Colorados Department of Motor Vehicles mistakenly issued U.S. citizen drivers licenses to 524 non-citizens, including some illegal immigrants, CBS4 has learned.
The licenses look like those given to state residents. The DMV blamed a software problem at a contractor, who is working with DMV to retrieve the licenses and re-issue correct IDs.

They're just gonna do it; then when things come to a head not even bother to argue the merits of legalization - they'll just claim its precedent.
wow they really are desperate to steal elections and also give these illegals amnesty.
Aliens Ping
As long as they vote Democrat, who’s going to care?
Tax the crap out of them. We tax booze, tax cigareetes for those who are addicted to them. Why not collect a substantial proportion of the funds necessary to monitor and control illegal aliens from them directly? That would be less money going “back home” for their retirement homes.
How many had green cards and how many were illegals
Mistake, my as...er...Obamahole.
Colorado was infected by libs (they Californicated Colorado).
This is intentional.
It will recover following CW-II.
I was reading about this in the local Denver media Facebook pages, and commenting about how this is normal during an election year when a certain party is worried about losing.
Even the liberal FDR had enough sense to ban Nazis starting newspapers or legally driving around the country.
H1Bs, L1s, F1s, and several other categories of visa are also eligible.
Isn’t that special!? If you’re a citizen you’d better bring your BC or you get nothing.
“524 non-citizens, “
More like 5,240
Can they even read the traffic signs. Do they know one way signs. Get ready for American citizens to be killed by these illegal Mexicans driving on our roads. Liberals are insane and traitors to our country.
Whaddya mean, “Get ready?”
It happens more than it’s reported.
Colorado Ping ( Let me know if you wish to be added or removed from the list.)
Right, it was no mistake.
That is unexpected. Who could have guessed that issuing official ID to criminals who are in our country illegally would cause problems?
Gessler the Colorado Secretary of the State should be looking out for these Aliens to prosecute if they illegally vote in November.
Like he did last year.

“Gessler Blasts Dems as He Refers Suspected Illegal Voters to Prosecutors. July 2, 2013
DENVERSecretary of State Scott Gessler sent 155 cases of suspected non-citizens voters to local prosecutors Monday, and blamed Democrats for it.
In 2012, Senate Democrats killed a bill sought by Gessler that would have made it easier to flag non-citizens who register to vote before they reach the ballot box.
Im frustrated that the partisan legislature turned its back on prevention. Rather than help people follow the law, they instead want to punish them, said Gessler in a statement. Their approach undermines election integrity and is frankly a heartless way to treat immigrants.
The swipe comes as the latest flare-up in Gesslers ongoing battle with Democratic legislators over voting integrity and access.
Democrats left Gessler out of the process this year when they drew up and approved a sweeping elections overhaul that didnt include a requirement to show photo identification, a provision that the Republican Gessler has championed.
Meanwhile, Gessler has moved to eliminate illegal voting by identifying non-citizens who wind up on the states voter rolls, usually during the process of obtaining drivers licenses.
Gessler found the latest 155 non-citizen voters using state records and the Homeland Security Departments immigration database, the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements.

There are “non-citizens” who are legal permanent residents, have Social Security numbers and can get drivers’ licenses.
