    Surge In Driver’s Licenses For Illegal Immigrants
    Last Updated: Mon, 08/16/2010 - 2:47pm

    As local governments across the U.S. crack down on illegal immigration, three states that proudly offer undocumented aliens driver’s licenses have seen a big surge in the number of cards issued to those who are not in the country legally.

    New Mexico, Washington State and Utah have long allowed illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses and all three have seen a major increase in undocumented applicants since Arizona passed its immigration control law earlier this year. Hawaii also offers illegal immigrants driver’s licenses but was not featured in this particular analysis, which was conducted by a national news organization.

    It reveals an astonishing 60% increase over last year in the rate of driver’s licenses issued to immigrants in New Mexico, Washington State and Utah during the 10 weeks that followed approval of Arizona’s measure. New Mexico issued 10,257 licenses to immigrants through the first six months of 2010, compared with 13,481 for all of 2009.

    Utah gave 41,000 illegal immigrants driver’s licenses through the first week of June compared with 43,429 for all of 2008 (the state did not provide data for 2009) and Washington granted 3,200 licenses to people from outside the U.S. during the same period, surpassing the pace of 5,992 for all of 2009.

    The states allow illegal immigrants to get licenses simply by not requiring proof of legal residency. Maryland ended the practice just last spring by denying licenses to motorists who can’t prove they’re in the country legally. Earlier this year Utah became the nation’s first state to offer a special class of driver’s licenses for illegal immigrants who will be ineligible to obtain the cards when new federal security standards kick in.

    To protect illegal immigrant drivers when a national identification law (Real ID Act) takes effect, Utah actually created a two-tier system that assures undocumented aliens will get a special license valid only in the state. Motorists who are legal residents or citizens will receive a “regularâ€

    The motor voter law was passed under Clinton before he was forced to the middle.

    Yes, they illegally vote, I am convinced of it.

    They have been giving out fake IDs at the DMV in NC for years. The government here knows it to. Utterly sickening how much you get away with being an illegal immigrant simply because people do not do their jobs.

    I never thought it could be so easy to game the system.

    Only if you are from Mexico and either pretend not to speak the language or do not speak the language.

    Simply unbelievable, never before in the history of man.

    That and every other law they can break, you got to remember they are using fake ID.

Motorists who are legal residents or citizens will receive a "regular" driver’s license and illegal aliens will get a driving privilege card, which can’t be used as identification at places such as airports.
    Citizenship is for suckers, apparently.

    Where can I apply to become an illegal alien!?

    Carlos Hernandez packed up his family and left Arizona after the state passed its sweeping immigration crackdown. The illegal immigrant's new home outside Seattle offered something Arizona could not: a driver's license.

    "It's difficult being undocumented and not having an identification," said Hernandez, of Puebla, Mexico. "You can use the Mexican ID, but people look down on it."
    You know, Carlos, there's a reason We the People of the United States look down on your Mexican identification ...

    You are not supposed to be here.

    Hernandez said he knows other illegal immigrants who considered New Mexico because of the ease of getting a license without documents. But he and others thought Washington would be safer.

    "I know that it's not OK for people who come here to cross the border, but there's people that come here that want to contribute … that want to follow the rules," said Hernandez, 31.
    Okay Carlos, I'll tell ya what:

    Let's give you amnesty and a very well-paying job. After you move into your lovely new home with family in tow, one day I'm just going to break into your house through the back door and start living there. I shall remain against your wishes, eat your food, run your electric bill through the stratosphere, hog the shower every morning, use your Internet connection to download GIGAbytes of pornography, and obey none of the rules of the house -- just because I can.

    What? Why are you getting mad? Don't worry about it, Carlos. I want to contribute. I want to follow the rules.

    Deport all illegal aliens

    THE UNITED STATES MUST NOT ISSUE DRIVER'S LICENSES TO ILLEGAL ALIENS. ILLEGAL IS ILLEGAL SO THEY CANNOT GET ANY LEGAL DOCUMENT.
