Rather than call it Mexifornia, we need to call it something more Oprah-esque. Calico comes to mind.

And what shall we call Tennessee?

TENNESSEE DRIVER'S LICENSE STATIONS OVERRUN BY ILLEGAL ALIENS

Tennessee in earlier years allowed illegal aliens to obtain a driver's license with a translated birth certificate from their country of birth. Then, the law was changed to state that no one could receive a driver's license without a valid social security number.

This caused a huge problem. Since thousands of illegal aliens have flocked to Tennessee in recent years, that meant a large number of unlicensed drivers on the roads (also uninsured). So, the cry went up from immigrant (illegal) advocates for a change in the law. Just recently, Tennessee again began allowing illegal aliens to obtain driver's licenses with documentation as to identity, but, without the requirement for a valid social security number.

Almost every Tennessee driver's license office now has lines cueing up at around 4-5 a.m. as thousands of illegals previously denied a driver's license are trying once again. Also, they are required to take the written test in English which is also causing a lot of repeat business for the driver's license offices. Sources also say that illegal aliens are coming from other states which still have the old "valid social security number" law.

This does seem to validate the claim by many that the census undercounted the number of illegal aliens in the United States. Every time an amnesty or driver's license situation like this arises, the numbers are incredible.
