ILLEGAL ALIEN DRIVER’S LICENSES IN THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT

“DON’T LET NEW MEXICO BE THE NEXT ARIZONA - STOP GOVERNOR MARTINEZ” is the headline on a “Send a Message” action page, on the website called “America’s Voice.”

Emblazoned on the page is a photo of New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, who has run afoul of the Open Borders lobby for attempting to – can you believe this? – deny driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.

Why should this even be controversial? Why do both sides in the illegal immigration dispute regard driver’s licenses as important?

In the U.S.A., a driver’s license is an important piece of identification. More than simply a permission to operate a motor vehicle, the driver’s license is our major form of identification in daily life. American citizens are often asked to show ID, and the ID they usually present is the driver’s license. People use them to cash checks, to prove their age, and to vote.

Driver’s licenses are utilized to obtain other documents. Once you have a driver’s license, obtaining other ID is not too difficult.

Some have amassed veritable collections of driver’s licenses. Ten years ago, the 9/11 terrorists held, among all 19 of them, a whopping 63 driver’s licenses from various states.

In California, the issue of licenses for illegals has been a perennial one in the state legislature, with legislator Gil Cedillo having introduced legislation nine times to get licenses approved for illegal aliens. Cedillo hasn’t been successful – yet.

In the border state of New Mexico – called “The Land of Enchantment” - this issue was on the front burner when the state’s new governor made an effort to change the law and stop issuing licenses to illegal aliens. She was stymied by – surprise, surprise – an activist judge. And since the governor of the state is a Republican woman of Mexican ancestry, her family history has already become an issue.

On January 1st, 2011, Susana Martinez became governor of New Mexico, touted as the state’s first woman governor and the nation’s first female Hispanic governor.

During the 2010 gubernatorial campaign, Candidate Martinez had accused then-governor Bill Richardson of presiding over a “sanctuary” illegal immigration policy. She promised to try to repeal the Richardson law allowing illegal aliens to get driver’s licenses.

As governor, Susana Martinez got off to a good start. On January 31st, she signed an executive order, revoking a previous executive order by previous governor Bill Richardson. The Richardson order had forbidden police from inquiring as to immigration status. The new Martinez order allows police to investigate immigration status of those arrested for crimes.

Governor Martinez explained the situation thusly: "This order takes the handcuffs off of New Mexico's law enforcement officers in their mission to keep our communities safe. The criminal justice system should have the authority to determine the immigration status of all criminals, regardless of race or ethnicity, and report illegal immigrants who commit crimes to federal authorities."

It was a step in the right direction, though falling far short of neighboring Arizona’s SB 1070. But for the open borders lobby it was still too much. Peter Simonson, ACLU chief in New Mexico, said that "This executive order invites racial profiling by giving an incentive to police to arrest people who look and sound 'foreign.' New Mexicans should not have to fear that a broken taillight or other pretextual stop will lead to their arrest because of the color of their skin.”

Hold it right there! White American middle class people are stopped constantly for minor traffic violations, and when this happens they run their license through the computer and check their background. It happened to me. Why is this only a problem when it happens to minorities and illegal aliens?

That leads us directly to the driver’s license issue. If only citizens and legal residents have driver’s licenses, that makes it very easy for any person detained for a traffic violation to prove his legality. Which means that the people who scream about profiling ought to be in favor of only issuing licenses to legal residents. Unless of course their real goal is not to fight “profiling” but to encourage illegal immigration.

As a new governor, the driver’s license change was among Susana Martinez´top priorities.

According to the Sonoran News “Martinez also stated one of her first priorities is to revoke driver licenses issued to illegal aliens, pointing out since Arizona passed SB 1070, illegal aliens have been pouring in to New Mexico, which does not require proof of citizenship to obtain licenses.”

Here again is more proof of the efficacy of Arizona’s SB 1070 – illegals were leaving Arizona and heading east to New Mexico.

Under Bill Richardson, the previous governor, DMV clerks were forbidden from inquiring as to immigration status. So not surprisingly, New Mexico became a go-to state for the fraudulent ID industry.

Statistics even indicate that after SB 1070 was passed in neighboring Arizona, in New Mexico there was a 60% increase in the first half of 2010 of licenses issued to foreign-born applicants (including both legals and illegals). Were some of these applicants illegals running from Arizona?

