Drivers Licenses Denied To Illegals In Michigan

The MI Attorney General's opinion reverses the trend towards issuing licenses to illegals to 'get them out of the shadows,' aka 'grant them virtual citizenship.'

[AG Mike Cox] said "there can be no doubt that a rational basis exists for denying driver's licenses to illegal aliens."

Cox cited national security concerns, but the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan contends his opinion could actually make the state less secure.

"It drives them further underground," executive director Kary Moss said of illegal immigrants. "If they have licenses, then the state knows about them and has information about them. If there's no form of state recognition, it's essentially a much more invisible population."

Oh, boo-frickin'-hoo, Mary. All law enforcement actions and the public policies supporting them drive undesirable behavior 'underground.' That's kind of what we want, isn't it?

Mike Cox opinion stands unless a court overturns it. I dare say that Mike Cox on fire.
Ahem.
