I lived in Hobbs for a spell. It seemed like Texas just with a state income tax.
Coals to Newcastle. Good, gets them out of Texas.
I’ve been in NM for seven years. Not much here to “colonize”. Not much industry or ambition.
People here think the gov’t is there to take care of them.
NM list PING!

But NM is still trending Red in the last several elections
I say it with regret, as I descend from several of the “first families of New Mexico;” we’ve been there more than 400 years.
That said, NM right now is lost. The simpletons of the Texas legislature are determined to pee away their dominance of the state. If bleeding off sow of the loonier rats leave Texas and go to NM, then it’s to the good, at least for now
Why don’t they report on the National Guard patrolling the streets of Albuquerque?
When we were looking to relocate a few years ago, my wife was drawn to Santa Fe for the cooler climate and small city vibe, but we couldn’t afford it.
The only things I know about New Mexico is what I saw in the TV series “Please Stand By” and clips from “Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul”. The “New Mexican” restaurants here in Arizona are like all the southwest restaurants, but with more green chili peppers. They have oil. They should be doing better.
I spent a few years in Silver City around the turn of the century, before moving back to Arizona. The local government wasn’t all that bad but the state government was pretty liberal even then. I’ve never been to Albuquerque and hope I never do go there.
I do miss good New Mexican food, though.
It's good for Texas. It won't change a thing in New Mexico.
TX with 40 ev gets redder
NM with 5 ev gets bluer
