From therepublic.com - Faith and community groups plan to hold simultaneous candlelight vigils in seven New Mexico cities to voice their support of driver's licenses for illegal immigrants. The vigils are in response to a House vote Friday in which lawmakers voted 42-28 for legislation to stop the state from issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. The vigils will be held at 6 p.m. Monday in Santa Fe, Las Cruces, Hatch, Anthony, Lovington, Roswell and Farmington.  The community group Somos Un Pueblo Unido says they want to "decry the inflammatory and divisive rhetoric surrounding the immigrant driver's license debate."  Eight Democrats broke party ranks in voting for the legislation. They are: Reps. Ray Begaye, Joseph Cervantes, Dona Irwin, Sandra Jeff, Rhonda King, Patricia Lundstrom, Al Park and Debbie Rodella.
