New Mexico Resident's ID Temporarily Rejected as 'Foreign' By D.C. Clerk
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
Growing up I got this a lot. You would think with AZ bordering NM, it wouldn't happen, but it was by elementary school kids mostly.... mostly.
I once met a girl from California who rooted against a team from New England because they weren't American. When I pointed out that all teams were american she said "Then why would they call them World Series" and I had no answer for that.
Simpsons, someone posted the gif, how dare you insult my intelligence?!
The clerk and her supervisor need to be canned. There should be a law against people THAT STUPID being in positions of THAT kinda POWER (within the government). A LAW, I tell you!!!
It was such a common problem that NM license plates had to add USA to it
Oh man. If I got that call I would've never received my plates for calling them all a bunch of morons and so on
They refused? Did you try to tell them? That shit would be unacceptable to me.
New Mexicans have been dealing with this for generations. Last I checked, it's the only state to have "USA" on their license plates, specifically because the problem is so prevelant.
Yep, they called me on my way back home asking for a different address. I thought it was just a simple error and the paperwork just said Mexico, but after explaining to the phone rep 3 times that it was NEW Mexico and them still not understanding, I just gave up. It was honestly entertaining, like a gag from a stupid comedy.
I once had a TSA agent ask all her colleagues to come look when I traveled with a DC license. They had never seen one and thought it looked cool.
Yeah who doesn't remember the first World Series being held in 1969.
As someone who has to explain more often than not that by growing up in New Mexico, I did in fact grow up in the US, I feel his pain.
New Mexicans are now all considered Mexicans.
Congratulations, new Latinx.
Soon people are going to say the same of people from California.

New Mexico has the coolest license plate.It was such a common problem that NM license plates had to add USA to it
Nah. It's just that the other countries aren't good enough to compete. :o
I thought all U.S. drivers licenses and ID cards have "USA" on it somewhere, for example, here's a picture of what Maryland's ID and drivers license cards look like:
