Moving on wires now...

Excellent news. Should never have begun in the first place.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Nice to see common sense prevail every once in a blue moon.

RACISTS!!!
Sorry, I thought that was the natural reaction to things the GOP doesn't like.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

The question is....why in hell did they ever start?

About 5 years too late....But I suppose, better late than never.

'bout time!

[csvset]

Is someone up for reelection?

My fellow 'Mericans, I have done XYZ to make us safer. Vote for me.

Hopefully they will next stop issuing them vehicle tags.

Tennessee plates practically outnumber Virginia plates in this county once tomato season starts.

[Stark_GOP]

What about the ones already issued?

[sasafras]

Right on! Freepers rock - lets tell Bush and other RINOs we are not willing to sell our country to the lowest bidder. Seal our borders and take away all benefits to illegals.

Was there a special illegal immigrant drivers certificate or were they just not checking immigration status when you went in for a license?

If it's the first one, call me when they round up all those folks and send em home.

don't worry, New Jersey will be picking up the slack soon :-(

[pnz1]

Was this in response to the "driving school" that was selling licenses?

[RolandBurnam]

if the feds wont handle the problem, handle it on the state level.

REAL PROBLEM IS IRS ALLOWING TAX IDS IN LIEU OF SSN...

STOP THAT, YOU STOP THE PROBLEM!!

[spectre]

Relax, the one's from Tennessee will find their way across the state line to Arkansas. Trust me.

I would like to see a Federal statute making this illegal, except for people here legally - e.g. visa, passport, green card.

[LS]

Congrats. Finally, some spine, somewhere.

[kcbc2001]

And now, we await word about who's going to sue the state because illegals aren't getting their way anymore.

GOOD!
