Colorado to issue driver’s licenses to immigrants (in the country illegally)
Associated Press ^ | Aug. 1, 2014 2:12 AM EDT | Ivan Moreno

Colorado will begin issuing driver’s licenses and identification cards to immigrants Friday regardless of their legal status, underscoring a sea change in a state that less than a decade ago passed strict immigration enforcement laws.

Now, thousands of immigrants are waiting to get cards they hope will add a degree of legitimacy to their residency in Colorado. About 9,500 people are signed up for appointments through the next 90 days to get the documents, with more getting scheduled every day. Both people in the country illegally and those who have temporary legal status will qualify.

The demand for the licenses and identification cards has been tremendous, with the state’s website for appointments crashing at one point because of traffic, and immigrant advocates urging officials to add more locations where people can go. So far, appointments are being handled at only five locations—Denver, Aurora, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, and Grand Junction. …

Was this law passed before or after the dope legalization?

I thought there was some kind of national law that birth status had to be proved by 2017 before one could get a DL.

Looks like Obama’s attitude of “le loi, c’est moi” carries down to his sycophant state rulers.

I wonder if those racist driving tests will be waived for the illegals?

Sure, if they want to “expedite” the “backlog” due to the “demand”.

I guarantee there will be a lawsuit filed soon (if it hasn’t been already) claiming that the higher fee for licenses for illegals is racist and discriminatory.

CO people just can’t wait to collect driver licenses fees wherever they can net them.

CO people have done so much for so long to damage themselves; I think this will continue forever.

Sure, only for the revenue to go back into the pockets of these “act of love/immigrant” types via government “benefits”.

It ain't about collecting fees.
It's about STEALING ELECTIONS ! ! !
And 'RATS CAN'T STEAL ELECTIONS WITHOUT ILLEGAL VOTES !

Colorado is just the latest of 10 states that 'RATS have duped the voters into putting government Identification Documents into the hands of ILLEGALS so they can show them at the voting booths.
How much STUPIDER can these legal citizens of these 10 states be ?

Natural citizens must jump through hoops to get a license, but an illegal
cuts through the line without any identification. Motor Voter!

So now that Obama has set the precedent for breaking the law
what is left but for States to break their own, while everyone is stoned.

Does anybody really care anymore? The USA is going down without even a whimper.

“Looks like Colorado has been completely Californicated.”

I saw this coming back in the early 80’s when the Kalifornia masses migrated to Colorado to get away from the problems they had created and lived with in CA. The dumb asses only brought their same problems to CO and now its happening all over again. Glad we move out a long time ago. CO WAS a great place back then, today, NADA!!!!

claiming that the higher fee for licenses for illegals is racist and discriminatory.

That makes no sense, illegals are being given loaded debit cards and EBT cards.
Any money they have is our Tax dollars. Here in Dallas I see them shopping
for clothing, refrigerators at Home Depot and other items from local shops
using those cards. They do not speak one word of English and immediately
you can see they're not even Mexicans, but rather persons from deeper south.

The report on consumer spending is false by not taking into account of the
Millions possibly Billions being handed out to illegals. Tax dollars
artificially propping up the economy.


All Americans had better be on alert, when that money runs out our Economy will crash.
All the Federal money propping our Market and economy is a ruse, and has been done
to keep the economy artificially going. It's also being done to force the Repubs
into the same quagmire (Brilliant Move) or crash the economy if the GOP takes over.
It's a plan set in motion starting in 2008, but planned out for at least the last 20-years.

Oh, and another thing. Once the Dollar collapses (And it Will) WWIII is almost
inevitable. Every other country will follow and the uproar will be deafening.

The world economy will collapse, no country will be untouched.
