I was reading an article about the National Real ID Act, which requires all U.S. citizens to have a federal ID by December 2009 ( that date just changed from May 2008.) In the article I ran across this statement:

"States will be able to issue separate credentials to illegal aliens so that they will still be able to drive."

Why would they be issuing ID to illegal aliens? Shouldn't these people be getting arrested for being here illegally, or at the very least, deported?

This isn't my only concern about this issue, however I found it to be an interesting little tidbit.
