Some illegal immigrants fear applying for licenses

CHICAGO (AP) — When Illinois' top political leaders touted a proposal to allow illegal immigrants to obtain driver's licenses, it was painted as public safety measure and had the backing of immigrant rights advocates, who deemed it a positive step in the fight for immigration reform.

But the idea has run into some resistance among illegal immigrants themselves.

For many of Illinois' estimated 250,000 undocumented residents of driving age, volunteering an address, photograph and birth certificate to a state database seems like a risk, possibly more than driving without a license.

"They will have my record, maybe one day they (authorities) will just stop me," said 19-year-old Faviola Villagomez, who was brought illegally to the U.S. from Mexico as a child. The Chicago college student said she'd be hesitant to apply because it could make her and her six siblings — none of whom are citizens — more easily identifiable for deportation.

Part of the problem is that they already have fake identification and have used that to get licenses under a different name. So, when they go to get licenses under their real names, the computers now run a photo match check to see if the same person has applied for licenses under different names. Voila, they get investigated for ID theft and have to answer to a judge about why they’ve done this. This happens in Indiana all the time when a former illegal gets legal.

But they like socialist hellholes! You ever been to a neighborhood transformed into a ghetto by illegals? It's ugly, but it's their ugly.

Some? As in three? Ha, none of them are scared of anything because they have real US citizens over a barrel.

The interesting thing is that they understand the principle that “whatever the government gives, they can also take away. ;)

Yes, and our dilemma is that while they can move back home if things go down the tube, we have to stay and pick up the pieces of a mess partly attributable to them.

They should just use their license from their home country. They don’t need a license from here.

....19-year-old Chicagoan, Mexican Faviola Villagomez, who was (cough) brought here illegally as a child---and is now a freeloading Chicago college student----said it could make her and her six siblings — none of whom are citizens — more easily identifiable for deportation.....

Habla again---ya'mean Senor Mayor Rhamos would actually deport all those non-English speaking Democrats registered "and voting"------again and again under multiple names? Which is how Ohaha got reelected.

========================================

The REAL problem is they are all riding the US gravy train using multiple identites the "impoverished latinos bought for several thousand dollars each. Each identity gets freebies by the carload----and is sucking off the backs of real Americans. And the suckers don't want to queer the profitable scam.

===============================================

As REAGANSSHINYHAIR insightfully posted above----Part of the problem is that they already have fake ID's that they used to get licenses under different names....which also allows them to vote. So, by getting licenses under their real names, state computers run a photo-match check to see if the same person has applied under different names. Voila, they get investigated for ID theft and have to answer to a judge---and get prosecuted under US law. This frequently happens in Indiana when a former illegal gets legal.

=====================================

NJ BERGEN RECORD CIRCA 2004---Pelcastre brothers, Angel and Jorge, Dallas, Texas, were a walking threat to US national security, expert document forgers who, for a few thousand dollars, could give anyone a new identity (many latinos establish multiple identities in order to ride the US gravy train).

The Texas brothers were a "one-stop shop" for a myriad of fake US documents, including birth certificates, Social Security cards, driver's licenses----for any state in the US------ passports and resident alien cards, said NJ state police.

The Texas brothers turned a NJ hotel room into a business office and were readying a massive cache of fake Social Security cards for delivery to a local NJ identity broker. Officers happened upon two cars bearing Texas plates in a NJ hotel parking lot.

The Texas brothers were followed to a NJ office supply store nearby where they purchased computer supplies. Officers then followed the Texans to a NJ storage facility in Secaucus, NJ, where the Texans loaded several boxes into a car. One of them stood lookout. After a search, police recovered laminating sheets with built-in security features, pages of blank documents waiting for fake names and information, finished documents, computers and software to create the fake IDs.

All told, the haul was worth about $500,000 on the street when sold to "impoverished illegals." Police also recovered $6,000 in cash, which was the first payment from a NJ fake document broker for a shipment of 500 phony Social Security cards. ####
