New Mexico -

“The policy of giving driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants, which nearly every other state has repealed or opposed, leads to fraud, human trafficking, organized crime and significant security concerns,”

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/19/us...tntemail1=yGov.

Susana Martinez wants to revoke the current law, allowing licenses to be issued to illegals. She is supported by 72% of voters on this issue.

It was a dumb idea to start with. Now there are a bunch of illegals driving around the US with these so called "licenses". How many do we think are bogus? The only possible good thing about this is that these people should now have a finger print in a data base.

I hope she is able to change the law.

Illegal aliens should never be allowed to get driver's licenses in any state in the US.

You can't be serious with that question. Only citizens and those legally in our country should be able to get a driver's license. I am sure the reasons why this legislation hasn't passed wasn't because the majority of New Mexico's citizens want illegals driving on their roads. The devil is in the details, isn't it?

I'm with you there. It needs to be harder and harder for illegal aliens to survive here and NOT giving driver's licenses is a step in that direction. Illegals and those who help them need to be hassled every step of the way, as long as it's within the law.

Of course there is massive fraud with these licenses. Illegals shouldn't be here, much less be here driving.

No, no. That implies some form of acceptance and we want them to go home. Also, driving without a license is a greater offense in most states, isn't it? It is definitely better to not give them licenses.
