#1 spokeswoman for Bingaman, said the additional agents could have an effect on Border Patrol operations in DoÃ±a Ana County, but she didnât know to what extent.

The one main route north of the border is I-25. The Customs and INS have a 24 hour check point on the interstate in Dona Ana. The back road north out of Silver City had a major bridge wash out this past spring. The other two exits are either way on I-10 which only lead to other checkpoints just in Texas beyond El Paso and Arizona.

Don't know if they're going to stop the Mexican school kids to continue to use Columbus schools. The local officials for years have been allowing their classrooms to fill with these kids cause the state funds per pupil. The Dems who run the state look the other way. 10 years ago when the BP hit the El Paso area heavily, the school population dropped in Las Cruces and had the school administation whining - who didn't give a damn that it was in effect stealing funding from other New Mexico students. The local sheriff however was pleased because car theft dropped significantly.

#2 better late than never. Hopefully this will help some.
How about when cops stop folks for traffic offenses, along with asking to see the license and car registration should be proof of citizenship. Send them back. We've got to stop all of the free stuff available. It's really draining our economy. If these hospitals and schools stopped getting funded for them then we'd see a turn around. It's time!

Ummm, just what would be acceptable?
I'm a native Alabamian, I don't carry proof of citizenship, and know of no others who do.
Are you suggesting a national ID card?
It would be immediately counterfited as the other forms of ID currently are.

#4 I can imagine that even if you had documentation that you were a citizen of New Mexico it wouldn't still register with the patrolman pulling you over that you are an American. If you ever see a New Mexico license plate, look carefully. I think its the only plate which not only lists the state name, but its immediately followed by "USA". That's because god too many of our American citizens lack a basic knowledge of our 50 states. Way too many instances of confusing the 47th state of the union [1912] with Old Mexico, a separate country, by local law enforcement beyond the borders of the Land of Enchantment. You a foreigner, a boy?

#5 yes you're right, a national ID card isn't a good idea.
I spoke out of frustration.
