But church leaders and immigrant rights advocates disagreed, saying a driver’s license is critical for immigrants living and working in New Mexico, many with U.S.-born children. The push to repeal New Mexico’s law is stirring an anti-immigrant sentiment, they said.

“I think it is about immigration ... it is about divisiveness,” said Santa Fe Mayor David Coss. “We should stop calling people in our community illegal aliens.”

Instead of being a nation of laws supporters want nation a of diverse,”laws. Not U.S. laws.

how about permanent guests? Freeloaders? a pox upon our society? There truly are so many words we can use to describe them why limit ourselves?

They intentionally left the adjective “Illegal” out of the headline - tells me everything I need to know about this paper.

From the Albuquerque Journal yesterday

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

How about we call them trespassers? Maybe the Gov should take a page from obies book and just bypass the legislators and just do whatever she likes? And, what else would you expect from Santa Fe’s mayor?

Former New Mexico dweller. Go HORNETS!

in a bid to stop New Mexico from granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants

The fact that this is even UP for discussion, shows just how screwed up America is fast becoming.

We are nearing the point of no return.