When illegal immigration is winked at, identity fraud is almost certain to increase.

As one example, there was the indictment of three Chinese fraudsters operating out of Albuquerque. What these guys did was put ads in New York City Chinese language newspapers, advertising New Mexico driver’s licenses. Immigrants residing in New York City would fly out to Albuquerque, get their driver’s licenses, and fly back to New York. They didn’t even wait around for the actual licenses, which were mailed to their phony Albuquerque address and forwarded to New York.

Governor Martinez used it as an opportunity to explain why this is a problem: "We have long known of fraud and abuse in our driver's license system and these latest indictments make it clear that we must address (the) problem. We are attracting criminals to our state who exploit our driver's license policy and threaten the safety and security of all New Mexicans."

Governor Martinez, as a Mexican-descended American citizen, was a target due to her ancestry, with her own family background becoming a part of the controversy.

It was reported that Susana Martinez was descended from illegal aliens herself, and she admitted this.

The governor and her spokesman acknowledged that her paternal grandfather was an illegal alien. (This grandfather abandoned his family when his son – future father of Susana – was about five, so she didn’t even meet him). She also said that a pair of her maternal great-grandparents were illegal aliens.

Nevertheless, Governor Martinez doesn’t use her family history as a justification to excuse fraud and lawbreaking, as do many Hispanic politicians.

Her opponents, however, say her ancestry requires her to just drop the whole thing.

Brent Wilkes, LULAC (League of United Latin American Citizens) chief, chided the governor, saying that "Her grandparents shared the same story of many undocumented people. It's a sad day that the governor has chosen to turn her back on the same sacrifices she has benefited from. This is not the governor's finest hour.”

Protestors bore pictures of the Governor at a rally, with a placard that asked "Dear Susana. Do you know your history? Did you forget your roots?"

(More recently, however, it was announced that the governor had some research done that revealed that her paternal grandparents weren’t illegal aliens after all.)

In August, Governor Martinez issued an executive order. Now mind you, this order was not to deny licenses to illegal aliens. It was an order for the state to reverify driver’s licenses issued to foreigners, to verify – not that they are legal residents – but just that they are physically residing in New Mexico.

Of course, that was too much for MALDEF (Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund), which sued.

On August 31st in Santa Fe, District Court Judge Sarah Singleton, a Richardson appointee, handed down a temporary restraining order blocking the order. Her justification was that the order could cause “constitutional deprivations to the applicants,” resulting in “irreparable injury.”

How can foreigners be “constitutionally deprived” by the simple fact of their residence being verified?

MALDEF was glad about the ruling, and Martha Gomez, the group’s staff attorney, had the gall to say that "MALDEF will continue to fight throughout this legal process to obtain a final end to this licensing scheme and to restore the rule of law.”

On September 13th, Judge Singleton had another ruling. As reported in the Santa Fe New Mexican: “District Judge Sarah Singleton …. decided that some residency checks can continue, although she's putting on hold the administration's broad plan for potentially certifying the licenses of tens of thousands of foreign nationals, including those living illegally in the country. …Singleton said she had problems with the state's decision to require 10,000 foreign nationals with New Mexico driver's licenses to verify in person that they still live in the state. ”

Scott Darnell, Governor Martinez’ spokesman, summed it up thusly: "In the absence of the legislature acting to put an end to the program that provides driver's licenses to illegal immigrants, the governor has the responsibility to identify and attempt to curb the dangerous fraud and identity theft that is inherent in it. The Governor continues to fight alongside the overwhelming majority of New Mexicans who feel that granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants is a dangerous policy that has led to fraud and abuse as nonresidents are trafficked or travel to New Mexico for the sole purpose of getting a driver's license and leaving.”

What Martinez really needs to do – and in fact has tried to do – is have the New Mexico legislature prohibit the issuance of driver’s licenses to illegal aliens. An attempt to do so failed earlier in the year.

on September 24th, was an opportunity to deal with the issue. The legislators, however, ignored the request of Governor Martinez to take up the driver’s license question, not even voting on it.

So there you have it. It was a valiant, but failed attempt to stop issuing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens in the state of New Mexico. As in other states, these things take time and each state has its own local issues and idiosyncrasies to be dealt with.

