That means people won't be able to use a
driver's license as an ID at airports across the country. Officials say that is
because New Mexico
issues licenses to illegal immigrants.
According to state officials, if the act
goes into effect, residents will have to use a passport or military ID at
airports and federal facilities.
Sen. Tom Udall says many states, including New Mexico , will not be
in full compliance with the REAL ID act by the Jan. 15 deadline. He says we faced a similar situation in 2011
and the deadline was extended. He expects DHS to make similar accommodations
again.
