BPR:
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 has the highest rate of violent crime in America and the lowest percentage of violent crimes that are solved. MORE
Awesome, my single, 25 y.o. daughter just took a job in Albuquerque, far away from everyone. There’s no stopping her so all I can ask is for her Guardian Angel to protect her
There’s no shortage of bad ideas coming from Democrat- and RINO-run municipalities.
That’s how you get illegal alien gang-bangers on the police force!
“You wouldn’t have a shortage of cops if you raised the pay.”

Bad idea, this will not end well. Will the cops they hire this way even speak English.
It will be fun when DHS arrests the employers for hiring illegals.
We have met the enemy and it is the democRAT party.
You can come to no other conclusion. DEM-S13
Remember when police cadets had to be able to pass a background check?
If you’re in NM, get out.
If you’re not in NM, stay out.
Coincidentally, I recently watched a documentary on this very subject:

New Mexico’s crime problem isn’t caused by a lack of cops. It’s caused by a leadership caste of fucking democrat assholes completely unwilling to do what is needed to stop crime and, in many cases, actively facilitating it.
There are few things more sinister than this.
i’d shit in nm from a safe altitude & speed, on the way out…like austin
The hand of the globalist. Citizenship in a nation isn’t a thing. World citizenship means… there’s nowhere to run, and, if you don’t like it here there’re 7.65 billion people who would LOVE to take your place, so shut your trap and get in line, prole!
