While tens of thousands of immigrants living in the country illegally are gearing up to apply for a long-sought driver's license in California starting Jan. 2, others are being urged to think twice.

anyone who previously obtained a driver's license under a false name or someone else's Social Security number to speak first with a lawyer, fearing a new application could trigger a fraud investigation.

To all of you American citizen who have been victims of identity fraud and have suffered the consequences we have two words for you. Muchas Gracias!

I hope they are also gearing up for a massive increase in car accidents, auto insurance rates and identity theft. - Read: Tax increases to pay for this.

Mexico has conquered with firing a shot.

So... automobile insurance underwriters are being forced to write policies for illegals? What sort of premiums has Dear Leader set for them?

[hal ogen]

“Migrants”?????? Aren’t they more accurately described as “illegal alien invaders”? I’d like to describe them all as “Deported”.

[unixfox]

Don’t you mean without firing a shot?

But you would be correct.

All States should immediately suspend reciprocity with California in the matter of Driver’s Licenses.

[PGR88]

Someone needs to put the word out - when the political winds change, everyone with an illegal drivers license is marking themselves for immediate deportation.

[BenLurkin]

Yes.

That is what I meant to say.

[samadams2000]

They should have license plates ending in BNR so we know what we are dealing with.

California REALLY needs to gear up for all of these people using their newfound identities to apply for subsidized health care.

I wonder what this does to CA residents uninsured/underinsured motorist rates.

Does California have Motor Voter? If so, these Illegals will also become registered voters when they become licensed drivers. That’s even more dangerous than them being on the road.

[artichokegrower]

How soon we forget 9-11. Any foreign citizen can now get a California driver’s license, go down to any airport, show the official form of identification and get on a plane.

That's the point of allowing the invasion!

[Huskrrrr]

That “cha-ching” is the sound of our insurance premiums going up.

[Vinnie]

Motor Voter....

Driver licenses are just a way to identify people who need to be deported. Spread the word.
