House Set to Vote on Repeal of Drivers Licenses to Illegals

From therepublic.com -The New Mexico House is scheduled to vote on a proposal aimed at repealing a state law that allows illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses. The full 70-member House is slated to debate the measure Wednesday after a House panel endorsed it last week. On Friday, the House Judiciary Committee voted 9-6 to endorse the repeal backed by Republican Gov. Susana Martinez. But critics of the proposal predicted that Martinez won't succeed in winning enactment of the legislation because it's likely to fail in the Senate, where Democrats hold a stronger majority than in the House. New Mexico and Washington are the only states that grant driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and others without a Social Security number. Utah issues a special permit allowing immigrants to drive.
