N.M. License Data Points to Fraud
The Albuquerque Journal ^ | January 26, 2012 | Barry Massey, AP

Posted on 01/26/2012 9:03:09 AM PST by CedarDave

SANTA FE — An Associated Press investigation has found that addresses of dozens of the same businesses and homes across New Mexico were used over and over again by people to get driver’s licenses in a pattern that suggests potential fraud by immigrants trying to game the system.

In one instance, 48 foreign nationals claimed to live at a smoke shop in Albuquerque to get a license. In another case, more than a dozen claimed to live at an automotive repair shop over a one-year period. The scenario has been repeated at other addresses since New Mexico changed its law in 2003 to allow illegal immigrants to get the same driver’s license as a U.S. citizen — one of just two states allowing that.

Republican Gov. Susana Martinez is pressing the Legislature to scrap the law because of public safety concerns about widespread fraud.

So the little Fascist Holder’s claim of requiring IDs to vote is patently false. As reported here, getting IDs, even counterfeit ones is simple and prolific. But he’s not satisfied with this level of corruption and potential vote fraud, he wants even more.

The system doesn’t kick out applications using the same info as previous applicants?

a pattern that suggests potential fraud

Weenie and equivocal phrase.

It's either "suggests fraud" or it's "potential fraud". Not both in the same phrase.

The country with the most secure voting system, designed by IBM, one that requires a photo ID- Mexico.

THERE FIXED IT Gov. Susana Martinez is pressing the Legislature to scrap the license law because of public safety concerns WRT lawbreakers who cannot read traffic signs and speed limits driving dangerously in the vicinty of innocent families, children, schools, school buses and the like....

......and also about the blatant widespread fraud by foreign nationals who violate our borders and have an utter contempt for US laws.

Apparently not under the Richardson administration. However, at the direction of the Martinez administration, applications are receiving much more scrutiny now. Also, to make it harder for illegals, applications are only accepted at certain locations which have the resources to check on references, etc. The bureaucracy can be used to our advantage, too!

Americans are having their ID’s stolen by illegal immigrants and aided and abetted by their employers. Yet our bought and paid for Congress is fretting about SOPA and PIPA and regulating and censoring the internet just so that Hollywood protects their profits, trash, and porn content.

The NM Catholic Church bigwigs support the poor aliens whose rights will be violated by showing identity.

They participate in marches and protests.

The same august bigwigs are mum, very silent, on the Church’s 50 year nonaction against pediphila priests.
