You have to hand it to Gov. Susana Martinez (R-NM): she does NOT back down. This tough former D.A. seems to have inherited her tenacity from her father - a former Sheriff and boxer who won three straight Golden Gloves titles in the 1950s. Her adversaries underestimate her at their peril.
And when her Democrat adversaries blocked her fight to stop issuing drivers' licenses to illegal aliens last Winter, she tried again in March. SWA members turned out tons of phone calls and emails, and remarkably Martinez managed to pass it through the House on March 4. But Senate Democrats then quietly killed the the bill late on a Friday night on March 19th. They thought the matter was closed for the year, as is usually the case. But Susana Martinez is not your "usual" politician.
New Mexico is one of only two states that grants driver's licenses to people regardless of immigration status. The law - created in 2003 under her predecessor, Democrat Bill Richardson - has made New Mexico a magnet for illegal aliens “who want to receive a valid United States ID and travel freely around the country,” Martinez noted. Thus this disgraceful law not only rewards illegal aliens, but also gives potential terrorists an easy gateway to establish themselves in ANY state to help plan an attack.
And Martinez is determined to put a stop to it. "I will continue to fight to fulfill the promises I made to New Mexicans," she said after the bill's defeat. And fight she did.
EXCERPT...READ THE REST HERE
Despite going to that linked blog, I didn’t find the excerpted story but a different one. Please post a real link to the actual story. Thanks.
Where’s the rest of the story about N.M. govenor fighting the driver’s license bill?
Your link only goes to the AZ bill facebook page.
Couldn’t find the rest of the story.....
Ok, the top link went to the story, the “Read the rest HERE” link is a different article. Got it figured out, thanks!
Another example of Conservative women hung with Equipment.
Gov. Martinez is the real deal. She is a fighter and real conservative. She will do wonders for NM and then on to the Nation. Denco
Hit the “StandWithArizona” link at top, I had the same problem.
This chick ain’t like Perry is she. In Texas the leader in fighting the illegal alien invasion is also a Martinez must be the name.
GREAT NEWS!
GO MARTINEZ!
Good for the governor. We need more like her.
A Dem who gets it , at least on this issue?
I don’t believe it!
As long and they don’t come here.
Gov. Susana Martinez (R-NM)
Obviously Martinez is racist against Latinos!!!11! /sarc
NM: Gov. Martinez’ License Residency Check Causes Illegal Aliens to Panic
Fixed
No, no, she’s not like Perry. I had never even heard of Governor Martinez, but I like what I’m seeing. Per the rest of the article (for anyone who hasn’t read), she is requiring several thousand foreign Nationals to show up in person with documents, or have their licenses revoked. One of the commenters on the link said “Yet another woman having to stand up.” I agree, where are the rest of the men?
The problems in this country are simple, but no one wants to do anything about it. I understand the feeling, but now is the time to keep warning our neighbors of the dangers we face, for it behooveth every man who has been warned to warn his neighbor. It’s time to be vocal and spread the word. Glenn Beck did/does a lot on that end, and we need more people to do the same. It’s time to wake up everyone who can be woken up, and stand united.
Thanks for the fixed links!
That's right. To paraphrase: The Republicans have advangates. They bring public opinion with them. They bring enough votes to block the spending bills. They bring the ideological advantage. But while the Republicans bring all these advantages, they also bring themselves. And that's an advantage for the Democrats that overwhelms all Republican advantages.
