The Democratic legislators of New Mexico need to reach back, grasp their ears and extract their heads from their rear ends. The idea of issuing a driver's license to a criminal is ludicrous, and anyone in this country illegally is a criminal.

State Rep. Miguel Garcia says that New Mexicans are tolerant of those who want a better life. That's fine as long as they play by the rules and follow the law. If they are not here legally, the only consideration they deserve is deportation.

What happens in New Mexico affects not only New Mexicans, but the rest of the country. That New Mexico driver's license will get them anywhere they want to go. If we are not going to follow the immigration laws, then let's just open the borders and let 'em all in. Issuing a license to an illegal is not going to make our roads any safer, either.

Since illegals are generally doing the low-paying jobs that Americans won't, they have little extra money for insurance or vehicle upkeep.

The majority of New Mexicans want this law repealed, so why are Democrats not following the desires of their constituents? If our elected officials are not representing us, let's get rid of them.
