CNN: New Mexico Gov. Declares Border Emergency
 

http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/08/12/newmexico/index.html


Ain't it funny how they declared a border emergency when word that citizens' groups were about to file massive lawsuits against New Mexico?

Same is gonna happen in AZ and Cali. I knew this shit would happen. All the lawyers needed was to finally realize the loopholes that would allow them to do it and then next thing you know they're declaring border emergencies etc.

I don't follow.. what's the problem?

Should have let the Minutemen hand them fuckers thier asses.

You're kidding, right?

How many immigrants cross into the states on a daily basis? They should have done that years ago

/me patiently waits for liberals to weigh in on this topic

come to Los Angeles and you will understand. :thumbsup

"The declaration says the region "has been devastated by the ravages and terror of human smuggling, drug smuggling, kidnapping, murder, destruction of property and the death of livestock. ...

"[It] is in an extreme state of disrepair and is inadequately funded or safeguarded to protect the lives and property of New Mexican citizens."

The move makes $750,000 in state emergency funds available to Dona Ana, Luna, Grant and Hidalgo counties.

Richardson pledged an additional $1 million in assistance for the area, his office said in a news release.

Richardson -- a Democrat who served in President Clinton's Cabinet -- criticized the "total inaction and lack of resources from the federal government and Congress" in helping protect his state's residents along the border."

Ja, the governor is a liberal.

To be fair though it just ain't S. and Central Americans. I know of some European illegal immigrants I'ld like to beat with a shovel right now.

*crickets chirping* haha whats the matter you fucking libs gotta wait to read the michael moore website or get an email bulletin from moveon.org before you form an opinion on this?

It's great living in one of the few countries on Earth that doesn't share a land border with another country. :thumbsup

Thank god we didn't listen to all the anti-war protesters and went into Iraq! So what if we don't have enough money or political pressure to patrol our borders correctly.... it's almost as if we can protect the borders from over there! I'm so glad I'm not one of those cRaZy liberals!

What the fuck does this have to do with Iraq? We wouldnt protect our borders with American troops anyways. Go back to school Jr.

A strangely xenophobic comment coming from you. :eek2

Not xenophobic at all... I love other cultures and believe in immigration. But it's nice to be able to have more choice who gets in.

Make it easier for workers to come into the country legally. :2 cents:

One of the main points of the article is that the administration won't provide the boder patrol the resources it needs. Michael Moore included that in F-911. Liberal enough for ya? :winkwink:

No, I'm not. Are you upset that they are trying to beef up border security or what?

Maybe I'm just dense tonight.. I'm confused :)

Good. The US barely has enough money to care for its own people, much less illegal immigrants. Legal immigrants are fine, I have no problem with them, as with refugee status. But people sneaking in under the wire.. that's a huge leak in any system.

And I'm a liberal. Go figure.

And a canuck. :winkwink:

... and from BC, and so probably intimately familiar with cargo-containers full of snakeheaded chinese refugees washing up on nearby shores. :(

Canada could certainly use a revamping of our immigration policy as well. Serious improvement on screen processes and easing of restrictions post-acceptance would be great... perhaps we would see fewer recently-new-canadian doctors driving cabs. :thumbsup

lol, U.S. stole Mexico's land a long time ago and now they are bitchin about them trying to reclaim some of it back.

the end result of war is to utilize the resources of a foreign entity and then subvert that culture with your own to safeguard the resources.

Mexico is at war with the USA and looks like they are winning too . .. any questions?

No, we'd protect the borders with resources that have been diverted to Iraq... and nah.... I don't need to go back to school.... naked chicks pay just fine.

Put The Fence Back Up

the price of mexican brick weed is going to go up by 10% holy fuck!

I don't see the problem. I don't compete with mexican immigrants for a job either.

Illegal Mexicans are the ones that do all of our landscaping, farming, etc... basically shit work for low pay. Its because of this I dont give a damn anymore...

Btw, I am more conservative

Go to Mexico without leaving Los Angeles. Just drive down Van Nuys Blvd in the San Fernando Valley.

Most illegal immigrants will work very for for very little money. It's the people that that are on welfare that is breaking the system......... :2 cents:
