A Senate That Will Do Anything

We heard about a compromise proposal to HB -78. The question begs to be asked…..precisely what was compromised in the Democrat’s version of House Bill 78? The answer is simple. What was compromised was the sacred right to vote of every citizen in New Mexico. Since 2003, those who have successfully slipped past Border Patrol checkpoints in the southern part of the state and taken up residence here have been able to obtain a driver’s license and register to vote. What got lost amidst all of the genuine compassion mixed together with sanctimonious hypocrisy in the Senate yesterday, was the simple fact that the will of the overwhelming majority of New Mexicans was thwarted. Why would the overwhelming majority of citizens care so much? It is because the policy of issuing driver’s licenses to people who are not eligible to vote destroys the value of the legitimate votes of all legal citizens. Why is this important? Because a Senate that will destroy the value of its constituent’s votes is capable of pretty much doing anything.
