She hate that Bill.

On a 6-5 vote, a powerful Senate committee on Tuesday voted to return to New Mexico's current policy of issuing driver's licenses to undocumented immigrants. The Senate Judiciary Committee accomplished the change by removing language in House Bill 78, which the House passed last week after two grueling days of debate.

HB 78, sponsored by Andy Nuñez, I-Hatch, now goes to the Senate floor, where some legislators predict a knock-down, drag-out fight in which proponents of the ban will try to add it back in.

Tuesday's action not only sets up a potentially big fight between the Senate and the House but also with Gov. Susana Martinez, who has made ending the issuance of driver's licenses to illegal immigrants a legislative priority.

Martinez showed her displeasure in a scorching statement issued Tuesday night.

"The bill in its current form is a sham and insults the intelligence of every New Mexican who wants to see this dangerous law overturned," Gov. Susana Martinez said in a news release.

But more than numbers, the debate over New Mexico's driver's license program has come down to people and how they might be affected.

"In the gospels we hear about the Good Samaritan," said Allen Sanchez, executive director of the New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops. "The Good Samaritan is an immigrant. This bill lacks compassion for those who are living here. They are here. They are our neighbors."

A wheelchair-bound Albert Lino of Las Cruces, meanwhile, reduced the room to utter silence. Lino told lawmakers that his wife is an undocumented worker.

"I don't drive," said Lino, who then broke down in sobs. "Sorry," he said, waving his hand.

"What do I do? I need her," Lino asked state lawmakers. "These immigrants, they are not the same. People say they leave. Not everybody is the same. We can be more human, that's all I have to say."
