Typical Liberal - dead wrong
It would send a clear message, and has proved to be effective everywhere it has been deployed.
In a 2005 Executive Order, Richardson forbid the state police from inquiring about immigration status and forbid them from enforcing immigration laws. Santa Fe is also a sanctuary city.
Meanwhile, 4 states have troops on his border with Mexico guarding his sorry butt and that of his lazy fellow New Mexicans. I say send them home now and let New Mexico fend for itself.

That explains it. So now we have to listen to him go into full hispanic pander mode for Florida until then.
I'll bet that insurgent line brings down the house in RAT circles.
Considering the current state of our energy situation, and that with North Korea, Richardson's résumé is pretty lousy.
Now minefields and towers with machine gun nests spaced 100 meters apart, would actually get the job done.
Reconquista Richrdson want to to make the amnesty bill better?
What he means is to allow MORE immigration. The bill would improve if it was torn up into little bits.
If that's so, Bill, then I would contend that allowing twelve to twenty million illegal aliens into the country was an even bigger mistake.
Let's hear something constructive about why we should trust you -- or any other politician -- with fixing the problem that you created.
ANYONE opposing a fence to STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is truly pro-illegals. The only thing that will STOP ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION is a wall, a fence. Anything else is pandering, tokenism, politics and absolute crap.
Just like what our government is trying to shove down our throats. Without our consent. Without our vote. Not even telling us what they are going to DO TO US.
And Jefferson, Franklin, Adams and Madison are rolling over in their graves, watching the REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT they fought so hard for, vanish into a socialistic mob scene of elitists in Washington.
Oh yeah?
Well 34 other countries have them and it works just fine. Israel just put one up a few years ago and it has stopped the homicide-bombing rate by 90%!!
So I guess that Richardson is PRO-ILLEGALS rather then protecting & defending Americans which is why he has such a position on having a border wall.
I actually like my neighbor, but I still have a wall separating our properties. H doesn’t seem to mind either.
New Mexico existed long before “Old” Mexico. It was settled before Jamestown was established and many can trace their ancestery to the first settlers. That said, I don’t think that Richardson stands for any principle I can accept. What has happened since 1986 is nothing but an invasion encouraged by an informal alliance between American businessmen and Mexican elites who have more invested in Switzerland than in their own country.
Exactly. Liberals were dead wrong about the wall in Israel, as well. They’d have preferred for Palestinian terrorists to have open access to the Israeli borders and to continue to blow up innocent Israelis.
‘’Yes, improve border security, but I believe this wall is a big mistake,’’ he said. ``It would be a terrible symbol, and it would be ineffective.’’
Methinks, Richardson doth protest too much. Build the wall. If it is ineffective we can always tear it down. As we have seen from Simpson-Mazzoli, an immigration bill without enforcement is no protection. That is what Richardson stands for.
Richerson is toast and the poles will show it.
We all have been told for the last year or so what a “moderate” Richardson was. I never believed it.
With this statement and a few others maybe he could loose his Governorship next time around too. NM is a swing state so it could happen.
Michael Medved spent a long time talking about what a moderate Richardson was and what a threat he might be in the democratic primaries. Medved also likes the immigration bill but that what I might expect from former eastern former liberal living in a 95% white town.
The people of AZ and NM and TX don’t want to become part of Mexico like CA has.
And we will VOTE.
I see none of the poles on immigration are done in just AZ,NM,TX and NV.
So, he is for amnesty, against the wall, and his main problem with the immigration bill is how it fixes the immigration system to end chain migration - maybe ...
“Richardson said his experience as governor of New Mexico makes him the most qualified to grapple with immigration. Allowing illegal immigrants to earn citizenship, he said, would improve U.S. relations with Latin America and the Caribbean.”
Translation: He is most qualified, due to his vast experience with his electorate, to sell out America to turn it into a Latin American style banana republic.
“What has happened since 1986 is nothing but an invasion encouraged by an informal alliance between American businessmen and Mexican elites who have more invested in Switzerland than in their own country.”
Maybe the first FReeper to get it right.
