The State of texas should be held liable for any damages created by persons driving under this Horse crap law.
Martinez should be held personally liable as well.

I'm all for giving illegals cards.....make them glow in the dark.....so that they will be easy to spot.... so we can grab them, take their shoes and push them back over the border.

THEY DO NOT WANT LICENSES.
They think that this is their home country. They think we stole this land from them. They are not going to pay even if they did get a ticket and they will not go to court if they say they will.
GET A GRIP.

I fail to see how Mr. Martinez can be "so sure" that addresses provided for said licenses will be accurate. That's beside the point. The truth is that Martinez and his ilk fear a backlash from voters. It's not about accuracy or honesty. It's about pandering.

"If an illegal gets pulled over and gets a ticket, then what do we do with that," Martinez said. "How can we enforce the law and how can we get them to pay for that ticket? How can we go and find that person." That's a easy answer!.. they can pay for it with their California Well's Fargo Credit Card they have just been issued!!!!!

Hey Martinez, here's a novel idea. If you pull over an illegal, and find that he's an ILLEGAL, SEND HIM HOME! Geeeze, is this rocket science or what?

Gee, since we're going to abandon our system of laws since we can't fight all the illegals, let's make it legal for convicted murderers and robbers to own guns, allow pedophiles to work in daycare, recruit drug addicts to the DEA . . . . . .
Who comes up with these stupid ideas, anyway???

This proves that some legislators are dumb.
To: laotzu
this law would require that they have driving skills and follow the rules of the road. How in the world can they follow the rules of the road if they can't speak/understand english?!?

State Representative Armando Martinez, who represents the city of Weslaco, on the Rio Grande, says his measure would require that the Texas Department of Public Safety, which issues drivers licenses, accept the 'Matricula Consular' card as legal identification in issuing a license. "If an illegal gets pulled over and gets a ticket, then what do we do with that," Martinez said. "How can we enforce the law and how can we get them to pay for that ticket? How can we go and find that person." Still in his Third World banana republic thinking mode.
Got any other bright ideas, Generalissimo Martinez?

I'm following this logic.(they're doing it anyway, so lets keep track of 'em)
Give the junkies pharmacist's licenses: they can self-prescribe and we will know who is using what.
Give the rapists and child molesters licenses to practice phychiatry: they can just make a report.
Give the robbers IRS badges: ETC ETC ETC

"A person that would have that type of drivers license would have to have a passport, a second form of identification, something of that nature," he said."
Tell me how an illegal immigrant would have a legitimate passport? Me thinks this could be a *sticking point*.

All this chatter is OK - however - the definition of the term illegal is still just that - ILLEGAL.
But whatever is done - don't do anything too fast - must get the freeway contracts that DOT has farmed out taken care of first.
