#5  Ever see a state license plate from NM?

Only one with the state name followed immediately by 'USA'. Experience has shown that your average county mountie doesn't even know there's a state between Texas and Arizona, so why would they treat the driver's license any different than any other foreign country? You're from Mexico right? Oh, here we go again...

#4  Local politicians across New York State immediately lined up to be interviewed saying they were against it, Anguper Hupomosing9418, and half the Dept. of Motor Vehicles clerks announced they would not give licenses to illegals who came to them. We were visiting Buffalo at the time, and I was surprised at how many city and county officials were featured on the 11 p.m. news speaking against Governor Spitzer's plan. Is a similar fuss being made in New Mexico?

#3  Why all the publicity was given to "Spitzer's plan" while none is given to the continuing policy of New Mexico to give driver's licenses to illegals is beyond me.

#1  I knew the name was vaguely familiar, so I had to go read about it. Governor of New York. TO make a long story short(er) -
Mr. SpitzerÂ’s plan touched off a national debate over whether issuing licenses to illegal immigrants would make the state more secure or improperly extend a privilege to them that should be reserved for legal residents.

Opposition to the proposal sent his poll numbers plunging and stalled his broader agenda.
