“Why don’t come through New Mexico?”
Some do, following I-25
and state road 285 north
from Ft Stockton by vehicle.
Resources for invaders are
few and far between. Water
available only from stock
tanks (if traveling by foot).
Distances between New
Mexico’s larger cities is
the main reason there aren’t
many coming thru this
corridor.
Two other reasons: cholla and prickly pear.
