Tom Mullins won primary after making controversial comment

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) -- The Republican nominee for a New Mexico congressional seat suggested during a radio interview that the United States could place land mines along the Mexican border to secure the international boundary.

Asked Monday to clarify, Tom Mullins emphasized that he does not advocate doing so.

:crazy: I propose a mile wide no mans land with guard towers, land mines and shoot to kill orders. That way, we can combine the best of the DMZ in Korea and the old Berlin Wall. :sarcasm:
