Buel Young, spokesman for the Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration, said that based on a state Attorney General's opinion issued a few years ago, transportation officials don't ask whether a person applying for a license is in the United States legally.

Well, there you go. There is no state in the country where you have show more paperwork and go through more crap to get your driver's license. But you don't have to be in the country legally. Maryland is disgraceful sometimes.

Maryland is disgraceful sometimes

"Sometimes", what an understatement. Wasn't it Maryland where the illegal, who was a known drunk, killed a marine home on leave and the only reason he wasn't in jail was because some cop was to sorry to file the correct paper work???
