New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson said yesterday that he has not seen the Bush administration make progress on U.S.-Mexico border security and that is why he declared an emergency in four border counties this week.
"I respectfully disagree with the Department of Homeland Security. The border in New Mexico is porous," Mr. Richardson said on ABC's "This Week" program. "I don't see the dramatic progress they are citing in my border, and that's why I acted."
