NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Tennessee Department of Safety has announced it has quit issuing driving certificates for illegal immigrants.

A good start would be to come here legally.

"But I kinda wonder what damage is unseen from it. Wonder if we'll ever know..."

That's the double-edged sword (or scimitar, in this case) being swung around here...

Much of this war is, by necessity, being fought in the shadows and while I'm grateful that some or even lots of activity is being preempted before the public ever hears about it....the public never hears about, and so the type of uproar or outrage needed to get our legislators to take decisive action never drowns out the pro (illegal) immigration lobby and enemy-rights activists. By contrast, if and when something does happen, we'll all hear about it...well, those of us who didn't get killed.

Every Tennessee public servant should hang their head in red-faced shame, scorn and humiliation that this revocation did not take place on September 12, 2001, and it took them this long to pull their heads out of their asses.

"Everytime an illegal gets a government service, votes or commits a crime, a citizen is disenfranchized."

Yes. On a major highway, the noteworthy driving abilities of an illegal allowed him to jump the median in his SUV, and almost kill my husband in the collision.

They should quit issuing license's for Tenn. natives. Worse drivers bar none.

Who needs illegals?? We have lots of dead people and nuts that think that they do not have to vote in their districts.

[Old Professer]

What difference will all that make when the republicans refuse to put up a recognizable candidate?

If Fred Thompson could be talked into running, Bredesen would be dead meat.

Holy spitballs Batman...Common sense takes charge! And someone ACTUALLY knows the meaning of the word ILLEGAL...

The Tennessee Department of Safety has announced it has quit issuing driving certificates for illegal immigrants.

Probably because everyone who wanted one now has one.

[SmoothTalker]

Quit? Why the hell were they doing it in the first place?

[jw777]

exactly what i said.

[jw777]

ditto.

[eyedigress]

They will be honored until they expire, then proof of a legal right to be here must be presented for renewal.

bttt

[wardaddy]

bout time.....yellow dogs

[GOPologist]

What took them so long?

[jragan2001]

I'll have to turn on 99.7 WWTN's audio stream now to listen to Phil Valentine!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

What took them so long?

They were worried about a Bush veto?

[rikkir]

That's ok, they can still come to NC and get all they want.
"Tax Hike" Mike Easley, has seen to that.
If they want all the big gov. bene's they can come on down to Mecklenburg County, "Where we're givin' away the store". "That's right you can have free housing, free food, free rent, free medical care, with no questions asked, as long as you don't have your green card".
Remember the County Commissioners say "We're Stealin".(from taxpayers)

[who knows what evil?]

Worse drivers bar none...

Amen. Great roads, terrible drivers. Hang on for your life on I-40 in Knoxville.
