Michelle Malkin has excellent commentary on a Philly.com article looking at the transportation of illegal immigration to New Mexico from New Jersey. Why is it profitable for this illegal transportation across state lines? Due to New Mexico’s almost non-existent requirements to obtain a driver’s license has made New Mexixo the place to get REAL state id’s based on FALSE information. New Mexico doesn’t even require a social security number.
This is all fine and dandy for New Mexico’s Governor Bill Richardson as indicated in the Philly.com article:
“These are foreigners who got into the country using some sort of identification, and clearly were not on some kind of a watch list unless they used fake documents to get into the country,” he said. “These things are complex; it’s good to have a live case here we can all investigate from A to Z and work together to improve the security process.”
New Mexico, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Oregon, Utah and Washington do not require drivers to prove legal status to obtain a license.
In 2003, Gov. Bill Richardson signed a measure into law that allowed foreign nationals , including those living illegally in the country , to obtain a driver’s license. His office has said one of the deciding factors in signing the bill was public safety.
Applicants for a New Mexico driver’s license who don’t have a Social Security number can present identification such as a tax identification number, a foreign passport or a Matricula Consular issued by the Mexican government.
