I am stunned... Never, ever did I think the Journal would print anything like this and says it is the opinion of the paper is the reason for no reporter’s names!

When those of us that live here tried to get politicians and reporters down here in October no one wanted to hear from us. We had a community meeting in November with Border Patrol, local law enforcement, politicians, invited media and the only one that showed up was a documentary reporter. We were stonewalled until very recently and all of the sudden the reporters began to show up out here. The majority of the articles from every source have been at least somewhat fair. We were trying to get the word out, but figured the articles even if written would likely not be factual and be slanted toward the open borders crowd. We had just hoped anything that was printed would cause people to question what is going on.

I guess if I still had rose colored glasses on I would say the reporters trips down here have opened their eyes, but I really have no idea what is happening. I feel like I am dreaming or in the Twilight Zone.

I think we already HAVE laws.

Why do we NOT enforce them better?

Partner, the Illegal Alien Vermin have been coming thru the New Mexico border since the Border Patrol does not have enough staff to put these Illegal Alien Vermin in jail. Heck there is no Border wall fencing in N.M.

This is why New Mexico has so many Illegal Aliens but some will go up north.

It has been an "Illegal Alien Invasion" for way too long a time. These DemonRats do not mind since these Illegal vermin will vote for the DemonRat party.

There is no compromise with these DemonRat party members since they want to make our POTUS look really bad in these negotiations.

It’s always comprehensive(we all get screwed), compromise(we all cave in) or bipartisan(uniparty-see comprehensive).

It’s never enforce the law.

Thanks for posting this, CedarDave. It has received zero coverage outside of New Mexico. Hopefully the Trump communications staff and GOP will pick up on this.

One other reason is the need to have millions more illegals in blue states so that they are counted for the census. That is also the reason they are fighting the citizenship question on the census.

President Trump tweeted a video that showed people down here talking to a reporter and it was the same people our new governor insulted after they tried to reach her with concerns we have in this area. President Trump was blasted by dims on that tweet...but the last time I saw it 1.2 million people had seen the video. I am happy about that, President Trump hears us!!

Those of us that live on the border are sharing information far and wide, reporters have been coming down. We appreciate any and all help to spread the word about what is going on down here. We know that many have no idea what is happening down here but we are trying to get the word out

The Left sees its path to permanent power through the replacement of liberty-favoring Whites by socialism-favoring non-Whites.

It’s already worked in CA, CO and VA.

Drastically reducing legal migration from the third world is even more important than the wall.

(and we’re getting neither)

I don’t care if they are white, black, brown, red or yellow if they come to America legally and participate in making and keeping America great.

I work in a company that is 50-50 Hispanic and have no problem with color and we all get along. Most of the Border Patrol along our southern border are also Hispanic. The problem comes when the Dems see them as a monolitic dependency class and will work to keep them that way. Don’t buy into their us vs. them propaganda.

The fact that there are lots of wonderful Hispanic Americans doesn’t take away from the nation-ending tragedy of their voting habits, which are their choices, not the Democrat Party’s.

At first glance my brain saw “drug dealers” where “dug-in leaders” is placed, and said “WTH?”

Remember, compromising with bad policy is like adding sewage to your drinking water.
