Albuquerque Mayor and City Council Make Illegal Immigrants the City's Top Priority—The Goal is to Encourage More Illegal Immigration to Albuquerque

Friday, May 10, 2019

In a sharp departure from Governor Susana Martinez's focus on economic expansion and job growth for New Mexicans, Governor Michelle Grisham is reorienting the state's priorities to encourage more illegal immigration into the state, seeing it as an alternative form of economic expansion.
Grisham has joined with Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller and City Councillor Pat Davis in diverting New Mexico taxpayer dollars toward encouraging illegal immigrants to settle in Albuquerque, claiming that the people wandering in from Honduras and other Central American countries are "asylum-seekers," akin to famous dissidents such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn and Andrei Sakharov.

EXPO NEW MEXICO TRANSFORMED into a HOUSING UNIT for ILLEGALS
Expo New Mexico, the home of the New Mexico State Fair, is now prepared to house illegal immigrants on its 236-acre property in central Albuquerque. The families will stay in dormitories which had only been used by New Mexico children showing their livestock at the State Fair. More than 2,000 illegal immigrants have come through Albuquerque in recent months claiming to be seeking "asylum."
However, there are no actual asylum seekers identified thus far—none of the illegal immigrants have been shown to be dissidents, or to hold any standing at all of concern to the Central American countries from which they are emigrating.
Instead, they are abandoning their homes, essentially at the open invitation of US Democratic Party elected officials as part of their efforts to grow voter rolls—regardless of the cost to American taxpayers.

Albuquerque has established an "Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs," a preposterous entity, given that the individuals migrating to New Mexico are not refugees and they are not "immigrants," but rather illegal immigrants who are merely walking into the US at the invitation of politicians. 

 

POLICIES ARE FOOLING MANY NEW MEXICANS

 

As we have reported before, a number of otherwise intelligent voters we have interviewed, including attorneys and other professionals, have mimicked the lines used by Nancy Pelosi, telling NMPJ that what appears to most Americans to be an obvious crisis at the border is in fact "a manufactured crisis invented by Trump." 

Grisham promotes the same concepts in discussing the illegals, saying:

"These asylum-seekers are primarily women and children and are not a danger to us; they need rest, hydration and minor medical checkups before they resume their journeys,” she said. “I’m proud of the courageous nonprofit network that has done such incredible work on the border and in Albuquerque.”

But our own interviews with Border Patrol agents reveal a different story. Relatively few of the supposed "families" are in fact even related, as mules and coyotes and single men work together, linking abandoned children with unattached males and females to engage in the ruse of presenting a nuclear family—one of the requirements for obtaining refugee or asylum status.
