Proof of residency, New Mexico?
Have friend from England, has lived and worked in New Mexico for 17 years. Has green card,pays taxes, pays gross receipts taxes, pays child support,property taxes and has a New Mexico drivers license. He lives here! Now, he gets a letter from New Mexico taxation and revenue, prompted by the Governors office, to prove residency, in person,in Albuquerque, within 30 days. That is 3 hours away by the way. Is this legal? Can the Governor do this to immigrants? The letter states that if he does not appear in person, by appointment, his drivers license will be canceled. What is up with this? Any legal,ethical opinion? Thanks!..........

1 :
If he has valid green card, why can't he just go to the office and clear up all this issue?
2 :
Yes this is legal. He should not worry if he did nothing wrong and has nothing to hide. It will just be an appearance that must be respected and obeyed. Immigrants are just that, immigrants. Maybe he forgot to renew something or file correct paperwork. It's pure guesswork until he goes and solves the problem.
3 :
New Mexico is one of three states that still do not require proof of legal status. Because of this, illegal immigrants from other states use false addresses to obtain driver's licenses and IDs. Governor Martinez has ordered the DMV to verify state residency of all foreign citizens who did not submit SSNs when they applied for a license or ID. It is unfortunate that people like your friend are being inconvenienced by New Mexico's inability to prevent driver's license and ID fraud.
4 :
Yes, it was designed to catch the illegal alien savages who used New Mexico's lax laws to get licenses
5 :
They just need sight of his green card A friend had something similar for property homestead allowance .. he had to produce his green card at the country building after about 8 years with no problem a nuisance but not a great problem
6 :
Seems to me Marteenis failed to get the open borders law revoked so she is using the DMV along with Rove's ever effective fear mongering spin as a backdoor. Encouraging police to harass anyone they even suspect is an immigrant did not even begin to satiate her appetite. Meanwhile Fox news and Arizona applaud her efforts to feed the fires of hatred. But your question really requires an immigration attorney. I would suggest your friend give the ACLU a call. But in the end, his choice is to eat caca and tip toe through the tulips like the rest of us peasants......or he spends the next 10 years as a sacrificial lamb in a justice system ruled by drugs, pimps and payoffs. While we entertain ourselves with police-state topics of terror, other countries like Canada welcome immigrants as the facts show they greatly expand GDP, growth and intellectual prosperity.

About I would like to get a job at Verizon Wireless. They have a call center here in Albuquerque, and retail stores
I would like to get a job at Verizon Wireless. They have a call center here in Albuquerque, and retail stores?
Which is generally the better place to work? I have 2 years of solid retail experience, and will have an Associates Degree by August. I have no problems with stressed out customers, and am a hard worker. Would the call center be better or the retail store? I also have a permanent arm injury, from my last job. I can't do a lot of repetitive motion with my left arm, and am not able to lift a lot of heavy items with my left arm. However, my right arm is fully able to do lots of work, and I am still able to type, with both arms(or hands). Any suggestions? Or Comments?

Albuquerque is okay but it is developing big city issues. Sante Fe New Mexico is more of an artist community. It is nice but the city is elevated above sea level. Ideal place is Las Cruces New Mexico. It is in the southern part of New Mexico off of Interstate 10. Small city, beautiful area and peaceful. It is right off of Interstate 10 in case you'd want to drive east to El Paso Texas or west to Phoenix Arizona or Los Angeles.

That is tough. You may try lawn mowing, my 14 year old neighbor is always busy. He charges between $10-20 per lawn, depending on the size. You can also try dog sitting/walking, babysitting, washing cars or taking care of people's plants when they are on vacation. I know kids in ABQ that do all of these things for extra cash. Unfortunately, not a lot of businesses hire kids your age because of the insurance liabilities. For future reference, Kirtland AFB has a summer hire program that you can apply to when you are 16 and ABQ Ride offers service to Kirtland, in case you are still saving for a car then or gas is $6 a gallon. Good luck.

Based on my experience, I really loved being with the city police. I worked in a more precise area day in and day out so I was able to become very familiar with the regulars and the area. My back up was closer when trouble started and there seemed to be less politics involved since the chief is hired and a sheriff is elected. (There is still SOME politics involved due to city officials and councils, etc.) My friends with Sheriffs dept and troopers had to cover a much much larger area and usually without any backup for 30-60 miles away. It seemed I was also able to learn many different aspects of the job with the city and promotion seemed quicker. A city police department is certainly my choice for starting out.
2 :
One good thing about being a city police officer is that your backup is about minutes or less away,which is nice.On the other hand if you don't want to be too overwhelmed,being a deputy sheriff would probably be best for you.State troopers operate mainly on the state's highways.They have jurisdiction of the whole state,although you don't see them going down city or county streets very often.If you like to focus on traffic,you would be best at state trooper or city police.State police make the most,if you are concerned with the pay. Hope this helps and good luck with your choice.
