STAUNTON, Va. (WHSV) -- Illegal immigrants in our nation's capitol received the green light for a driver's license as Washington, D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray signed the bill Monday afternoon.
Starting next year, D.C. drivers who cannot prove their immigration status will still be able to get a drivers license.
In Staunton for a luncheon with local business leaders today, Rep. Bob Goodlatte called the plan a, quote, "bad idea."

"It's going to cause problems not just within Washington, D.C. but also in other states like Virginia that may have to give reciprocal privileges ,so when they come into Virginia they can drive in Virginia even though they're not lawfully present in the United States," said Goodlatte.
Licenses for immigrants who cannot prove their legal status would be marked as invalid for federal identification purposes.
