Illegal Migrants Bringing Disease To New Mexico, Yet Democrats Want A "Sanctuary State"

Above, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham.

Already, the Democrats in the New Mexico state government are salivating over the prospect of turning the state into a sanctuary state for illegal immigrants.

What they fail to realize, or they do and just don't give a damn, is that these illegals often carry diseases that can and will spread to the state's population.

Breitbart reported:

Border Patrol agents learned that a migrant who crossed the border with a large group in the New Mexico desert is suffering from flesh-eating bacteria. Border Patrol officials said this is one of many ailments for which they are treating migrants. 

Border Patrol agents assigned to the Lordsburg Station in New Mexico said a Central American migrant sought medical treatment for what he believed to be a rash. The agents transported the migrant to a hospital where doctors determine the rash to be caused by necrotizing fascitis — flesh-eating bacteria, Border Patrol spokesman Carlos Antunez told the Associated Press.

The bacteria, which can be fatal, spreads quickly after being introduced to the body through a minor cut or scrape. It can cause an infection that can destroy muscle, skin, and other tissue, officials reported.

The Las Cruces Sun News reported:

SANTA FE - New Mexico, the state with the largest percentage of Hispanic residents in the nation, could be the latest to adopt sanctuary status regarding immigrants, under a Democratic plan. 

Identical Democratic proposals introduced in the New Mexico House and Senate say state agencies would be barred from cooperating with federal immigration authorities seeking to hold or deport immigrants suspected of being in the U.S. illegally. 

The authority of sheriffs and jails to hold federal immigrant detainees also would see new limits. 

In addition, state agencies couldn’t use public funds to help federal authorities in “detecting, apprehending, arresting, detaining or prolonging the detention of a person” facing possible deportation. 

The bills, co-sponsored by Rep. Patricia Roybal Caballero, D-Albuquerque, Sen. Richard Martinez, D-Española, and Sen. Linda M. Lopez, D-Albuquerque, were proposed after intense pressure from immigrant advocacy groups.

Contact your state representative and Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham and tell them to oppose any legislation that would make New Mexico a sanctuary state. Lunatic proposals such as this also will endanger the state's tribes.
