Immigrants get warning on driver's licenses

[R Glass]

LOS ANGELES (AP) — While tens of thousands of immigrants living in the United States illegally are preparing to apply for a long-sought driver's license in California starting Jan. 2, others are being urged to think twice.

Immigrant advocates say the vast majority should be able to get licenses without trouble, but they want 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.

The same applies to immigrants with a prior deportation order or criminal record because federal immigration officials and law enforcement can access Department of Motor Vehicles data during an investigation..........

Probably be easier to sneak across the border than to obtain citizenship in Mexico... and you don't "look" Mexican, so you wouldn't get any free $hit anyway... LOL   I live on SS - come up with something we can all use..  :-)

I'm thinking about "Trying" to get citizenship in Mexico, then sneak back across the border. I haven't worked in a couple of months and could use some free $hit!

Of course, nobody wanted to admit there was a problem, when it came to voter ID or the possibility of voter fraud, because then a lot of the illegals would not have gotten to vote.  Now that the election is over and Democrats lost anyway, it's okay to come out and admit that illegals may have used someone else's SS# to get an ID "and" they had the money to pay for it.  

So now, they're being warned to see an attorney about this and you can bet your bottom $$ that we're going to pay their legal fees.

Let someone enter any other country in the world and do what they do, here in the U.S. and see how long they stay out of prison.

I don't think we are kidding anyone.  I think some people have just bought in to the notion that people are too poor to do anything, even though those poor people are doing the very things they are supposed to be too poor to do.

With the Voter ID thing.  My argument is that we don't need a "Voter ID" if you have a valid drivers license.  Now, a faction of the government that has said "this isn't happening" or "is happening to such a small extent" has gone as far as to say "please speak to an attorney since you used someone else's SS#".

Not long ago, they were telling the nation to "quit believing Fox News" and now they are basically saying that Fox News was on to something, bigger than any liberal would lead you to believe, and.... the government will help you fix this lawlessness.

We really are a nice country.  We just give people stuff.

Didn't think about the Voter ID argument. Good Point. Who are we kidding? Our Tax Dollars will end up covering all of their expences anyway.

I've also been told that so many of these people are too poor to get a valid ID (when it comes to voting) but in this situation they apparently have the money?  And the kicker is, they want you these folks to speak to a lawyer first if they've obtained an ID by using someone elses SS#.... that too was something I was told just didn't happen.

Agreed, I love how it can work both ways.
My state doesn't even check to see if you have insurance which I thought very stupid when I moved here.
My "old" state asked for name of insurance company, agent, phone # and policy number.  I don't get that.  
Thanks for sharing R

I've been reminded time and time again that illegals don't use false names or SS#'s when it comes down to voter fraud... so I am trying to wonder why the DMV would make a big stink about this?  It just doesn't add up.
