But critics believe the policy will punish people whose only crime is seeking work and opportunity where it exists.

Of course entering the country illegally was no crime.

"They're pushing thousands of people to drive illegally and without insurance," said Ildefonso Carbajal, president of the Mexican Alliance and publisher of a bilingual newspaper called La Ola Latino Americana. Hm.. no matter how you spin it, illegal immigrants are, well, illegal. They are not, by definition, supposed to be here. So why should we let them drive, vote, or anything else? I'm not anti-immigration, but I am anti-illegal immigration.

Under the policy, new applicants for driver's licenses or state identification cards must provide extensive documentation establishing their identity and residency. The documents include proof of citizenship or of legal immigration status.

Dear Indiana, please send a copy of your policy to the DMV in California.

"They're doing the work that none of us wants," Carbajal said.

I am sick and tired of that line.

Did the same morons who passed the law that allows illegal aliens to get DL's here in Tennessee move to Indiana?

"Are we thinking, OK, they'll all go home now?" asked Rebecca Gascho, director of community services at LaCasa of Goshen Inc."

Well, that would work for me...

"Have we thought about that? What are we prepared to do?"

Since you asked Ms. Gascho, I'd suggest a) a greyhound bus headed back to the country of origin and b) enforcment on the borders.

Actually they crossed the border illegally, but maybe other than that...

Actually when someone drives illegally and without insurance, it is a personal decision to do so. Nobody forces anybody to violate these laws.
