Border - April 19, 2010

Video Poster

Martinez's second television commercial of her 2010 gubernatorial campaign.

MARTINEZ: I’m standing in New Mexico, and on the other side of that fence, it’s the murder capital of the world. When crime spills over, I prosecute.

ANNOUNCER: Susana Martinez for governor.

TODD GARRISON: All candidates talk tough about border security, but Susana—she’s done something about it. She prosecutes members of the most violent Mexican cartels.

MARTINEZ: Criminals take advantage of weak laws, like giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. As governor, that will change.

ANNOUNCER: Susana Martinez for governor. She'll fight for border security. She always has.
