I hear this all started when EBID got angry due to a reasoned and correct decision on John D'Antonio's part not to allow them credit water that really has been earned by Middle Rio Grande users. They decided they didn't like that and want someone in the job who will cowtow to Southern New Mexico. I'm certainly baffled...oh, nevermind, I get it. It's the Governor's southern lean that explains everything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11762382.post-33241800057905122042011-07-20T14:44:01.064-06:002011-07-20T14:44:01.064-06:00That's a good point and thank you for saying t...That's a good point and thank you for saying that.<br /><br />Immigrants don't cause problems, they aren't getting into accidents, they pay taxes and take nothing from the government or Social Security because they aren't eligible for government services, and since there are no jobs here they aren't even coming here any more as you have pointed out.<br /><br />What Governor Martinez and other Republicans are doing is demagoguery at best, and I think you're right in saying it's even more insidious than that and will have consequences.<br /><br />Any time you single out a group based on what we here in the US call ethnicity, and what is called race elsewhere, it's racism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
