The claim: none, just listed in FEMA camp location websites.
What it really is: It's the third largest deep geological repository licensed to permanently dispose of transuranic radioactive waste in the world. The storage area is 650 meters below ground and has enough room to continue accepting nuclear waste for another 25 to 35 years.
Simply due to the sheer nature of what is stored here, I would hope the place would be as secured as a maximum security prison.

Sandia National Laboratories, New Mexico
The claim: None, just listed on FEMA camp websites.
What it really is: Sandia National Laboratories is operated by the Sandia Corporation, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Lockheed Martin Corporation. The laboratory's mission is to maintain the reliability and surety of nuclear weapon systems, conduct research and development in arms control and nonproliferation technologies, and investigate methods for the disposal of the United States' nuclear weapons program's hazardous waste, amongst the development of sciences and technology. The laboratory also employes 8,400 people, mainly scientists and engineers.
Due to the lack of information and the unlikeliness that a prison camp would ever be set up at a place like this, the odds of a FEMA camp being here is zero.

Roswell AFB, New Mexico
The claim: No claim made, just listed on FEMA camp websites as a possible location of a FEMA Camp.
What it really is: Actually it was called Walker Air Force Base, and it was closed down in 1967. It has since been redeveloped by civil authorities into the Roswell International Air Center, and Eastern New Mexico University has built a large campus on the west side of the base. Also, many of the old buildings there are being used for private interests, and many other buildings have been torn down since it was closed.
There would be no way to hide a FEMA camp here.

Los Alamos National Laboratory, New Mexico
The claim: None has been listed other then it being on several websites that list locations of alleged FEMA camps.
What it really is: LANL is one of two laboratories in the United States where classified work towards the design of nuclear weapons is undertaken. It also conducts research into other fields as well, such as national security, space exploration, renewable energy, medicine, nanotechnology, and supercomputing. LANL has over 9,000 employees working for it, as well as 650 contractor personnel and 120 Department of Energy personnel to provide federal oversight of LANL's work and operations. Professional scientists and students also come to Los Alamos as visitors to participate in scientific projects. The staff collaborates with universities and industry in both basic and applied research to develop resources for the future.
Taking all of this into account if FEMA camps were real, it seems highly unlikely that they would be set up at LANL (it just doesn't make any sense to place a prison where the nation's most high tech military technology is developed, because if a prison riot was ever to to occur there is just to much of a chance the lab would get taken over). Plus, due to the sheer fact that no information even exists at all about this alleged FEMA camp leads me to believe that this location is entirely made up.

Kirtland AFB/Kirtland Underground Munitions Storage Complex, New Mexico
The claim: None that I can find, it's just listed as a possible location.
What it really is: The lack of any "information" makes me believe that this was picked simply because it's a well known military base.
Perhaps the reason why the claim is being made is because of the large amount of military aircraft and personal there, or the fact the it's in the middle of the dessert, or the fact that it's a testing site, or the fact that the Nuclear Weapons Center, and that around 2,000 nuclear weapons are stored there.
Regardless, the lack of any solid, or even loose claims, shows that this location was made-up simply because it is a high profiled military base.

White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico
The claim: Currently being used as a storage facility
for United Nations vehicles and equipment. Observers have seen this material
brought in on the Whitesands rail spur in Oro Grande New Mexico about thirty
miles from the Texas, New Mexico Border.
What it really is: White Sands Missile Range is the largest military base in the United States and is used as the military's and NASA's primary rocket range, and is the site for the Orion Project Launch Abort Flight Test Complex. Several areas there are also National Historic Landmarks and Sites, thus open to the public.
So far there is no evidence at all to confirm that any vehicles or equipment used by the United Nations is being stored there, and these claims go back at least as far as 1999 from what I have found. In fact it's the exact same claim, word by word.
Also, Oro Grande (spelled Orogrande) does not have any rail going through it, and is very small (it has only around 50 people).

Lordsburg, New Mexico
The claim: Not a great deal of information concerning the Lordsburg
location.
What it really is: The place did once have a Japanese internment camp, but it was closed in 1943. It was later reopened and used as a German and Italian POW camp from 1943 to 1945. The facility was closed down entirely in 1946. Currently the only thing that is left of the camp is concrete rubble.

Fort Stanton, New Mexico
The claim: currently
being used as a youth detention facility approximately 35 miles north of
Ruidoso, New Mexico.
What it really is: Fort Stanton is neither used as a youth detention facility, nor is it north of Ruidoso. It's actually south-east of Ruidoso.
The fort is now an historical site, and is no longer used by the military, although it was used at one time to intern German POWs.
Currently it is a popular site for military reenactments and recreational horse riding.

Holloman AFB (Alomogordo), New Mexico
The claim: Home of the German Luftwaffe
in Amerika; major UN base. New facility being built on this base, according to
recent visitors. Many former USAF buildings have been torn down by the busy and
rapidly growing German military force located here.
What it really is: The claim about the German Luftwaffe being there is in fact true, and they do have their own training tactical center (which was established in May 1996) but the Luftwaffe uses the space as a training facility only. This information is publicly known. There are about 600 German personnel there as of 2007, but these numbers can either increase to as much as 900, or decrease, depending on the actual training needs.
While NATO allies have been offered to use the base for training, the UN has not, and there is UN troop presence there at all.
It wouldn't surprise me if many of the buildings have been torn down and replaced, as the base has been around since World War 2, and many old buildings from that era tend to need to be replaced from time to time, plus many of the most modern and high tech air craft of the air force are flown out from there, and thus there is a need for modern and high tech buildings to support these aircraft, and in many cases it is just more cost effective to replace rather then upgrade these building (sometimes it's the only thing that can be done).

Ft. Bliss, New Mexico
The claim: This base actually straddles Texas state line. Just
south of Alomogordo, Ft. Bliss has thousands of acres for people who refuse to
go with the "New Order".
What it really is: The base does not straddle the Texas state line. In fact a large part of the base is in Texas.
The base is in fact the second largest army base in the United States, as well as one of the oldest. Despite it's sheer size and location, it doesn't mean that it will be used for some sort of interment camp, and of course the claim never says there is an actual prison camp there. There are also lots of civilian activities that can be done there as well.
