Immigration advocates to fight NM license-law repeal effort

January 16, 2012 (1 min read)

"Days before the state Legislature convenes, opponents of Gov. Susana Martinez's effort to halt issuance of New Mexico driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants gathered Saturday at a Roman Catholic church in Santa Fe to share information and talk about lobbying efforts.  Organized by Pax Christi Santa Fe, representatives from the immigrant-rights group Somos Un Pueblo Unido joined with parishioners of Santa María de la Paz Catholic Community and other residents for what was billed as a "Let's Keep Driver Licenses For Immigrants" forum.  The mostly over-40 crowd of some 40 people seemed to be in agreement with various speakers' arguments that the issue speaks to civil rights and social justice within the immigrant community." - The New Mexican, Jan. 14, 2012.
