I cant find it in print but I heard a story recently on local (Albuquerque) radio about a significant drop in illegal alliens making it across the border in NM ...Cant remember the numbers but since the 80's there has been a huge increase in border guards etc.
no credit is ever given for the positive stuff happening regarding this issue
C'mon now, Woofie. You know Richardson is picking them up at the border in a shuttle bus. LOL! They don't count those in the totals. ;o)
Don't make me laugh, hombre. Everyone knows the border crossings into New Mexico have always been far less in number than those into California, Arizona and Texas... with Arizona being the leakiest place. If you look at the map of New Mexico, you see that --- unlike the other three states --- less than half of its southern border is with Mexico. The remainder of the border is with Texas.
Also, the New Mexico portion of the border is the most impassable. This is well known also.
If anything, El Paso would be the main source of illegals into New Mexico and you know the majority of them are just "passing through" to other states like Colorado, Missouri, etc., where they can get promised jobs. There have never been that many jobs for them in New Mexico.

This would seem to contradict what you said.
