What is Bill running for?

Apparently Bill Richardson is looking to curry favor with some unknown constituency for some unknown political office for that day he’s out of work next year…

Gov. Bill Richardson has directed the New Mexico Human Rights Division to assist any New Mexicans who are worried about traveling to Arizona in light of the controversial, recently-signed immigration law. The office could help New Mexicans by “giving them the information they need to protect themselves from unlawful detentions and investigations, assisting them in any legal action should they be unlawfully detained or investigated, and referring them to individuals and foundations, both private and charitable, that are willing to help.”

Richardson must know that the law is not yet in effect, no? And what problems would New Mexicans have traveling to Arizona anyway? Did Bill Richardson forget that New Mexico is a part of the union and therefore citizens of New Mexico are United States citizens? What garbage.

Look, the only reason why any New Mexican has to worry about having the wrong paperwork is because of the policies of the Bill Richardson administration. His support of giving illegal immigrants driver licenses is completely fallacious and means that our state’s primary form of identification is worthless as a means of proving legitimacy. So, that means we have to use passports. Thanks Bill.
