Illinois House Votes To Give Illegals Licenses

According to the Illinois House immigrants who don't have social security numbers should still be able to get drivers licenses.

Here's the deal, though, according to current law, you don't need to have a Social Security Number to get a drivers license. You see, if you are a legal temporary immigrant who wants a license, all you need is a letter for the SSA stating you aren't eligible for a number due to your temporary status (See rules here).

That means legal immigrants aren't affected by the lack of an SSN to get a drivers license. That leaves one group who would need a license, but can't meet the current requirements, illegal aliens.

So, thanks legislators, for deciding that the best thing to do for illegals is reward them.
