Albuquerque has a crime problem. Is the national guard the answer?

For critics, President Trump's threat to combat the military to combat crimes and unrest in the cities of America, a nightmare scenario, a pretext for war law and a potential attack on democracy.

From the next month, dozens of troops of the National Guard on the streets of a deeply democratic city, Albuquerque, will be in a deep democratic state, New Mexico. And they are deployed by the state of the state, Michelle Lujan Grisham, a democrat. She said that they had to be needed to help the tense police in a crisis of violent crimes and fentanyc consumption.

“The situation in Albuquerque has achieved an unacceptable crisis,” she said. “We can hardly wait for traditional solutions to become effective.”

Only a few inhabitants of Albuquerque would refuse the scourge of violence in a quarter of the Route 66 halved and are located by dense blocks of car shops, with a migration background. Officially, it is the international district. But many call it the war zone.

The governor's step of installing wax cartridges, which can be seen more often in forest fires, hurricanes and tornados, shared the locals and reflected the wider civil war within the democratic party about crime and disorder. It is already an issue among the Democrats who are trying to follow her in the governor's office in Santa Fe.

Some praised the guard's arrival and said that additional resources could help restore the order before the 100th anniversary of Route 66, will bring thousands of tourists to Albuquerque next year. Critics called it an invasion of a neglected neighborhood that urgently needs better living space and services.
