Mich. Denies Illegal Immigrants Licenses

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan will no longer let illegal immigrants get driver's licenses, a practice just seven other states continue to allow.

Michigan Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, who oversees the motor vehicle department, announced the new policy Monday and said it takes effect Tuesday.

The new policy also prohibits people who are legal but not permanent U.S. residents from getting licenses. Legislation to allow those on temporary work or student visas to get licenses is pending in the Legislature.

The change is aimed at complying with an opinion issued last month by Attorney General Mike Cox, who said granting licenses to illegal immigrants is inconsistent with federal law. Opinions by the attorney general's office are legally binding on state agencies and officers unless reversed by the courts.

Dims will not be amused.  Too bad there's no plan in place yet to collect all those already issued.

I feel certain that the state/local ACLU chapter is having a collective hissy-fit right now.

Honestly, the way this law is worded upsets me.  It doesn't allow legal non-immigrants (students, temporary workers, etc.) to get licenses either.  Why are people here legally being punished as well as the ones who broke the law?

Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
