So after reading this article I have to wonder.

What the hell is is wrong with Utah for letting illegals obtain drivers licenses?

Utah still has a number of folks who believe in cheap field hands, or maybe even miners.

As far as I know Susanna Martinez is an American. Yet the media has to classify everyone for their agenda.

She is really good.

I suspect that it is Latino activists who are upset with her not large numbers of New Mexican Latinos in general.

This sentence is critical:

“While her stance irked many voters of Mexican descent, Martinez drew enough support among conservatives in the Latino community to win election in the heavily Hispanic state.”

As a Latino I am proud of out governor. More balls than most of the ‘men’ in Santa Fe. She also has a lot of support on this. In fact, she campaigned on this very issue. I have no idea why this is news.
