New Mexico Governor's Grandparents Were Illegal Immigrants

September 12, 2011 | ISSUE 47•37

Gov. Susana Martinez, who supports a bill that would prevent illegal immigrants from obtaining driver's licenses in New Mexico, has acknowledged her father's parents came to the United States without papers. What do you think?

That’s why America is great. In just two generations, you can go from a being a struggling immigrant to hating one.

If I were governor and they were my grandparents, I think I would have eventually given them their papers.

I refuse to answer your question, good sir, as it seems you are insinuating hypocrisy among an elected official. How dare you?
