Growing intolerance in neighboring state drew many in 2010, but here they faced a less vibrant economy By Uriel J. Garcia The New Mexican

LOCAL, A-10

After Arizona passed one of the strictest anti-immigration laws in the country in 2010, Rubi Castillo and her family felt they could no longer live in the state they had called home for 18 years since moving from Mexico. She closed the successful beauty salon she had opened in Phoenix a year earlier, and the family moved east, to New Mexico. But less than six months later, they returned to Arizona. The reason: New Mexico provided a friendlier environment for immigrants but not the same chances for economic success as Arizona, even with its anti-immigration policies. “I just felt like I wasn’t going to be able to get ahead [in Albuquerque],” said Castillo, 29. The Castillos are among hundreds of immigrants who are believed to have come to New Mexico from Arizona after it passed SB 1070, a law that required immigrants to carry their immigration documents with them at all times and allowed police officers to request those documents during any routine stop.

For almost three decades, The New Mexican has written about people in our community who make a difference. ¶ The tradition started in 1985 in an effort to honor those who give their time and energy with little or no compensation. In past years, The New Mexican has published the stories of these volunteers in a special section. This year, we tell about them in a series starting today through Dec. 8. ¶ Today we feature Narciso Quintana, a longtime Nambé community member who sits on the acequia commission and has volunteered to coach youth sports. In the coming days, readers will hear about a woman who has created and then given away thousands of quilts; a veteran who is working for peace in Santa Fe and the Middle East; a man who has inspired hundreds of children to get outside and run; a woman who advocates for the most ostracized among us; and a professional golfer who started a diabetes foundation to help the next generation stay healthy; as well as others. ¶ On this Thanksgiving, we tell these stories to honor all our readers who work to make our world a better place. ¶ Today’s story begins on Page A-10. A list of past winners is on Page A-11.

Downtown merchants interviewed Wednesday said they were disappointed by a judge’s decision to dismiss their complaint against the city over commercial events on the Plaza. Many shop owners say the city permits too many such events and that the events discourage people from shopping at local businesses. The merchants would like some moved off the Plaza. In a suit filed in 2012, the Santa Fe Downtown Merchants Association charged that the city was not

What Americans think they know about the history of Thanksgiving doesn’t always square with the truth. For example, it is generally believed that in 1621, the Pilgrims invited Wampanoag Indians to a feast in Plymouth Colony to celebrate their first harvest — and a good time,
