The blast worked.
A bill carried by Rep. Andy Nuñez (I-Hatch) that would rescind the state’s policy allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses successfully bypassed the committee process — a rarely used parliamentary procedure called “blasting a bill” — Friday (March 4) when the House floor voted 42-28 to move the measure onto the Senate.
Eight Democrats defected to the side of the Republicans and Nuñez, completing two arduous days of deliberation that saw the 75-year-old Nuñez stay on his feet, verbally punching and counterpunching opponents, some of whom bitterly complained about the bill skipping committees and the passage of a measure they say singles out Mexican-Americans.

What are the numbers in the NM Senate? Any problem getting this through?
The bill singles out Mexican Americans? Illegals aren’t American citizens and illegals aren’t all Mexican you racist boob.
you betcha! We have an unlimited target supply of hippies.
Great for New Mexico and the leftist will have a hard time making the racist claim stick.
Monday I think Rep Nunez deserves some Freeper calls of support.
Ol drunk bill must be crying in his corona
Actually, although it doesn't single them out, the bill certainly does target Mexican-Mexicans. Mexican-Americans aren't illegal and can of course easily obtain a driver's license or any other "document".
It’s not singling out Mexican Americans. It’s singling out illegals of all nationalities. And there are no Mexican Americans. You are either American or you are not.
No...it singles out illegal immigrants. No matter what flavor they are.
Who's the racist now?
Making illegals who drive illegally with illegal licenses illegal...
WHADDA CONCEPT!!!
ROFL!! that’s a keeper!
;-)
Hatch, New Mexico, is the chili capital of the United States. It has also got to be home to hundreds of illegals. Nunez has got to be one tough cookie.
Has Holder decided not to enforce this law yet?
From what I’ve read, SO FAR it looks like it will pass in the Senate and of course, the governor will sign it since she’s been a big supporter of this.
I’m saying so far since we know what could happen once the whining and crying starts from the illegal’s supporters.
I’ve already sent him a THANK YOU email and encourage everyone else to do the same: annunez@zianet.com
