The bill was supposed to implement the recommendations of the 9/11 commission, among which was the securing of documentation for federal identification. Some states give drivers licenses to illegal aliens, and seven of the 9/11 hijackers obtained licenses through illegal alien loopholes, and boarded planes with them.
Sensenbrenner's provison would have disallowed the use of drivers licenses from the states that issue them to illegals for federal ID purposes, like boarding airplanes.
Seems reasonable.
I completely agreee that drivers licenses should not be given to illegal aliens. Of course not. They're illegal.
Seems to me, though, that this bill has lots more to accomplish without getting so granular. Seems like maybe they're trying to do too much with one bill.
