RUSH EXCERPT:
MARTINEZ: “Well, New Mexico used to be a sanctuary state under my predecessor. He declared in New Mexico, a sanctuary state. Shortly after I became governor a little over eight years ago, I pulled it by executive order, we were no longer a sanctuary city, because it’s unsafe. It puts the citizens of new Mexico into jeopardy because we release individuals who commit crime and lets them wander in New Mexico or other states. I don’t think it passed because hopefully they’re listening, the legislators of listening to the people of the state to say we have a right to the safety of the public in our businesses, in our schools, that when we shop that we should not be victims of crime by persons who are here in this country illegally.”
