So I live in Albuquerque in a somewhat upscale neighborhood [View all]
But we aren’t wealthy just stretched the income years ago to live in the Sandia Mountain foothills.
We need repairs. We will sell the house in ten years in our mid 70s.
On my walk today saw lovely work being done on a stuccoed wall nearby. Asked the two gentleman to come over and talk to me I need repairs on a gate if not replacement.
But it was a different conversation than it would have been a few years ago. You could sense a bit of fear with us acting more reassuring than we would have had to before. And there is no doubt in my mind they will do great work.
They did come over. One? No English. Other telling us credentials. Not overselling me. They only work on weekends. Fine with us. First names only.
I guess my point? My life is NM. Grew up in SW NM. Originally from Texas.
Living working supporting school (kids we raise them as culturally diverse with our Native American and Hispanic cultures) all of it is part of our DNA. We I think will not be an easy target for ICE. NM is a blue state and we are a so called sanctuary city.
I just don’t think it will go well here the raids and so on and I worry about my kids friends in law enforcement. They shouldn’t be in this position of supporting this regime.
