A group of illegal immigrants is suing the state of Oregon to overturn a voter-approved initiative that denied them driver's licenses.
The lawsuit, brought by five illegal immigrants, comes after Oregonians passed Measure 88 last year with a strong two-thirds majority. Thirty-five of Oregon's 36 counties voted against licenses for undocumented residents, as did every congressional district in the state, most of which are represented by Democrats.
But the lawsuit alleges Measure 88 is unconstitutional because it "arbitrarily" denies driving privileges based on membership in a "disfavored minority group." It alleges Oregon voters were motivated by "animus toward persons from Mexico and Central America."

It’s well established that you need to be a valid resident of the state the license is acquired in. With states having the authority to determine the meaning of “valid”
I don’t see where a law stating that in order to be a valid resident of the state the license-seeker needs to be in the country legally is a problem. The converse is true as well, the criteria for a license being a state perogative.
Is it? My son has a California driver license showing a Nevada address.
If I hadn’t seen it, I wouldn’t believe it either.
And as I said, YMMV.
Ok, you’re right - I misspoke. It’s up to the state to set the criteria. Being a valid resident of the state is one criteria that can be applied.

Standing? We don’t need no effing standing.
It looks like Barry’s Wetbacks are already taking over. The first thing the freeloading, thieving bastards do is sue the Oregon voters. They are “assimilating” very quickly. FUBO!
What part of law breaking illegal border crossing alien from another country does the court not get?
We truly are living in a Bizzarro world right now. Up is down. Left is, well, left is still left but right is wrong. Inside is now outside.
And last but not least; illegal is now somehow, under obummer, legal. Twisted!!
This deserves its own thread. Pure insanity.
The Libs have so emboldened these creeps, they not only do not think of themselves as illegal, nor even "equal", they now think they're SUPERIOR to us. This is why only a no-holds-barred putting them back over the border and in their place (PERMANENTLY on the south side of the border) will stop this insanity.
Once again, ICE can’t be found.
That being said, my preference is anyone operating a motor vehicle on public roads certifies that they can operate a motor vehicle in accordance with traffic laws.

Polls closing
Who came up with that phrase? Sounds like 0bama and the DNC.
I’d say they have no standing.
“Head ‘em up! Move ‘em out!”
Oregon ping
Exactly. But no one ever listens to us...
Are there any English or secondary English speaking countries that enforce their damned borders and have an actual process for immigration that values the worth the immigrant to their Society and CULTURE?

Mexico has such a policy.
There’s a special election for Governor this year. Looks like the GOP candidates are weak.
