That’s racist against Hispanics...oh, wait. She is hispanic. Wonder how the lib media, La Raza and ACLU will spin this.

[Absolutely Nobama]

Richardson certainly put on some size towards the end, didn’t he ? He was like a mini- Moore that bathed.

[Absolutely Nobama]

Gotta love it! OOORAH, Governor! OOORAH!

[LS]

Holy Cow! Mucho GRANDE!

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[CedarDave]

Slim and Rogle, what's your take on this??

State law enforcement officers shall inquire into the criminal suspect’s immigration status, and report relevant information to federal immigration enforcement authorities.

It is unclear from my reading the executive order whether it applies to all law enforcement agencies in the state, or just to officers under the jurisdiction of the State Police.

[Tijeras_Slim]

I think it only applies to NMSP.

[Uri’el-2012]

I think it only applies to NMSP.

But it may drive the Illegal Aliens into the
sanctuary cities and increase crime in those cities.

Lástima que ya tiene novio esta Mártinez. Cierto la tejana es mi tipo. ¡Ojalá que ya viviera Elfego Baca para ayudarla con la plaga de hueros criminales!

Que crezcan cojones iguales los inútiles cabrones del partido republicano, evidentamente el partido en lo cual llevan las botas y los pantalones de cuero las mujeres.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Santa Fe gets what it deserves then.

[CedarDave]

I think it only applies to NMSP.

That was my take too. If so, then it will catch a relatively small number of illegals as local police and sheriff's officers arrest most criminals. It may, however, encourage local officials to adopt an order similar to ABQ except, of course, Santa Fe where they welcome the illegals and the drug and gang-related crimes they commit.

Thank you, CedarDave!

[Vigilanteman]

The lady has stones.
And she isn't bad looking either!

[The Comedian]

This will lose her many voters in the crucial Criminal Invader and Criminal Invader Conspirator demographics.

Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

[CedarDave]

I must correct myself. It was CNN who was doing the interview:

Alamogordo, New Mexico (CNN) – When CNN interviewed Susana Martinez, New Mexico's Republican candidate for Governor, we got a surprise. Our cameraman John Torigoe was trying to clip the microphone pack to the candidate's belt when she pulled away and said "Be careful, that's a gun back there." Martinez tells CNN she has a permit to carry a concealed weapon.

She was packing heat when she addressed a gathering in Alamogordo, New Mexico on Monday. She warned them not to get too confident because "as Republicans we're outnumbered."

and it nets about 10-20 illegals a week IIRC.
That is not near enough for a large City like Albuquerque.

Irving Texas has refered 1% of their population to ICE for deportation.

You cannot ascertain one’s status by appearance. The way they talk, behave, look away or run from the police are actions, not appearances.

DH - I see the forest and the trees. Asking people for their papers without reasonable suspicion or cause puts us all at risk eventually.

[TigersEye]

Exactly. Thank you. Even the Mexicans who come here on green cards look different from illegal aliens in the way they carry themselves. They know they are here legitimately and don't have the same fear in their eyes and tension in their posture. They don't act guarded.

I was going to use an example of someone of pure German descent going to Germany. Without opening their mouth the Germans would know they were foreigners. The more astute ones would probably know by looking at them if they were Americans or Brits or South Africans.

[cookcounty]

Remeber that Martinez won pretty big in a state that is 50% Hispanic.

The Hispanic population of New Mexico (and rural southern Colorado) is culturally very different from what you see in LA or many cities. They are quite conservative and very patriotic.

[TigersEye]

It’s easy to tell most of them without even hearing them speak.
