"Take California and Massachusetts and you've got a deal."

That means they'd have the Crips, Bloods and the Kennedy's, it's a deal, sold.

Mexico Consul General calls for repeal of Colorado law

Summit Daily News | March 9, 2002 | Dennis Webb

GLENWOOD SPRINGS — Mexico’s Consul General for Colorado called Thursday for the repeal of a state law prohibiting undocumented residents from obtaining driver’s licenses. Consul General Leticia Calzada, who serves a multi-state region that includes Colorado, called the restriction “very tough for them and for me, too.”

Undocumented residents are being cited for minor offenses that “are clogging courthouses in many counties because these Mexicans need to drive,” she said.

On Feb. 14, the Colorado Senate voted down a bill that would have granted driver’s licenses to undocumented immigrant workers who do not have a Social Security number, but who could provide an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number issued by the IRS.

Calzada’s comments came during a meeting with educators at Colorado Mountain College’s Glenwood Springs campus Thursday.

At that meeting, she also called for a new U.S./Mexican accord on immigration, and promised to serve as a resource for educators confronting challenges with the influx of Mexicans in local schools.

An immigration agreement is needed “to put order in this disorder” involving undocumented Mexicans in the United States, she said.

For the sake of the United States, and Colorado in particular, the issue of undocumented Mexicans must be resolved, she said.

“They are providing labor and energy to the economy of Colorado,” she said, adding that she finds Mexican workers in every resort-area hotel and restaurant she visits.

“Without Mexicans, Beaver Creek could not run,” she said.

An immigration agreement, Calzada said, also would be good for Mexico, “because Mexico needs some time — I don’t know, maybe 15 or 20 years — to improve its economy, its situation.”

In response to concerns from some Americans that Mexicans threaten to overpopulate the United States, Calzada assured her audience that Mexico wants its citizens to find good work at home.

“We would like to see the people of Mexico living in Mexico,” she said.

Mexico President Vicente Fox considers the Mexicans living in the United States “the forgotten ones” — economic exiles who deserve more attention, Calzada said.
