Revoking Licenses of Illegal Aliens in NM

Susana Martinez

From borderalert.org -One of the first priorities for Governor-elect Susana Martinez is to revoke the thousands of drivers’ licenses which have been issued by New Mexico to illegal aliens in recent years. After Arizona passed SB1070, illegal aliens have been flocking to New Mexico which does not currently require proof of citizenship to obtain a license. Outgoing open-borders advocate, Gov. Bill Richardson, made it worse by passing a law banning DMV clerks from asking an applicant if they are in the country legally.  As a result, New Mexico had become a favorite with human smugglers and those who make their living from selling fraudulent documents. A recent study of the New Mexico DMV found a surge in licenses issued to immigrants (both legal and illegal). In fact, there was a 60 percent increase over  the previous year during a 10-week period following the passage of Arizona’s new immigration law while the number of licenses issued to citizens during that same period did not increase.  More here
