No, enforcing the law would involve apprehending and deporting illegal aliens, not accommodating them, and treating them as though they have a legal presence. A driver’s license is not a right, it’s a privilege. And, illegal aliens should not have the privilege of driving a car in this country. In fact, they should be denied all privileges reserved for citizens and legal residents.

This must be a terrible blow!

I'm really starting to appreciate the strong minds of the women of the southwest! They really seem to care about the citizens of this country.

That, or a lot of people here will call her a "Repug" or some other sad attempt at name-calling.. this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Only they didn't spend thousands unless it was to the cartel smuggling group that brought them in. The easy NM drivers licenses issued under Richardson cost them next to nothing. They paid far more for fraudulent laser visas and stolen identification papers.

States aren't supposed to override federal immigration laws, even if the federal government is not doing it's job - remember???

When your side condemned a state for adopting immigration laws that are the same as national laws, it's not exactly consistent to insist that states can make laws that aid and abet lawbreakers.
