A recent Democratic-backed law in New Mexico seeks to solve the state’s rampant crime problem and shortage of cops by letting foreign nationals become police officers.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on April 7
signed Senate Bill 364, which opens the door for anyone with a federal work permit to serve as a cop. In 2024 alone, the Biden administration
issued over two million new work permits to non-citizens — many through hotly debated parole
programs with major oversight flaws.
Over the last several years, New Mexico has experienced an exodus of cops and a spike in crime, something Las Cruces Police Chief Jeremy Story
attributes to the anti-police sentiment stemming from the George Floyd riots.
“That’s an objective fact. You look at our application numbers over time, you can look at state police, Albuquerque or even Portland. It has a lot to do with the environment or the climate around policing especially from 2020 on,” he
told the Las Cruces Bulletin.
“New Mexico’s move follows other left wing strongholds like California, Illinois, and Colorado, where state Democrats have similarly allowed non-citizens to join law enforcement ranks.”
New Mexico
has the highest rate of violent crime in America and the lowest percentage of violent crimes that are
solved.
NM is totally FUBAR but how else you gonna get MS13/cartels controlling your state?
The NM Government isn’t being lazy, it's being intentional.
Consider this, now non-citizens can legally shoot US citizens.
Just spitballing here but maybe if they supported the police and let them do their job, they wouldn't have a shortage of officers.
