RETAINING DRIVER’S LICENSES FOR IMMIGRANTS IS GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY

New Mexico has a long history of welcoming immigrants. We cannot afford now, especially in these economic times, to play with policies of exclusion. Immigration Reform will take place at the federal level. At the state level we must work together to make sure we have immigrant policies that foster economic growth.
We urge our legislators not to repeal driver’s licenses for undocumented immigrants and focus on the real priority of New Mexicans, making the economy work for everyone.

Why is this important?

New Mexico has taken the lead in promoting public safety measures for all by allowing immigrant families to obtain driver’s licenses regardless of immigration status
