IT’S OFFICIAL. NEW MEXICO WILL NOW BE ISSUING DRIVERS AUTHORIZATION CARDS TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. GOVERNOR MARTINEZ SIGNED LEGISLATION PASSED THIS YEAR THAT ENDS THE PRACTICE OF ISSUING DRIVERS LICENSES TO THEM.
THE AUTHORIZATION CARDS ARE NOT VALID I-D’S FOR ACCESSING FEDERAL FACILITIES OR BOARDING A PLANE. THE LAW BRINGS NEW MEXICO INTO COMPLIANCE WITH THE REAL I-D ACT. NOW YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE WILL BE ACCEPTED AT AIRPORT SECURITY CHECKPOINTS AND ENTRANCES TO FEDERAL BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES.