Governor Martinez deserves credit for standing up to the illegal alien/ethnic lobby that would use her own ethnic background against her. We wish her well in future attempts.

THE LA RAZA AGENDA

AGENDA OF LA RAZA, et al

TAKEN FROM TRANSCRIPTS DATED 1995. MANY OF THESE LA RAZA POLITICIANS HAVE WON HIGHER OFFICES WITH THE VOTES OF ILLEGALS.

“WE WILL TAKE CONTROL OF OUR COUNTRY (U.S.) BY VOTE IF POSSIBLE AND VIOLENCE IF NECESSARY!”

Agendas of MEChA, La Raza, MALDEF, and Southwest Voter Registration Projects These are transcripts of live, recorded statements by elected U.S. politicians, college professors, and pro-illegal alien activists whose objective is to take control of our country "by vote if possible and violence if necessary!" 1. Armando Navarro, Prof. Ethnic Studies, UC Riverside at Latino Summit Response to Prop 187, UC Riverside, 1/1995

"These are the critical years for us as a Latino community. We're in a state of transition. And that transformation is called 'the browning of America'. Latinos are now becoming the majority. Because I know that time and history is on the side of the Chicano/Latino community. It is changing in the future and in the present the balance of power of this nation. It's a game - it's a game of power - who controls it. You (to MEChA students) are like the generals that command armies. We're in a state of war. This Proposition 187 is a declaration of war against the Latino/Chicano community of this country. They know the demographics. They know that history and time is on our side. As one community, as one people, as one nation within a nation as the community that we are, the Chicano/Latino community of this nation. What this means is a transfer of power. It means control."

“THE NEW LEADERSHIP OF THE AMERICAS... IS MEXICAN!”

“REMEMBER: (PROPOSITION) 187 IS THE LAST GASP OF WHITE AMERICA IN CALIFORNIA!”

2. ART TORRES

 Art Torres, former CA state senator, currently Chair of California Democrat Party at UC Riverside 1/1995 "Que viva la causa! It is an honor to be with the new leadership of the Americas, here meeting at UC Riverside. So with 187 on the ballot, what is it going to take for our people to vote - to see us walking into the gas ovens? It is electoral power that is going to make the determination of where we go as a community. And power is not given to you -- you have to take it. Remember: 187 is the last gasp of white America in California. Understand that. And people say to me on the Senate floor when I was in the Senate, 'Why do you fight so hard for affirmative action programs?' And I tell my white colleagues, 'because you're going to need them.'"

“WE ARE NOT IMMIGRANTS THAT CAME FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY TO ANOTHER COUNTRY....WE ARE FREE TO TRAVEL THE LENGTH AND BREADTH OF THE AMERICAS BECAUSE WE BELONG HERE.”

3. Jose Angel Gutierrez, Prof. Univ. Texas at Arlington, founder La Raza Unida Party at UC Riverside 1/1995 "The border remains a military zone. We remain a hunted people. Now you think you have a destiny to fulfill in the land that historically has been ours for forty thousand years. And we're a new Mestizo nation. And they want us to discuss civil rights. Civil rights. What law made by white men to oppress all of us of color, female and male. This is our homeland. We cannot - we will not- and we must not be made illegal in our own homeland. We are not immigrants that came from another country to another country. We are migrants, free to travel the length and breadth of the Americas because we belong here. We are millions. We just have to survive. We have an aging white America. They are not making babies. They are dying. It's a matter of time. The explosion is in our population."

“WE HAVE TO BAND TOGETHER, AND THAT MEANS LATINOS IN FLORIDA, CUBAN-AMERICANS, MEXICAN-AMERICAS, PUERTO RICANS, SOUTH AMERICANS, WE HAVE TO NETWORK BETTER......”

BILL RICHARDSON. WE ALL WERE WITNESS TO OBAMA, ALWAYS THE HISPANDERER, ATTEMPT TO PUT RICHARDSON IN HIS CABINET TO SIGNAL THE ILLEGALS THAT AMNESTY WAS COMING. LIKE MOST HISPANIC POLITICIANS, RICHARDSON WAS TOO CORRUPT TO PASS EVEN THE CORRUPT CONGRESS AND WITHDREW HIS NOMINATION.

