Do we really want everyone to be required to have a passport to vote!

No. But very few countries in this world allow voting without valid photo ID proving citizenship. A drivers license SHOULD be enough proof, but that forces issuing states to only issue licenses to U.S. Citizens. I support that too.

So now it comes out. No more resident aliens? No more people here working towards their citizenship LEGALLY? So under your idea, that would allow pretty much ONLY naturalized citizens to have licenses. That's a VERY bad idea, and somehow I'm NOT surprised.

There are better and EASIER ways of proving ones citizenship (Birth certificates anyone?) instead of this way.

A DL does not prove citizenship and it never will.

Even if a State requires a birth certificate to get a DL, the DL does not prove citizenship.

BTW, the birth certificate is the most fraudulently used citizenship document in the US, so this bill won't stop voter fraud.

Sorry

So legal immigrants, people who follow the rules to come here properly should not be granted drivers liscences? Green card holders, for example, would not be issued drivers liscences? A drivers liscence may be ID, but it will never be proof of citizenship. In FL, immigrants have their liscences connected to their immigration status, and drivers are segregated into citizens vs non citizens. Illegals can't get liscences.
