Thread: Victory for illegals in Colorado

Turns out, Governor Ritter's veto of 1313 was all a ruse, as the provisions to make it easier for illegals to get drivers' licenses were added to the DMV regulations the day before he vetoed the bill.

On June 1, 2007 Gov Ritter vetoed CO HB 1313 - a bill that would have made it easier for illegal aliens to get Colorado drivers' licenses. In doing so, he stated that it was his "...strongly-held belief that a legislative fix is not the proper remedy to this problem."

Instead, the State formally adopted on Thursday [May 31, I think, so the day before the veto] new rules specifying the types of documents that will be accepted in order to issue a driver's licence .

Illegals can now use these docs:
- An out-of-state photo driver’s license, photo instruction permit, or photo identification card
- Valid Employment Authorization Document, including I 766, I 688, I 688A, I 688B that is verified using SAVE.
- For an Applicant under the age of 18, an affidavit signed by the Applicant’s parent or legal guardian
- A Social Security Card that is verified using the SSOLV system

As we all know, fake IDs, social security cards, etc. are readily available, and some DMV employees can be bribed to accept fake IDs from illegals or might even do it without a bribe.

I’m not sure and correct me if I am wrong, but any Illegal wouldnt even have any of the above documents that are valid.
The DMV will need to do the job they are being paid to do, and not issue a permit to drive on any unstable questionable documents at all .

We in America have to wait weeks for a hand gun .

It can be amended after the above law to make any person wait a week, two weeks, or 6 months, for a drivers permit.

If the person is illegal they wont wait, if the are legal they will be glad to wait,
what’s a few more days after what any legal immigrant has already been working for.
