Tennessee was wise several years ago to stop issuing driver's licenses to illegal aliens, and a recent incident in New Mexico shows why.
New Mexico and Washington state still give licenses to illegal aliens, and that has led to massive fraud.
The Associated Press reports that certain home and business addresses in New Mexico have been used by dozens of illegal aliens, many apparently from out of state, to obtain driver's licenses. In one case, almost 50 foreign nationals said they lived at a particular smoke shop in Albuquerque, in order to obtain a license.
Those licenses confer on illegal aliens a false legitimacy, and allow them to do things such as board airplanes, get licenses in other states and conduct financial transactions.
Now, New Mexico's governor wants the law that lets illegal aliens get driver's licenses to be repealed.
Better late than never.
