Minnesota to Grant Driver's Licenses to Illegals...?

"Senate panel passed a bill on Monday that would let illegal immigrants get a Minnesota driver's license, the most recent development in a push at the Capitol to train and insure more drivers who aren't U.S. citizens."

That means a Minnesota drivers license is worthless as a valid ID since the illegals frequently enter the US under aliases. US citizens have to produce a slew of identification to get a license including a birth certificate, social security card, marriage license and even a passport.

"The Senate Transportation and Public Safety Committee endorsed the bill on a 10-7 vote -- with all Democrats in favor and all Republicans opposing the bill -- to ease the state's restrictions on driver's licenses. A House committee endorsed a similar bill last week. The Democrats pushing the measure say the change would make Minnesota roads safer: If the state starts to regulate illegal immigrants behind the wheel, they'll have to pass a test and could more easily buy automobile insurance."

Will the illegals also be exempted from having insurance on their vehicles now that they can have a license to drive?

Watch car insurance rates soar in Minnesota.

But Republicans expressed concern that the change could lead to unintended consequences, such as illegal immigrants using their new state IDs to register to fraudulently vote on Election Day.

Ya think?

Unintended? Hardly... that is quite clearly the intent.

Next thing, we’ll see them voting... oh, wait.. they already are.

I wish we had better people making the decisions that effect the rest of us.
