SMALL TOWN IN NEW MEXICO GO NUTS WHEN GOVERNOR SAID
THERE IS NO BORDER CRISES, By Steven Ahle, 1/29/19.
The governor of New Mexico did a tour of
the southern border with Mexico. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham
visited one of the safest spots on the border, carefully not going to the west,
where the real crises is.
Since October, the Border Patrol caught
groups of 100 or more illegals no less than 26 times. The border is wide open
there and residents of the unincorporated community of Hachita live in
fear.
They hear voices, see large groups of
illegals and one woman said that she saw a group of armed men in camouflage.
Grisham said: “I haven’t seen anything to indicate that we have an emerging crisis
here at the border.” - From The Conservative
Tribune.
She might have had a different
perspective had she gone farther west in the state. Residents of the unincorporated community of Hachita, in the southwest
corner of New Mexico, live with the realities of the border crisis every day.
As the last vestige of civilization before Highway 81 ends at a border entry
point, the town has become a hub for illegal immigration.
Every noise now has the potential to leave residents on edge. Some even
hear people talking outside of their houses, a terrifying prospect in such a
remote area.
“I’ve heard stuff and it makes me wonder. I don’t want to look outside,
because you never what’s outside your window,” retiree Bonnie Denzler told
the Tribune. “It’s really disconcerting
because you don’t know what’s going on.”
She also has a pointed message for the governor. “She needs to
come down here to this area — to see how wide open it is and how easy it is for
people to jump the fence. People need to see what’s down here and that it’s not
as safe as they’re spouting it is,” Denzler said.
The border
crossing in New Mexico appears to be relatively easy, prompting groups of over
100 to make the trek. More than 26 of these groups have been apprehended since
last October.
