States are threatening to challenge in court and even disobey new orders from Congress to start issuing more uniform driver's licenses and verify the citizenship or legal status of people getting them. There is concern among some states that they'll get stuck with a large tab to pay for implementing the new rules

Sounds like a legitimate Federalist objection.

and that getting a driver's license will become a bigger headache for law-abiding residents.

I went with my son when he obtained his first license. He needed a birth certificate, a Social Security card, a picture ID, and proof of residence. What more is going to be required under the new laws? This objection I discredit.

Well if your son could have shown a consular matricula from the Mexican Consulate, he wouldn't have needed all those documents in Illinois.
