Dozens of illegal immigrants have been caught in Albuquerque in less than two weeks. All were arrested under Albuquerque's new screening policy and city officials said it is proof it's working.
Of the illegal immigrants, 31 were arrested in Albuquerque for charges like DWI and drug possession.
City officials said some men are notable. Antonio Mota is in custody on charges of rape and kidnapping. Trinidad Martinez is charged with attempted murder.

Strike while the iron’s hot
!!BOYCOTT NEW MEXICO!! Uh, wait...
Doesn’t this sound kinda like what Arizona intends to do? So, why all the hoopla over Arizona? California too has similar laws on the books. Seems to me there’s a whole lot of boycotting that could be going on in addition to Arizona.
Do I need a /sarc tag for this?
*Screening policy*??
Sounds like PROFILING to me! <)};P
For a few weeks (days?), anyhow, until INS turns them loose with a suggestion that they appear at a hearing or until they wet right back across the border after "deportation."
It is most definitely PROFILING and highly discriminatory. They are only doing it to arrestees and only because of their status in that group.
“Seems to me theres a whole lot of boycotting that could be going on in addition to Arizona.”
Believe me you don’t need a reason NOT to come to New Mexico. ;-)
Some years ago, the wife and I thought Las Cruces would be a nice spot to live in. But looking into NM politics changed that opinion. Beautiful state, but screwed up politically from what I’ve seen. I already have that in Illinois. Why change?
Works for me...
Should of been doing this for a while now.

PROFILING works way to go Az.
Unless we secure the border most, if not all, will return within a week.
“PROFILING works way to go Az”
Albuquerque ain’t much, but it is in New Mexico. You most likely just manage to insult people in two states! ;-)
I try Az,NM,same land only the names have been changed.
“¡Adios amigos!”
