Driver's licenses for sale? Possible security breach at DPS

Sources tell News 8 that some state workers in North Texas are compromising national security by illegally selling real driver's licenses to anyone who'll pay.

Billions of federal dollars are now being invested in post-9/11 national security, yet it's still possible to illegally obtain a real driver's license in North Texas from workers at the Department of Public Safety.

It's especially disturbing news in light of the fact that several of the terrorist hijackers of 9/11 got their driver's licenses the same way. Passenger checkpoints at airports are all but impassible without a government-issued picture ID – most often a driver's license. That alone makes such licenses very valuable.

My state of Tennessee eased drivers license requirements and found a human tidal wave inundating the stations from everywhere else. Once they had a Tennessee license they returned to their "home" states and swapped them for those state's licenses that they wouldn't have been able to obtain in the first place.

This confirms the existence of a huge counterfeit document trade and a grapevine communication network that enables the parasites to take advantage of any loophole or break they can take advantage of. Getting this law repealled or modified here has been hell ("It's to insure safety!"), but we're not giving up or going away about this.

Just before Christmas two illegals thought they hit a pregnant woman with their truck (she may have fell down going into labor). When she pleaded for help one emptied his (illegally purchased) handgun into her, one round going through the unborn baby. As he did this he told the woman "Here's your help."
Their excuse: They "didn't want to get into trouble for hitting someone."

The only thing legal here was the driver's license. I consider that woman's and her baby's blood on the hands of the legislators who eased the way for these criminals.

This was an exceptionally heinous act, but insurance and injury rates are climbing steadily from illegals' accidents from which they flee or no habla insurance. So much for improving overall safety.
