SANTA FE – New Mexico is making it easier for residents to obtain a basic driver’s license that is recognized by state agencies and private businesses but will not be valid for commercial airline travel starting in October 2020, taxation and motor vehicle officials announced Tuesday.“New Mexicans do not have to provide a Social Security number or any other federal identification number, and they do not have to provide proof of lawful immigration status for a standard license,” the Taxation and Revenue Department said in a statement.

This isn't really new. It has been pretty much that way since Gov. Bill Richardson and his corrupt cronies in the Legislature mandated ~12 years ago that illegal aliens could get drivers licenses and register to vote via 'Motor Voter' at the same time.
Susana Martinez tried to reverse it when she was governor, but the leftist Legislature LIKES the illegal alien vote, and blocked her attempt to reverse it..

The intent is for illegals to be able to get them, clearly.

These idiots are giving away our birthright which is citizenship in the greatest country ever. Isn't there a federal lawsuit in here waiting to come out?

FTA: not be valid for commercial airline travel starting in October 2020, taxation and motor vehicle officials announced Tuesday.
OK to tax licenses but not a valid ID, so they can't fly.

Maybe a federal court with some wise men and women will order the state to invalidate those licenses and order any illegals purged from the voter roles. With supervision by the court and stiff penalties for non-compliance. Hold the governor personally accountable.

My small southern city has a large population of Mexicans. Illegals can't get a driver's license but that doesn't stop them from driving drunk and without a valid license. Fortunately, voter ID is enforced. Because it is, Stacey Abrams and the Dems cry 'voter suppression'. The Democrat Party is now a criminal enterprise. God help us if they should ever get total control.

Can't get the illiegal aliens registered to vote (illegally) without their (illegal) driver's license......so they make up a special "low grade, illegals only" version of the DL.
Will it say "Illegal Alien Driving License" on the front?

Do they have to be able to drive a vehicle competently to get a license? Probably no.

Lived in New Mexico for three years. When i moved there, my auto insurance company told me "We STRONGLY recommend you obtain coverage for accidents with uninsured motorists. Very strongly!" Other folks who were already living there gave me the same advice, even more forcefully, in fact!
Unfortunately, Governor Martinez was fighting against a strong current.

So the illegals cannot use the new license as ID to get on an airliner, but can they use it to VOTE?
THAT is the QUESTION!
My money says that, when Voting Day comes, that they WILL use it to vote.....for the 'Rats of course!

This could be tough on the millions of illegal aliens you see hanging around airports, trying to hitch a ride back to the hellhole they came from to create one here.

Governor Martinez always opposed this because she knew what would happen. The leftist whacko we have now, Lujan Grisham, welcomes illegals.
