A senior homeland security official said yesterday that if states issue driver's licenses to illegal aliens, the licenses would lose their acceptance as de facto identity cards by the government and the private sector.

"Historically, we've looked at it that [applicants for a driver's license] ought to be able to prove citizenship, because we've relied upon those driver's licenses," said Asa Hutchinson, undersecretary for border and transportation at the Homeland Security Administration.

"Historically, we've looked at it that [applicants for a driver's license] ought to be able to prove citizenship, because we've relied upon those driver's licenses," said Asa Hutchinson, undersecretary for border and transportation at the Homeland Security Administration.
"If the states are going to change the historical context and say they don't need citizenship ... then we have to change our whole reliance upon them," he told reporters.

WTG Asa!!!

What a joke, what good is a drivers license if it is fake or obtained with fake credentials?

Why can't the illegals just use their Mexican licenses? They are perfectly legal here.
