Thread: Wa: State to require proof for driver's lic. again

In Florida you now need your driver's licesne, SSN, 2 pieces of mail addressed to you with the same address as the driver's licesne, if you are an legal immigrant with a visa, greencard or are naturalized you need to bring your immigration papers.
The sad part about this that even though they cannot get a driver's license, illegals drive anyways. They caught 6 in Collier County yesterday alone in the Immokalee area which is an agricultural area and one who had over stayed a visa and had his license expire 4 months earlier. Out of 23 arrests 7 were for illegals driving violations and in some cases using fake ID as well. This time they did not find illegal drugs in the car.

You're right SC! Illegals still drive because nothing happens to them when they get caught. I would imagine illegal invaders would think twice about driving if they knew getting caught driving while illegal was guaranteed to get them turned over to ICE and deported.

The solutions are so simple yet continue to be ignored!

They put immigration holds on them as the jails deal with the immigration issue rather than police. The jails in Florida have the ICE progarm and ICE agents verify their immigration status. Here is an example of an illegal who was charged with numerous driving related offense that is in the Broward County Jail:

Are you kidding me? Do they think illegal aliens live in tents. They all have a "residental" address. If Washington was serious about this, they would insist on showing a certified birth certificate to get a driver's license like we have to do here in Idaho.

You are right this is a joke and people in Washington must be drinking the kool aid their politicians are serving them over there...how pathetic!
