From The Albuquerque Tribune —
New Mexico driver’s licenses would no longer be recognized as proof of identity by federal officials – like the guards who screen passengers before they board airplanes – under legislation headed for House approval today.
New Mexico is one of 10 states whose residents would have to carry some other proof of identity to board airplanes or enter a federal courthouse because the state issues driver’s licenses without requiring proof of U.S. citizenship.
New Mexico would have to change its law and deny such licenses if its other licenses are to be recognized as valid identification by the feds.
Further proof that the War on Terror is really a war against American citizens and the Constitution. It is about controlling us. Where’s Osama? Here comes that national. I.D. card. Show me you papers and keep your mouth shut. The Department of Fatherland Security has your best interests in mind, don’t worry, trust us.
