More Surprises: New Mexico IS SO in America, too

Jackie Montgomery treatie, below, presents irrefutable evidence that New Mexico is part of U.S. of A
Comments re article 44000 Reader maintains that Arizona is so in America

By Jackie Montgomery

The New Mexico Magazine has a regular feature which is filled each month of each year with stories of New Mexicans whose US citizenship is called in question ("Sorry, we don't offer that service to Mexico") by everybody from travel agents, telephone services, follicle-challenged attention hounds, and plenty of folks one would imagine would have looked up from their shoelace struggles or other distractions with wonder at this magnificent state which includes one quarter of the Four Corners, where a kid can be in four states at one moment; famous outlaws--Billy the Kid ; famous Native American leaders --Chiricahua Apache Geronimo; forts and calvary and battles; and of course the distinction of telling those know-it-alls that a New Mexico birth certificate (although issued bilingually in English and Spanish) is SO proof of US citizenship! -Jackie Montgomery

Thanks Jacqueline Montgomery. And I take these people can vote, travel freely across the country, and get obese at any fast food in these United States. I had sort of known about this. I remember crossing the border in my dad's magnificent 1952 Powerglide Chevrolet, near Clovis, NM, and we were not strip searched, no guns were drawn on us; and there were no uniformed thugs in one way dark shades interrogating us. The natives were very friendly, though we stuck closest to Adair County kinfolks there. -EW
