The state of New Mexico has issued an estimated 30,000 driver's licenses to foreign nationals, requiring them to present only one form of identification such as a card issued by the Mexican consulate.
And the Richardson administration has fought tooth and nail to keep from providing a list of those licenses to state Republican Party officials who want to cross-check them against the rolls of registered voters.
The GOP argument is that the licenses, which aren't distinguishable from those issued to citizens, can be used as identification to register to vote— which non-citizens are not allowed to do.
So far, the state is winning the legal fight.

District Judge Valerie Mackie Huling of Albuquerque ruled recently that state and federal anti-stalking laws trumped public records arguments and the GOP's attempt to make sure non-citizens aren't voting.

In response to the request for documents used in the audit, Taxation and Revenue turned over some heavily redacted material and claimed the rest was exempt from disclosure because of executive privilege. Huling upheld the denial, ruling the state didn't have to turn over internal memos generated by department employees under the principle of executive privilege.

"Secondly, executive privilege is usually defined as involving the chief executive's closest advisers. This opens it up to every employee in the state." Patrick Rogers, a former president of FOG who also has represented the Republican Party in court, described it as "the most expansive claim of executive privilege that has ever been made."

THIS is the man who wants to be POTUS!
If there is any doubt that Richardson and the democrat legislature of NM have turned this state into Richardson's personal fiefdom, this should be convincing to anyone.
If you want on or off the NM Ping list, please FReepmail me.
“THIS is the man who wants to be POTUS!”
Just another of the scum sucking leftists that want to be POTUS. And, if it takes illegal alien votes to make it happen, so be it.
Thanks

Ping to a NM outrage.
Printed, folded and inserted into my copy of “Domestic Enemies”. This is truly frightening, the brazeness with which these criminals corrupt our political system. We are becoming Mexico, with all of its squalid trappings.
This is what happens when affirmative actions is compounded. Richardson was a no-account flake. Now he’s got a no-account flake working for his state. Combined they can turn a state on it’s head.
Clinton had his Fahmy Malick, that Department of Transportation guy, and his state troopers.
I wonder what the people of New Mexico think about this.
Well, here's one who is mad as hell - as I posted earlier, I feel like I'm living in a banana republic!
I just came from a madrassa run schools tread... and it’s quite evident we all are my friend.
This nation of ours is imploding, and the only ones who could deny it, are those who blindly support what this nation is becoming.
It bears NOTHING remotely resembling what our founding fathers wanted it to be, or for that matter what solid citizens today want it to be.
I think it shows real moxie to keep the license rolls and the voter rolls separate. If undocumented hard working folks who are willing to come here and cast the Democrat votes Americans are unwilling to cast, they and their families should be encouraged to walk across the border and just move the heck in! In fact, The New Mexico State Police, a largely Hispanic organization, should drive Welcome Wagons to the border, so these wonderful folks can get a NMDL immediately, and of course be immediately registered to vote, as is their divine right in Northern Occupied Mexico, aka Aztlán.
Imagine the chaos that could ensue if goodhearted, if undocumented, folks, some of whom are actual living persons, should be purged from the voter rolls of ....O say .... California. That populous state and its many electoral votes might go .... gasp ... Republican. The California Legislature might change dramatically, even.
Of course, given the attention the RNC and Republican office holders pay to voter fraud, there is absolutely no danger of that happening anywhere.
I, for one, am not surprised. His railroad fiasco is nothing. I knew that corruption was a norm in NM before I moved here two and a half years ago. I just can’t beleive the public attitude about it...not one single native I talk to seems to care. Some even pride themselves on it. I can’t wait to get my family out of here and back to Idaho. At least we will hold our candidates responsible (yes, I voted for Craig in all elections I could - now I want him out).
New mexico....sonn to be known as plain old mexico...
A few years ago, some congressman from there offered a bill to change the state's name to Nuevo Mexico. Yeah, probably just pandering to the Hispanics, but still . . . Wish I could remember his name, but hopefully, he's outta there.
He's probably still there...it seems as though the only way to get rid of them is to throw them in the pen.
As another Idaho native exiled in NM, I feel your pain. I miss public officials and voters who aren't afraid to follow their ethics and conscience.
NM wasn't the only state who was giving licenses to illegals. I know that TN was. Once they got a drivers license they could register to vote not only in those states, but they could also travel to other states, obtain a license there and vote in that state too. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some voted in several states. It's criminal, and anyone who helps them is a criminal. That means this judge and Richardson too.
Thanks. ANOTHER New Mexico disgrace. This makes me sick to my stomach. The total Third-worldization of an American state, with Latin corruption, crony-ism, corruption, pay-offs and whole shebang, with Richardson as “el patron.” James Michener described this process in his book about Texas 20 years ago.
I see Bill R., Bill Clintons mexican pimp is at it again.
