"One Republican running in her party’s primary for governor this year, Susana Martinez, a southern New Mexico prosecutor, has filmed a commercial promoting border security and a promise to revoke the law granting driver’s licenses to illegal immigrants and deny taxpayer-supported scholarships to illegal immigrants." --New York Times, 5/11

During my time working for the state of NM, I worked in Internal Audit for Tax and Rev. I worked to verify the information given to the DMVs regarding the foreign citizenship of those immigrants applying for driver's licenses. There were serious consequences for anyone caught committing a fraud about their identity!
ReplyDeleteThese driver's licenses weren't just handed out to any applicant. The state of NM takes this licensing VERY seriously!
It's important to have all drivers on NM's road licensed and insured! I was proud to be a part of the process. Tax and Rev does a FANTASTIC job!
