The potential is there but the liberals have spoiled it by giving away the country. Mexicans just happen to be first in line due to proximity.

30 years ago in the south New Mexico/El Paso area it was the legalized Mexicans that were turning in the illegals that were sponging the system because they knew that the pot was only so big. That was a generation ago.

I would so love for all the “scum” that is flooding our borders and country today to have an epiphany once they get their feet on the ground and realize that they have been handed the most precious opportunity on the planet and foster some kind of respect for protecting it.

Thanks for the positive thought this morning.

Here and now in SE NM, Hispanics (we call them Mexicans here) are in the majority and it is also one of the most Republican voting areas of the country. I think the entire NM-3 Congressional district, which encompasses most of the land mass in the state including the area you describe, has a Hispanic population percentage equal to just about any in the country, and it is not likely to go blue anytime soon.

The divide, I think, is more urban/rural just as it is with the population in general.
