As New Mexico hands out driver's licenses without proof that a person is here in the country legally, they are not worth the laminate which encases them. Given the lack of controls, it's perfectly reasonable that states which do require proof of legal residency do not accept ID from states which do not.
Simply NOT TRUE....WHY would you say such?
