DEMING, N.M. (AP) - Governor Richardson says he's concerned about violence along New Mexico's border with Mexico.
Authorities say seven men have been killed in the Mexican border town of Palomas in a turf war among drug cartels.
The Luna County Sheriff's Department says 162 gun shells were found where five men were killed Sunday in Palomas, across the border from Columbus, New Mexico.
Another 67 casings were found where a man and his son were fatally shot Friday.
A spokesman for Richardson says the governor has directed New Mexico public safety officials to be vigilant to ensure the problems don't spread into the United States.
Richardson also plans to ask New Mexico lawmakers to approve funding for an increased state law enforcement presence in the region.

Well I’m sure his “concern” is just going to radiate out in all directions and take care of the problem in short order.
On the other hand, maybe the problem will be solved FASTER if he tries DOING something about it, instead of just being concerned.
Something like, oh I don’t know, SECURING THE BORDER.

Isn’t New Mexico PART of the United States?
I am sure more liberal policies will help. After all protecting this Country with a better fence is a conservative and evil idea.
Lets see now, Why not BUILD a FENCE, Mr. Richardson? Or are you to busy CAMPAIGNING for BARAK HUSSIEN to do anything about the BODER.
I like my way of securing the BORDER -- a MINE FIELD. The Southwest is PART OF THE USA.

Yep dont they know this is bad for the environment, its wasteful and its not polite to litter
Ah yes...just old fashioned ‘family values NOT stopping at the southern borders’.
It used to be..
“Isn’t New Mexico PART of the United States?”
LOL. Maybe Richardson is trying to tell us something...
HA!
Yeah, when you look at it that way, it’s an ENVIRONMENTAL issue.
Earth First should be lobbying to have the killers charged with improper disposal of lead for all the ammo they wasted.
7 men must have been at least 10% of the male population of Palomas.
Just last week he said Mexico was more secure and we should consider lifting travel warnings.LOL
“Isn’t New Mexico PART of the United States?”
LOL. Not since the drug cartels decided to make it part of Old Mexico.
Another brilliant democRAT. BARF
Richardson is funny on SNL.
I could use a few of those shells; I seem accumulate guns faster than shells for them.
= snail shell
= sea shell
= egg shell
Gun shell?
