Three states — Washington, New Mexico and Utah — allow illegal immigrants to get licenses because their laws do not require proof of citizenship or legal residency. An Associated Press analysis found that those states have seen a surge in immigrants seeking IDs in recent months.

Is it still true that Utah gives driver’s licenses to illegals? I thought they closed that loophole.

More immigrants getting driver’s licenses in Washington
______________________________________________

I got my driver’s license while I was an immigrant...

But they didnt put it in the paper...

Maybe because it was another state ???

Answered my own question. They do not.

Stupid media.

All illegal aliens take note: The welcome mat is out for you in these states. You are free to leave Texas at any time.

In Georgia’s strong law a couple of years ago they tried to close this loophole of ILLEGAL ALIENS getting drivers licenses ...

However Georgians can renew their license on the Internet, and they didnt address that...

the ILLEGAL ALIENS can still renew online if they already have a GA DR..

Is the federal Real ID Law still in force? It said drivers licenses from states that do not require proof of citizenship or legal residency cannot be used for air travel or other federal ID.

When I got my Washington drivers license I had to wait for 45 minutes in a room full of illegals. I had to prove my residency in the state, which I had trouble convincing them the contract on my new home was proof of residency. I came really close to not getting my license that day.

Meanwhile a stream of Mexicans were trading in their Oregon drivers licenses for Washington licenses without having to show anything.
