| New Mexico Tribe Demands Legal Residency Proof On Its Lands |
| 2011-11-09 |
| The Tesuque Pueblo Tribal Council has decided to ask all residents of a tribal-owned and paid for mobile home community for proof of U.S. citizenship or proper immigration documentation. Under New Mexico law, illegal immigrants do not have to show they are legally in the U.S. to rent housing. However, tribes have authority over who they permit to live on tribal lands, as long as their housing is not federally funded. They may legally exclude non-tribal persons. |

| #2 Any random grouping can form their own 'tribe.' The trick for any tribe is to sign a treaty with the federal government. By the way, that has to have been done at least a century before anyone now living was born. |
