New Mexico had the 13th-highest homicide mortality rate nationwide in 2020, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data said. Its largest city, Albuquerque, had an estimated violent crime rate of about 1,043.4 offenses per 100,000 inhabitants in 2019, based on statistics collected by the FBI.
Newly-elected New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, a Republixan, went and did one of those Republican-ish things yesterday. But this time Democrats can’t cry raaaaacism because as you may have been able to tell by her last name, Martinez is Hispanic.

The standard Democrat charge of raaaacism doesn't hold much agua when the Governor is Hispanic
KOAT-TV has the details:
Martinez ordered the reversal of the state’s “sanctuary status,” which prohibited law enforcement from asking criminal suspects about their citizenship. Now, officers will be able to ask anyone they suspect of a crime about their immigration status.
Marcela Diaz, of Somos Un Pueblo Unido, an immigrant rights organization, said this will essentially turn police into immigration agents.
“I think this was a knee-jerk decision that was not well thought out,” Diaz said. “Not only will this lead to increased racial profiling, it taxes resources of limited enforcement.”
The new governor said allowing law enforcement to inquire into immigration status is a big step forward in protecting the public, but Diaz and others believe this move could create more victims.
Obviously, it won’t create more victims, because if it did Marcela and the other Democrats would heartily approve of it. Democrats love victims like drug addicts love robbing convenience stores.
Surely, the good people of New Mexico, lead by liberal Governor Bill Richardson, will put out the welcome mat at the Arizona border and greet their newest residents at the state line with champagne, confetti and welfare checks.
Consider this a textbook case of cause and effect.
The cause: Conservative Arizona passes its new anti-illegal alien law.
The effect: Said same illegal aliens immediately pack their bags and move next door to liberal New Mexico.

Apparently, those idiot Republicans in New Mexico momentarily forgot that they are all racists and sexists, because they went out and nominated Susana Martinez, a Hispanic woman, as their candidate for governor.
She's a woman. She's Hispanic. She's a Republican. Liberal brains are seizing up all across America.

Fox News reports the remarkable results:
She’ll face Democrat Diane Denish in a general election race deciding who becomes New Mexico’s first female governor.
It will be the third woman-against-woman gubernatorial general election match-up in U.S. history.
Martinez, the Dona Ana County district attorney, won a five-way contest for the GOP nomination Tuesday night with 51 percent of the vote in unofficial returns and nearly half of precincts reporting.
Yeah, but…yeah, but…yeah, but if she were gay they wouldn’t have voted for her.
