Border Patrol to add 265 agents to New Mexico

SANTA FE, NM The Border Patrol plans to add 265 permanent agents to New Mexico beginning next year.

That word today from Governor Bill Richardson's office.

The Border Patrol is adding 185 agents at its Deming and Lordsburg stations, plus 80 in Alamogordo and Las Cruces.

Richardson declared a state of emergency on New Mexico's border in August.

That freed state money for local governments and law enforcement to cope with what's been described as increasing crime and problems related to illegal immigration.
