but Illinois has had a major scandal re turning people loose to drive semi's whose licenses were paid for and who could not read or speak English. We natural born citizens could never get away with this crap.

Pathetic isn't it? This crap use to occur only in places like California and Texas. Its everywhere now.

Don't know which state you live in, but the sad fact is that the Secretary of States Office in Illinois has been corrupt since I was a child--I am now 58. You would think that if someone in government really cared, they could do something about it. They will occasionally do a sting operation and prosecute a few people and then things go back to "normal."

Sounds like Tennessee may become the winner of offering drivers licenses, comfort and support to illegal aliens and to Islamic terrorists, often there, they are the same.

This is just the tip of the iceberg re giving licenses to illegal aliens. Of course what political party do 99.999999999999999999999999% of Illegal aliens vote for and vote often for?

Not only do illegals get licenses, if they meet a few minimum reuirements, they get free healthcare through TennCare which is based on the Hillary Clinton proposed national system. Maybe our idiotic leaders will ctach on when we get about 50 million people crammed into our state all looking for freeebies like free driver's licenses and free healthcare.

One does not advance to second base without having arrived safely on first.

If this was a baseball game, as soon as an illegal alien stepped into the batter's box before the first pitch is thrown the Ump would declare a home run and tell the illegal to round the bases.

Maybe this is something Tennessee could put in their promotional brochures. “Tennessee--Home To Terrorists Worldwide"

Four states, Arkansas, South Carolina, Florida, and Connecticut, have already decided that a valid Tennessee driver's license is NOT an acceptable form of ID specifically because of this stupid law. Yet the RINO governor and the DemoNAZIs who control the General Assembly have so far refused to even acknowledge there is a problem!

If there is not a massive overturning of power in this state this year, we are doomed.

My question exactly. Don't know how many Illionoisans we have on this thread, but Illinois has had a major scandal re turning people loose to drive semi's whose licenses were paid for and who could not read or speak English. We natural born citizens could never get away with this crap.

Ahh Yes. The famous George Ryan money for license scandal. Notice how the Feds never did bust him for it? His penalty was that he couldn't run for re-election. Never mind that Ryan's criminal activities led to numerous highway casualties caused by illegal aliens that had no business driving a truck or, for that matter, being in our country to begin with.

The thing that separates Illinois corruption from other states is that Illinois corruption is so well organized by Daley’s machine and the power brokers inside in the Illinois GOP. And our politicians take pride in that.

He's glib, because the gov backs these driver's license for illegals.

And he'll back the profs against the registration of legal aliens, wait and see. The profs don't want to upset their foreign students...to much $$ involved. GREEDY monsters all of them.

HOW HIGH UP DID THE DL's for sale go??????????? Smith couldn't have been acting alone. In ILL the CDL scandal went clear to the Sec of State and the current rino gov.

The General Assembly last year passed a law making it unnecessary for immigrants applying for a driver's license to show a Social Security number.

Why not? They should be required to show their visas and passports also.

About as smart as saying that rape isn't about sex.

Well, I have to disagree about that. Rape isn't about sex. Rape is about power and violence. It involves taking control of a woman's body against her will. It takes her dignity and self-assurance away by reducing her to an object of sexual abuse, humiliation and degradation.

You guys can sign all the petitions and go vote all you want to. Have at it.

It wont change the fact that our own federal government, including the Bush administration, is supporting and encouraging this titanic invasion of millions. Just like the last 6 administrations. This has been going on for many years.

This invasion of millions is no accident. Its an obvious agenda and its working. The population is less educated, ignorant, and will work at or near slave wages, and not make waves for the employer and the corrupt politicians stand to receive more votes.

Virginia, Georgia, Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, Illinois, Utah, etc ect, You aint seen nothing yet. Trust me. This invasion was for years, isolated to California, and Texas, not so now. Its gone nationwide in a *big* way.

As our so-called leaders and career politicians in DC stand treasonously silent in the face of this massive invasion that is completely destroying our national sovereignty and security.

Two typical Tennessee liberal Democrats and an official with the Tennessee Department of Public Safety are taken hostage, by illegal alien terrorists, at the Tennessee Department of Motor Vehicles office.

The terrorists inform the hostages that they're to be killed, but they can choose from among three different ways to die. The hostages can choose to be shot, set on fire in their car or be injected with HIV and die a slow, painful death.

The first liberal chooses to be shot, so bang he's dead.

The second liberal chooses to be set on fire in her car (must have been from Memphis) and, whoosh, up she goes in a ball of flames.

The Tennessee authorities will later take a whole week to determine the fire wasn't accidental.

The official from the Tennessee Department of Public Safety chooses the HIV injection. The terrorists inject him and he starts laughing in their faces. The terrorists give him a puzzled look. He says, "Go ahead, give me another injection". The terrorists give him a second injection and he's still laughing. The terrorists can't figure the guy out, because they're certain he's going to die a horrible death.

The Tennessee Department of Public Safety official regards the terrorists with contempt and says, "You terrorists are so stupid. You can't kill me with that HIV, I'm wearing a condom."

The terrorists give each other, momentarily, puzzled looks and then throw the clever official inside his car and set him on fire.

The Tennessee authorities have yet to declare arson as the cause of death, since the official's remains were found to contain such a high concentration of HIV.

The local DMV office was re-opened, immediately, so as not to unduly, inconvenience any illegal aliens.

Patriotic American voters need to get out of the mindset that they must vote either Democratic or Republican because these two major political parties are the only "legitimate" choices. Neither of these institutionalized parties seems to give a hoot about the voters. The Democratic and Republican parties are each pushing forward with their respective agendas and they really don't care what we voters think or how we feel about it.

Both the Democratic and Republican parties look at elections as simply a formality in which party loyalists vote for their party's candidate and both ambivalent and disgusted voters tend to approach voting with a "vote for the lesser of two evils" philosophy. As long as the majority of American voters keep thinking and voting this way, major problems such as illegal immigration will never be resolved.

The time has come for each patriotic American voter who is "mad as hell" at ineffective government to seriously consider voting for a third party candidate because our current two party political system is no longer working for us.

The United States today is going through one of the most corrupt periods in its long history. We, the people of the United States, created a brand new government from scratch 226 years ago. The time is now upon us to do some major tinkering to get our government working right again. The American voters collectively have a great amount of power, but unless we start to use it wisely and effectively at election time, it does us no good to possess it.

I so much agree. Thank you for your plain talk.

Keep an eye on Grover Norquist, he's one of the biggest problems in the political world. (See replies)

Grass roots, politicians differ on immigration

"Republican strategist Grover Norquist has a ready explanation for the success of the well-organized and well-connected pro-immigration coalition against the public preference expressed in polls.

"Intensity trumps preference," Norquist said. Few Americans make voting decisions based on immigration policies, he said, so the issue has little practical political effect. He drew another moral from the story: "Politicians pay more attention to elections than they do to polls."

I'm seeing this now in a big way in the Chicagoland area. In just the last year it has become quite noticeable. Illegal Aliens all over the place. You are correct. The titanic invasion of illegal aliens is going nationwide. Everyone sees it but few are willing to talk about it openly.

I remember that story. There are many more such incidents that have gone largely unreported.

I read that article. It turned by stomach. Norquist is a scumbag that would do any twisted deal for a buck including protecting Muslims with close ties to terrorism. He defines well the sickness in the Republican Party.
