I still don't understand. If a Cal license is acceptable for access to federal facilities, the person that got it had to provide proof of citizenship or is present in the US legally. Is that the case?
In New Mexico, all illegals have to do is provide two proofs of residency (e.g. two utility bills with an address on it, for example) and proof of foreign country birth or, for Mexican citizens, a Mexican Consulate ID card. No other test identifying them as to immigration status is required. And no indication is present on the license as to what ID was presented.
To receive the standard CA license you have to prove citizenship. If you don’t prove citizenship, you get a license with “Federal Limits Apply” on it. That one is not accepted for access to federal facilities.
NM makes no distinction, so there is no way to tell if the holder is a citizen or not.
