Equity Immigrant self-deports op-ed piece for Daily Times

Equity Immigration and New Mexico


People who try to benefit from their earned equity in states that are richer than New Mexico, that would be the 48 states, except for Mississippi, will not succeed.  On purpose.

In 2005 I brought my heart, soul, talents and money to San Juan County.  At the close of escrow in 2005 I should have known what was coming - the seller's agent was the only agent working the sale.  No wonder I am getting sued for possession of my driveway 11 years later.

And then there's the thing about working here.  Schools are pork, the money is for the locals.  But the problem is that the locals lack education.  Locals administer and outsiders work, but not easily or for long.  Job performance is irrelevant in New Mexico.  Pay to play, if you know the right person to pay.

Last year I earned top evaluations, but still was terminated for NO REASON.  The district refused to give a reason, or even a termination notice for that matter.  Get a lawyer?  Not unless your injuries killed you, then the lawyer will represent your estate and take as much of it as possible.

In 2007 my neighbor physically attacked me.  The sheriff who wrote the incident report wrote things that even in SJC, nine years later, cause alarm.  Painful as it was to see things so ignorant and prejudiced in print about me, I'm glad I reviewed the record.  It was written by a guy named "Webb." The clerk who printed out the report read it, and told me I needed to see the captain.  She said "none of these people still work here, and this is not how we document cases now."

This is bad enough, but the San Juan County principal who has made it his mission to see me destroyed has the same last name.  He said the same things about me as were written in this battery report.  When my neighbor succeeded in using physical violence against me, I ws so scared I left and went back to California.

Equity immigration doesn't work from poor states to rich states.  I left California over quality of life issues, crowded, not enough land too much pavement.  As if we can really improve our lives.  Most people who move here cannot leave.  New Mexico will beat you down financially, physically and emotionally, and gloat as you circle the drain.

Farmington boasts of being American's fastest shrinking city. Everywhere in the press the deplorable state of New Mexico, New Mexicans and the patronismo that fuels corruption is news that others use to avoid this state.  What's up New Mexico?  Are you so scared of being a fair, just and productive society that a citizen of the United States cannot safely move here and expect to enjoy the same rights to property ownership and employment that those in less benighted states do?

Guess so.
