Let me say first that I disagree with issuing a state drivers license to any illegal immigrant.
I've heard rumblings of this in the past but just read this FoxNews (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/10/29/grounded-new-mexico-driver-licenses-fail-feds-test-thanks-to-illegal-immigrant/?intcmp=hpbt3) article. The jist of the article is that as of Jan 10, 2016 a NM DL will no longer be adequate to allow the bearer to pass security and board flights in the United States because the DLs don't meet federal REALID requiements.
Normally, I wouldn't get my panties in too much of a twist over that. But when I consider EVERYTHING the federal government does, and doesn't do, regarding illegal aliens in the country, it makes my blood boil. Our government, both parties (and many states), goes out of it's way to enhance the lives of illegal aliens. From providing amnesty, welfare, medical care, reduced college tuition, failing to deport, failing to charge criminals, sanctuary cities, etc, it's completely out of control. And for the federal government to say they won't let citizens of a state board a domestic flight because of the states policies on issuing drivers licenses is the ultimate in hypocrisy.
This government is out of control. I wish I had the answer to turning it around. It literally makes me feel ill to think of what bureaucrats and politicians have done to this great country. I'm ashamed.
