They are here illegally to work for **** wages and to exploit the system and somehow some politician thought lets let illegals have licenses and they will buy insurance.

When New Mexico began issuing driver’s licenses to non-citizens in 2003, then-Governor Bill Richardson had argued the policy would reduce the high number of uninsured drivers in the state. Nearly a decade later, national statistics indicate the law failed to live up to its expectations.
New Mexico continues to rank near the top of the list of states with the most uninsured drivers, consistently registering nearly twice the national average, according to the Insurance Research Council.
In 2000, before the law went into effect, 26.3 percent of New Mexico drivers were uninsured. In 2008, a year before Richardson left office, that number had jumped to 29.5 percent, making the state number one in the country for uninsured drivers. By 2009, the last year figures were available, the state dropped to second place with 25.7 percent of its drivers uninsured.
"If the policy is motivated by a lowering of uninsured motorists or decreasing accidents, I think it has had an insignificant effect," said J. Tim Query, Ph.D, Associate Professor of Risk Management and Insurance at New Mexico State University. "Being one of only two states, Washington being the other, that allow undocumented immigrants to obtain a state-issued driver’s license increases the probability of fraud."
 
You know that you are a bigot for being in favor of immigration laws, right? If not, Guy Incognito will tell you soon enough. :lol:
 
Allowing licenses to illegal immigrants is absurd....Illegal being the keyword as far as im concerned
