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.

Actually, I don't think we really disagree... rape is about all of the above.

The point I was making was in reference of the Left's efforts to disconnect rape from sex entirely, ("rape is not about sex"), rather than place it in it's proper context as you have here. Their agenda is rather insidious... once the word "rape" is disconnected from the concept of physical sexual violation, the Left is free to call anything "patriarchal" a form of rape.

So, "rape is not about sex" becomes a launching pad for feminist misogyny.

In the same way, the Left is dishonestly trying disconnect immigration (and ILLEGAL immigration) from the issue of rewarding lawlessness...

From the article:

"There's a lot of misinformation out there, and we're trying to rectify that," said David Lubell, community outreach coordinator for Latino Memphis Connection.

"We think if people understand the whole story, they won't be threatened at all."

...Lubell said Tennesseans should think about the children.

Pathetic.

"Do you want your children crossing the street when they could be at risk from a driver who doesn't know the rules of the road?

"It's not an immigration issue. It's a safety issue."

He's a liar.

And if the Left successfully disconnects drivers' licenses for illegals from immigration, then oppostion to it will be sucessfully smeared as racist.