4. Bill Richardson, New Mexico Governor, former U.S. Congressman, U.N. Ambassador, U.S. Secretary of Energy interviewed on radio Latino USA responding to Congressional Immigration Reform legislation in 1996 "There are changing political times where our basic foundations and programs are being attacked, illegal and legal immigration are being unfairly attacked. We have to band together, and that means Latinos in Florida, Cuban-Americans, Mexican-Americans, Puerto Ricans, South Americans, we have to network better - we have to be more politically minded, we have to put aside party and think of ourselves as Latinos, as Hispanics more than we have in the past."

“WE’RE GOING TO TAKE OVER ALL THE POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS IN CALIFORNIA. IN FIVE YEARS THE HISPANICS ARE GOING TO BE THE MAJORITY POPULATION OF THIS STATE.... ANYONE THAT DOESN’T LIKE IT SHOULD LEAVE IT!”, Mario Obledo,

Mario Obledo, founding member/former national director of Mexican-American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF), former CA Secretary Health/Welfare on Tom Leikus radio talk show "We're going to take over all the political institutions in California. In five years the Hispanics are going to be the majority population of this state." Caller: "You also made the statement that California is going to become a Hispanic state and if anyone doesn't like it they should leave - did you say that?" Obledo: "I did. They ought to go back to Europe."

“WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA.. THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION STATE!”

6. Mario Obledo CCIR commentary on Mario Obledo: When CCIR, the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, erected a billboard on the California/Arizona border reading, "WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA, THE ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION STATE", Mario Obledo, infuriated, went to the billboard location and threatened to blow it up or burn it down. Even after this threat to deny American citizens their freedom of speech, President Clinton awarded Obledo the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America's highest civilian honor. CCIR question to Obledo: "Jose Angel Gutierrez said, 'We have an aging white America, they are dying, I love it.' How would you translate that statement?" Obledo: "He's a good friend of mine. A very smart person."

“THEY’RE AFRAID THAT WE’RE GOING TO TAKE OVER THE GOVERNMENT INSTITUTIONS AND OTHER INSTITUTIONS. THEY ARE RIGHT, WE WILL TAKE THEM OVER....”

7. Richard Alatorre, former Los Angeles City Councilman at Latino Summit conference in Los Angeles opposing CA Prop. 209 ending affirmative action in 9/1996 "Because our numbers are growing, they're afraid about this great mass of minorities that now live in our community. They're afraid that we're going to take over the governmental institutions and other institutions. They are right, we will take them over, and we are not going to go away - we are here to stay, and we are saying 'ya basta' (enough!) and we are going to turn... and de... not elect or re-elect people that believe that they are going to advance their political careers on the backs of immigrants and the backs of minorities."

“THE LATINOS ARE COMING... THE LATINOS ARE COMING!!! AND THEY’RE GOING TO VOTE!”

8. Joe Baca, former CA Assemblymember, currently member of Congress at Latino Summit Response to Prop 187 UC Riverside 1/1995 and Southwest Voter Registration Project annual conference in Los Angeles, 6/1996 "We need more Latinos out there. We must stand up and be counted. We must be together, We must be united. Because if we're not united you know what's going to happen? We're like sticks - we're broken to pieces. Divided we're not together. But as a unit they can't break us. So we've got to come together, and if we're united, si se puede (it can be done) and we will make the changes that are necessary. But we've got to do it. We've got to stand together, and dammit, don't let them divide us because that's what they want to do, is to divide us. And once we're divided we're conquered. But when we look out at the audience and we see, you know, la familia, La Raza (the family, our race), you know, it's a great feeling, isn't it a good feeling? And you know, I started to think about that and it reminded me of a book that we all read and we all heard about, you know, Paul Revere, and when he was saying, 'The British are coming, the British are coming!' Well, the Latinos are coming, the Latinos are coming! And the Latinos are going to vote. So our voices will be heard. So that's what this agenda is about. It's about insuring that we increase our numbers. That we increase our numbers at every level. We talk about the Congressional, we talk about the Senate, we talk about board of supervisors, board of education, city councils, commissions, we have got to increase out numbers because the Latinos are coming. Because what's going on right now, with 187, the CCRI (CA Civil Rights Initiative against affirmative action), and let me tell you, we can't go back, you know, we're in a civil war. But we need to be solidified, we need to come together, we must be strong, because united we form a strong body. United we become solidified, united we make a difference, united we make the changes, united Latinos will win throughout California, let's stick together, que si se puede, que no? (it can be done, right?)

