Bishops, advocates protest N.M. driver’s license repeal

SANTA FE (AP) – Hundreds of immigrant advocates protested New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez’s push to repeal a state law that allows illegal immigrants to get driver’s licenses.

The advocates, including religious groups and student activists, marched around the Capitol on Tuesday in what has become a regular scene since Martinez took office last year.

New Mexico is one of three states – including Washington and Utah – where illegal immigrants can get driver’s licenses because no proof of citizenship is required.
