SANTA FE, N.M. — A Native American tribe in New Mexico says it has the right to ask residents of a tribal-owned mobile home community for proof of U.S. citizenship and proper immigration documentation.

Under New Mexico law, illegal immigrants do not have to show they are legally in the U.S. to rent housing.
Good for the Native Americans.Even they are fed up with illegals and confronting the problem. Just to ask if this is Tribally owned but is not on Indian Reservation, will New Mexico indicate their laws supersede Tribal laws since this is not on their land ?
The most American government body in the United states right now...
I guess we are all heartless, isn’t that the current label for those who be against illegal Immigration.
I guess it’s “better late than never”, huh?
The Mexican and other border-crossing illegal scum have made the people of the Tohono O’odham reservation in southcentral Arizona littered with human waste, trash and other stuff. The liberals, of course, say nothing.
Who has more of a right? After all they suffered from the first failed immigration policies.
This is legally interesting. Tribes have considerable autonomy over their lands, except when they take state or federal money for things like housing. But they are under no obligation to permit non-tribal members to live on their lands.
One of the terrible ironies of the tribal treaties is that it is extremely hard for outside corporations to provide goods and services on tribal land, because there is an *absence* of federal business law. In the law, tribal members hold the same status as minors, in that they cannot be held to contracts.
I think this is great.
A goodly fraction of Oklahoma is Indian land. In the olden days, maybe Geronimo and Quanah Parker would have inquired about citizenship.
I’m not sure whose citizenship would be acceptable, though. (Whaddya mean “we”, Paleface?)

The Tesuque Pueblo has been around thousands of years longer than the corrupt New Mexico State Government. Tesuque 1, State 0.
Ole Okie didn't they rule that any land owned by an Indian was Indian land, which gave rise to all the smoke shops. I used to live near Tulsa when I think all that took place.
I knew a lot of hard working guys that suddenly became CEO's of the family smoke shop. Born in Commerce, in 1938.
You're an ex-Commerce Comet, huh?
There was a suit or suits filed to shut down Indian smoke shops not located on a reservation, but I don't know what ruling resulted. There's still plenty of them around.
Commerce Tigers in the day. Tiger Chat was the school news paper. Did I mention, I am old?
Now I’m too old.
Commerce Comet was Mickey Mantle’s nickname.
I shot pool with Micky and Billy Martin once, when I was a kid in High School, they used to come to that little town and spread the cheer. CHS Class of 56.
