"officials at the State Department of Motor Vehicles have begun a crackdown on license fraud that will take away the driver's licenses of as many as 200,000 immigrants who cannot prove that they are here legally."

I'll believe it when I see it.

"State officials say 250,000 licenses are in line to be suspended"

So what's the hold up?

"But critics say the enforcement will fall mainly on illegal immigrants who are hard-working members of society..."

But critics say the enforcement will fall mainly on ILLEGAL immigrants...

"- and to local D.M.V. clerks with no understanding of complicated immigration laws."

Illegal = AGAINST the LAW! What is so d**n complicated about that?

"It's actually harmful to national security to deny licenses to people on the basis of immigration status."

Not if you deport them.

"typically ran $20,000 to $25,000 a year"

Wages no American will work for , huh?

Okay, I get it. This is another one of those stories where we are supposed to feel sorry for the illegals. I have a very hard time working up a whole lot of sympathy for those who circumvent our laws and take our jobs and our resources and who cheat OUR children and then when they get in trouble for it, we're supposed to make the trouble go away. I do feel a little sorry for the children born to these irresponsible lawbreakers. It isn't their fault and it's too bad that their lives are disrupted by their parents lack of thought and consideration for them. But it's a matter of priorities. We need to take care of own before we try to take care of the rest of the world.

Sigh. Where to begin?

Ms. Stock, who is also a lieutenant colonel in the military police of the Army Reserves, said there was a better chance of tracking a terrorist with a driver's license than one without.

So, naturally, terroists won't bother getting a license, like they didn't bother to learn how to land an aircraft.

Yet thousands of illegal immigrants denied driver's licenses will continue to drive, she said, and probably add to the number of hit-and-run accidents and uninsured drivers already on the road.

Has anyone actually proven this? Illegals with licenses won't hit and run but those without licenses will?
