New Jersey Assemblyman Joseph Vas today is expected to introduce a proposal to create a ``New Jersey Driving Privilege'' card.
The document is essentially a driver's license for undocumented immigrants.
The bill from the Perth Amboy Democrat is similar to laws in about a dozen other states.
It has won praise from advocates who say many of New Jersey's approximately 300-thousand illegal immigrants are driving anyway -- making sure they pass a test is good for public safety.
The initiative also aims to get around the pending federal ``Real ID'' program.
That program -- starting in 2008 -- will require state motor vehicle departments to verify the legal residency of driver's license applicants.

Stand corrected, but with thousands coming over the border annually, I fail to see how the number 11, mil can continue to stay the same...
Thats exactly right. Even now there are extra charges for auto insurance to cover you if the other driver does not have insurance. Many people don't understand that governments don't 'make money'. Their money comes for taxes on the working man and the working women. - LOL
