LAST FRIDAY, THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SAID YOU’LL BE ABLE TO USE YOUR NEW MEXICO DRIVERS LICENSE TO BOARD A COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS. BUT, AS OF MONDAY, THAT LICENSE WON’T BE GOOD ENOUGH AT SANDIA NATIONAL LABS OR WHITE SANDS MISSILE RANGE.
DRIVERS LICENSES WON’T BE ACCEPTED BECAUSE THEY DON’T COMPLY WITH THE FEDERAL REAL I-D ACT. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT NEW MEXICO ALLOWS PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THE COUNTRY ILLEGALLY TO GET DRIVERS LICENSES.
