NM Gov Seeks to Limit Driver’s License Eligibility

New Mexico is one of two states (Washington is the other) that allows undocumented immigrants to be eligible for a driver’s license. Repbublican Governor Susana Martinez aims to change that. For details, read Marc Lacey’s story in the N.Y. Times.

The Governor campaigned on the driver’s license issue and has taken a number of steps to tighten various requirements for foreign nationals to secure a license, one of which is the subject of a suit brought by the Mexican American Legal Defense & Educational Fund (MALDEF).
