...the women stole a purse from a dance studio on Wednesday and then within 30 minutes made a false New Mexico driver's license.

Surveillance video showed the women using the stolen credit card to make purchases at drug store and a grocery store.

Police said the operation is new to them and that it's surprising the women were able to produce a fake driver's license so quickly.

This is how the illegals will get the ability to vote.

See, if we had a National ID and a National Drivers License, this wouldn’t happen. /sarc

Give them the real one, then they won’t have to go to the trouble of stealing and forging one. Just give it to them. We give everything else to them.

This is so easy because for a dozen years now NM issues driver’s licenses to illegals. Those illegals especially from out of state and wanting licenses have learned that getting a license is easy and fast, so forging an ID to present to the MVD is no problem and common. Sounds like they have now found a way to avoid the MVD entirely.
