I miss my country  WASHINGTON - Starting next year, people living in the nation's capital who don't have legal permission to reside in the United States will be able to get driver's licenses. Democratic Mayor Vincent Gray signed a bill on Monday that would allow the District of Columbia's Department of Motor Vehicles to issue licenses to people who can't prove their immigration status. It would take effect May 1 unless Congress intervenes, which isn't considered likely. www.myfoxdc.com/story/23995750/dc-mayor-to-sign-immigrant-drivers-license-bill#axzz2l2Cv7E8F |

Weren't all drivers licenses supposed to be vetted by the Feds as part of the "War on Terrorism"? I wonder how that plan dovetails with this one. And by wonder, I mean chuckle and shake my head in bemused disbelief.  |

And by wonder, I mean chuckle and shake my head in bemused disbelief. The REAL ID Act. So far as I know, it's still federal law, though its implementation has been delayed several times. I strongly question the wisdom of giving illegals driving privileges, much less than giving them a form of ID that makes it harder to determine their status. But I'm not sure what law has been "broken." |

And by wonder, I mean chuckle and shake my head in bemused disbelief. My guess is that this has less to do with driving, and more to do with being the opposite of voter ID laws. |

If someone is here illegally, they deserve NO USA rights at all, none. |

And that is the crux of the situation. If they have DL's, they can register to vote, because "they have the ID you have been screaming for". The Dems are relying on the illegal vote, again, to win in 14 and 16. If they get amnesty, they think they will be in power forever, because they can just import as many illegals as they need to win whatever election they are running. |
