SALT LAKE CITY - Immigrant rights activists are angry about a bill requiring undocumented workers to hand over their driver licenses for driving "privilege" cards. One even compared the legislation to the marking of Jews during the Holocaust.



The card, according to the bill passed Wednesday by the Legislature, could not be used as identification to board a plane, open a bank account or obtain a driver's license in another state. It would have to be renewed annually and would be a different color than Utah's regular blue driver's license and be printed with the words "FOR DRIVING PRIVILEGES ONLY â€â€

Don't know about Calif. but I can tell you what a pain it is and how long it can tie you up here in NC when you stop an illegal driving with fake ID and a drivers license. So far now chases from them here. But I expect it is just a matter of time.
