Santa Fe – On Tuesday night, members of the House GOP joined with 7 Democrats, and one Independent, to make sure New Mexicans finally get what they want. On a procedural move, the House voted to deny watered-down changes to House Bill 78 added by the Senate. When HB 78 passed out of the House, it required a social security number for any New Mexican to get a driver’s license. While in the Senate, changes to HB 78 took away the social security requirement, continuing the practice of giving drivers licenses to illegal immigrants. A published poll shows over 70% of New Mexicans want the version of HB 78 that was passed out of the House. A message will now be sent to the Senate to agree to the House version of HB 78. If the Senate declines, a conference committee will determine the final version of the bill.
