BUT! If illegals don't NEED one (saving on fees, eye checks and waiting time) AND the coppers aren't requiring one, why HAVE one?
I feel like we're on a Merry-go-round.
I understand what you are getting at. The only real way to change this is if you and millions of your fellow Tennesseans (are there millions of Tennesseans?) is to pull and Atlas Shrugged type maneuver and get rid of all your driver's licenses en masse. But how likely is that?
I'm not condoning or endorsing what the police are doing, I'm just addressing your question.
I think what Texas Eagle means is that you use your driver’s license for a lot of other things than getting around in a car. Get rid of your driver’s license and try to cash a check or purchase with a credit card, for example. Little conveniences that suddenly become hassles.
That’s how I look at it.
I wish the Feds would wise up and start enforcing the border and sending whatever law breakers they can back to their native countries, but that doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon.
