InformationWeek, and New Mexico Tourism

Be VERY careful in the Gila Wilderness -- my husband and I drove
up that way and hiked at the ruins. The area has incredibly
strange people. Might want to bring your binoculars ... lots of
nude hikers in the area and some times one can spot them from the
roadway. Be absolutely sure that you don't let your gas tank go
below 1/2 a tank while in that area. Great country if it
weren't for all those odd people ... lots, and lots, and lots of
drugheads in the area. I would assume they now have increased
numbers of illegal aliens hiding in the area. Las Cruces to
Alamagordo is a MAJOR drug running area. If you cross over that
way ... at night be careful of illegals on foot crossing the
highways and of course DO NOT help a stranded motorist because
they are more than likely involved in illegal drug trafficking.

Should you travel north up the Gila to Reserve .. gas up for sure
and be ultra careful in the town of Reserve. Lots of ex-felons
from both Arizona and New Mexico live in Reserve. High numbers
of sex offenders, druggies, and a combination of them who have
firearms that they often use to threaten folks with.

Have a wonderful vacation in lovely New Mexico!

Many of the people critical of the current H-1B program advocate
curtailing it significantly, or doing away with it altogether,
in favor of a plan that puts qualified foreign technology workers
on a fast track for permanent residency without tying sponsorship
to a particular employer. This would eliminate the possibility of
exploitation of the visa holder, while making it more likely
that wages would be competitive.
