Susana Martínez Draws Ire of Immigrant Advocates in New Mexico

[LostAmerican]

Just a few weeks into her term, New Mexico Gov. Susana Martínez already has a major fight on her hands.

Immigrant rights groups are planning to rally at the Capitol in protest of the Republican governor's immigration policies.

Somos Un Pueblo Unido, an immigrants rights based in Sante Fe, is helping to organize Monday's rally at the Capitol against what it considers anti-immigrant policies.

The planned demonstration comes a week after Martínez, who became the first Latina governor in the country after the November elections, issued an executive order requiring state law enforcement to check the immigration status of criminal suspects.

Administration officials say state agency law enforcement will ask about the immigration status of those arrested for crimes, but that won't happen routinely when state police stop someone for a traffic violation.

Still, some Democratic lawmakers have objected to the governor's executive order, saying it will lead to racial profiling by law enforcement.

Martínez also wants the Legislature to repeal a law allowing driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

That says it all. Only LATINOS have rights!!! All other "immigrants", swim back to where you came from.

Those rallies are as ineffective as they always has been. They only bring attention to their illegality in this country. If they had any sense, they would keep quite until the economy recovered. NO chance in hell of another amnesty or path to citizenship is this economy. And we may not recover for years if we ever do. Rallies now will back fire. Enforcement has been on the forefront for over a year and there is more to come. They would do well to go home as soon as possible and get the best seats.
Illegal aliens are going home and soon they will have nowhere to go but home. State after state are cracking down of illegals.

What's funny is, if they have a mass rally of illegals, then a counter-rally of citizens, DHS is mostly interested in the counter-rally!

Was that Department of Homeland Security or Department of Human Services?