“IF THEY’RE SUPPORTING LEGISLATION THAT DENIES THE UNDOCUMENTED DRIVER’S LICENSE, THEY DON’T BELONG IN OFFICE, FRIENDS. THEY DON’T BELONG HERE!”

9. Antonio Villaraigosa, Chair of MEChA (student wing of Aztlan movement) at UCLA, former CA assemblymember, former CA Assembly speaker, currently Los Angeles City Mayor, and formerly Councilman at Southwest Voter Registration Project Conference in Los Angeles, 6/1997 "Part of today's reality has been propositions like 187 (to deny public benefits to illegal aliens, 1994), propositions like 209 (to abolish affirmative action, 1996), the welfare reform bill, which targeted legal immigrants and targeted us as a community. That's been the midnight. We know that the sunny side of midnight has been the election of a Latino speaker - was the election of Loretta Sanchez, against an arch-conservative, reactionary hate-mongering politician like Congressman Dornan! Today in California in the legislature, we're engaged in a great debate, where not only were we talking about denying education to the children of undocumented workers, but now we're talking about whether or not we should provide prenatal care to undocumented mothers. It's not enough to elect Latino leadership. If they're supporting legislation that denies the undocumented driver's licenses, they don't belong in office, friends. They don't belong here. If they can't stand up and say, 'You know what? I'm not ever going to support a policy that denies prenatal care to the children of undocumented mothers', they don't belong here."

 “I’M GONNA GO OUT THERE AN VOTE BECAUSE I WANT TO PAY THEM BACK!”

(LA RAZA SUPREMACIST GLORIA MOLINA HAS HELPED TURN LOS ANGELES COUNTY INTO THE CAPITAL OF THE LA RAZA WELFARE STATE. THE COUNTY PUTS OUT $600 MILLION PER YEAR IN WELFARE TO ILLEGALS)

10. Gloria Molina, one of the five in Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors at Southwest Voter Registration Project Conference, 6/1996 "This community is no longer going to stand for it. Because tonight we are organizing across this country in a single mission, in a plan. We are going to organize like we've never organized before. We are going to go into our neighborhoods. We are going to register voters. We are going to talk to all of those young people that need to become registered voters and go out to vote and we're are politicizing every single one of those new citizens that are becoming citizens of this country. And what we are saying is by November we will have one million additional Latino voters in this country, and we're gonna march, and our vote is going to be important. But I gotta tell you, there's a lot of people that are saying, 'I'm gonna go out there and vote because I want to pay them back!' And this November we are going to remember those that stood with us and we are also going to remember those that have stood against us on the issues of immigration, on the issues of education, on the issues of health care, on the issues of the minimum wage."

“LONG LIVE OUR RACE!”

(LOS ANGELES MAYOR ANTONIO “TACO RUNT” VILLARAIGOSA IS A LONG STANDING MEMBER OF M.E.Ch.A. FASCIST PARTY)

11. Vicky Castro, former member of Los Angeles Board of Education at Southwest Voter Registration Project Conference, 6/1996 "Que viva la raza, que viva la raza (long live our race)! I'm here to welcome all the new voters of 18 years old that we're registering now in our schools. Welcome, you're going to make a difference for Los Angeles, for San Antonio, for New York, and I thank Southwest for taking that challenge. And to the Mechistas (MEChA students) across this nation, you're going to make that difference for us, too. But when we register one more million voters I will not be the only Latina on the Board of Education of Los Angeles. And let me tell you here, no one will dismantle bilingual education in the United States of America. No one will deny an education to any child, especially Latino children. As you know, in Los Angeles we make up 70% of this school district. Of 600,000 -- 400,000 are Latinos, and our parents are not heard and they're going to be heard because in Los Angeles, San Antonio and Texas we have just classified 53,000 new citizens in one year that are going to be felt in November!"

“I STARTED THIS VERY QUIETLY BECAUSE THERE ARE THOSE THAT IF THEY KNEW THAT WE WERE CREATING A WHOLE NEW CADRE OF BRAND NEW CITIZENS IT WOULD HAVE TREMENDOUS POLITICAL IMPACT.”
