New Mexico’s Governor Plans To Revoke Licenses Issued To Illegal Aliens

New Mexico’s newly elected Gov. Susana Martinez has come out swinging with a budget proposal that would cut spending and close the budget deficit without raising taxes or making cuts to classroom spending or health care for New Mexico’s most vulnerable.

Martinez also stated one of her first priorities is to revoke driver licenses issued to illegal aliens, pointing out since Arizona passed SB 1070, illegal aliens have been pouring in to New Mexico, which does not require proof of citizenship to obtain licenses.

Former Gov. Bill Richardson, an open borders advocate, further exacerbated the problem by banning Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) clerks from asking applicants if they were legally present.

New Mexico and a smattering of a few other states, which allow illegal aliens to obtain driver licenses, have become Meccas for human smugglers and those in the fraudulent ID business.

I have a better idea tell them it's time to renew their licenses and deport them when they show up.

Good for her! Bill Richardson is a moron!

But don't we have a "don't ask, don't tell" attitude when it comes to asking about someone's citizenship status? (Sarcasm)

Maybe they should start in Wicomico and Sussex counties for all the illegals who work in the chicken plants! 10:08 great idea

We need their slave labor so we can pay them less then minimum wage. Who cares if they don't pay taxes we will just make the rich pay more who will just pass it on to the consumer which is US!

10:43, that is a crock. We "need" illegals because we have a group of individuals that feel that they are "too good" to do the work that these individuals do. I don't agree with illegal immigration on any level, and I think we should seal our border and try to deport as many illegals as possible. I also think there is a way to improve the unemployment rate AND get people off the welfare rolls (or at least reduce the amount being paid out in welfare), however, it is common sense, so therefore will probably not make it on to any politician's radar.

Susana Martinez is a Republican and the first female governor of New Mexico,as well as the first Latina (Hispanic woman) governor in the United States.

Bill Richardson is a Democrat who's mother, María Luisa López-Collada Márquez is the Mexican daughter of a Spanish father from Villaviciosa, Asturias, Spain and a Mexican mother and was his father's secretary.

It's apparent she see's the effect illegals have on our economy and jobs. Bill sees Democratic votes.

I say put the ones that they are to good to do the work of illegals is to take them off unemployment, public assistance and other Government programs after 13 weeks. If they choose to not take a lower wage job or look for a job properly, then they are put to work for the companies that hire illegals and green cards. This way they will earn their Public assistance of any kind and the Government can give the Companies a tax break. They will also be required for urinalysis at any time If they get fired then they lose their Public assistance. Public assistance already pay their health, education, housing utilities, food, cigaretts, alchol, nice cars / suvs and what ever else they want so it would not cost the companies any extra but the training and get a tax break. That would be putting America back to work and driving illegals back to where they came from plus cutting the budget because we would not be supporting these extra addons we get from illegals. As for as anchor babies, only mother, father brother and sister allowed in for citizenship status. All others are illegals.

3:32, I'm 11:28, and that was along the lines of what I was thinking of doing. However, it makes too much sense, so therefore, the government will never go for it.

You Europeans are the illegal aliens. If you look at us
"illegal" Mexicans we are descendants of native Americans and the only ones who have any right to be here. There are millions of us here now with many millions more coming to take back our land. Hope you land stealing bitches can swim cause its a long way to Europe after we revoke your drivers license and sweep you from OUR land.

Just remember, *some* Mexicans are Native Americans that intermarried with the Spanish European "illegal aliens." So, using your logic, wouldn't Mexicans at some level be as illegal as the "Europeans" that you are crucifying? After all, they are part European. By the way, I am part Native American myself, with a generous measure of European ancestry.

Are Mexicans descendants of Asians?

You are right.
in fact, all of humanity is descended from africa. African man moved into asia, then some of us moved towards europe, and others moved towards western reaches of russia and some towards australia.
at the end of asian continent, ie at the Bering Strait, there was no sea as there is today, separating north america from asia. but there was a bridge (probably ice), so early humans could cross to the new lands, and continue to populate the lands of north and south americas.

You most probably are the descendant of the indigenous mexican people, what cedie meant was the people of Philippines being descended from Spanish colonialists. but such people are comparatively less n numbers as compared to the indigenous people of mexico.

There are great articles on this topic over the net like these, but i can't find the one i'm looking for, it's about the dna mapping of all humans to point out the course of the great migration....

Yes, but look at us "illegals". 99% of us have kept our native American heritage 100% pure. Rape is one thing but consenting to breeding with the enemy is never a good thing. Anyone of Native American heritage knows that Europeans are the enemy who who practiced genocide on our ancestors, stole our land and imposed their will on us. We want our land & ways back and to heal the planet by our natural old ways. Someone can be mixed with white and still know that the European is our enemy, but if they give any legitimacy to the Europeans rape of our ancestors and theft our land they can turn in their Indian card because they are a traitor to Native Americans and have sided with the enemy! Look, Jews had their Hitler. We Native Americans have Cortez, Washington, Jackson, Grant, Sherman, Roosevelt, Custer and too many other criminal trespassing European devils to name in this forum.

I pay homage to Crazy Horse. A great real American hero who would DIE before he would be helper, and apologist for the devil. He is the REAL meaning of the words "give me freedom or give me death!"

If we need cheap labor that badly I say we look at all the people sitting in prison not earning their keep. If they want to eat they work. No work NO FOOD.

No, it is not. That has recently been disproven. Blows your meager argument out of the water before you even start.

Please try to get current.

Which 'group' would that be?

And what, pray tell, would your 'common sense' solution be?

So you support forcing people to take less money than they are entitled to? And if they do accept your big hearted idea of accepting lower wages than they are entitled to, wouldn't that end any assistance they may be receiving?

And to top it off, give companies a tax break to lower the tax base?

Please never, NEVER, run for office.

Unless things have changed, which they may have, you couldn't buy cigs, alcohol or anything else with food stamps.

Surely you don't mean unemployment payments or any other cash payments to the needy?

Even if you were, you want them to miss their rent payment, car payment or any other payment they may have?

So that would mean you would want them homeless, no transportation etc?

Not a very good solution if you ask me.

Thanks for the history lesson but I believe it is flawed. You need to expound on your theory. I find it lacking in any proof or logic.

Can anyone else see the irony in that statement? If this land wasn't 'american', how could an indian/mexican be called an amercian?

Explain please.

Yeah that's the ticket. Make slave out of the inmates. However, the supreme court might disagree since they have stated people go to prison AS punishment, not FOR punishment.

Can you see the difference?

Closing borders isnt the answer people should be able to visit and travel freely however if they plan to stay and work they should be naturalized and be able to read write and speak ENGLISH and also pay a larger tax percentage for a given amount of time. The people that hire the illegals and that get caught should face hefty fines or imprisonment plain and simple. Also people that provide housing to illegals should be subject to fines or imprisonment or be subject to forfeiture of the property.
