Condolences to my Governor...

I bring it up here for her stance (some would say "one-horse") during her campaign and afterwards to end New Mexico driver's licenses for "illegals"...

(Note that New Mexico still has that policy in effect, no matter some three attempts from her to change it)

And this:

During her campaign for governor, through last year, that side of the governor's family received some scrutiny. Some speculated that Jake Martinez's [Suzanna Martinez's father] father had entered the U.S. illegally, until the Associated Press located documents to prove he was legally admitted to America and eventually became a citizen.


Jake (the youngest of both of his parent's children) and his siblings were all born in Texas, while his parents (Adolfo Rodriguez Martinez and Francisca Ortega Martinez) were still in "alien" status...

What do you mean by "alien" status? One can be a legal resident alien or an illegal alien.

No surprise that New Mexico allows illegal immigrants to have driver's licenses. New Mexico is saturated with Hispanics.

For that time (Adolfo marked himself as "alien" until at least the 1940 Federal Census, and was working as a taxi driver in El Paso) you had to have applied for "papers" of your intent to naturalize...

I've got quite a few of the documents here...

1940? Are you kidding? How on earth is his death an illegal immigration topic simply because his daughter opposed driver's licenses for illegal aliens?

Meaning that many state and local governments are pandering to Hispanics both legal and illegal especially when there a is high concentration of them in their areas.

The highest concentration of illegal aliens is probably seasonally in Hatch (of chile fame), which was in Representative Andy Nunez's district. He was the one that sponsored the bill to change the driver's license policy. That irony, coupled with Governor Martinez throwing a wrench into the partnership for him being an Independent, compounds in that he then lost the election:

Quote:
“I’m surprised and I’m pissed,” Rep. Nuñez told Capitol Report New Mexico Friday (Oct. 26). “That’s not right,” Nuñez said of the mailer distributed by Reform New Mexico Now. “If anyone helped her out in the last two years, it was me.”

What does this have to do with illegal immigration, and why should anyone outside of this woman's family care that her father is dead?

Do you know anything, even the least little thing, about New Mexico?

Condolences to the Governor.

This topic has nothing to do with illegal immigration as others have stated.
