like Turner though.
The new poll finds 61 percent of voters nationally think Arizona was right to take action instead of waiting for the federal government to do something on immigration. That's more than twice as many as the 27 percent who think securing the border is a federal responsibility and Arizona should have waited for Washington to act.
Most Republicans (77 percent) and independents (72 percent) support Arizona taking action. Democrats are divided: 43 percent think the state was right, while 41 percent think Arizona should have let the federal government take the lead.
The fact that it's a Fox News poll will give some reading this reason to denounce the results, no doubt.
In places along the border, you'd be locking up a lot of mothers and fathers with families to raise who benefit from illegal maids who live in their homes, or somehow manage to get back and forth over the border to work in homes. El Paso is a case in point. My wife and I employed live-in maids on a regular basis, as did MOST people in our social strata. In fact, when someone buys a home in El Paso, they often ask if there is a "maid's room" in the floor plan!
I even recall one particular maid who regularly came to work on Monday (to stay in our home until Fri) with dried mud up to her knees from having waded the river back in the days before it was concrete lined.
I know a lot of people in El Paso that don't employ illegals. And just because some do, it doesn't make it right at all.
Some people in El Paso manage just fine without bringing in all kinds of illegals, they mow their own lawns, make their own beds, wash their dishes themselves - just like people in other places do.
