SANTA FE (KRQE) - A bill that would stop the issuance of driver's licenses to illegal immigrants won't be going much further for a while.
The bill remains bottled up in a House committee after members deadlocked on it Saturday.
The bill would allow licenses for legal immigrants to get licenses as well as DREAMers young people who were brought to the U.S. illegally as children but whose deportation is now being deferred.
Gov. Susana Martinez supports the bill and issued a statement saying, "Unfortunately, the Legislature proved today that all their talk about wanting compromise on repealing the driver's license law was empty rhetoric and they are completely wedded to the status quo."
