Perez, 29, doesn't know it, but under current law she's eligible for a license; all that's required is passing the driver's test and proof of residency in the state. Even if the Yakima farm worker did know, she'd be hesitant to apply because that would bring her a little too close to the system.

Perez, like so many illegal immigrants, prefers to stay in the shadows.

They are the fly in the ointment for House Bill 1026, which would require proof of citizenship or legal residency for a regular driver's license. Those without such proof would get a different driver's license than citizens and legal residents. The idea is to keep undocumented immigrants from using driver's licenses to get voter registration cards and social services such as welfare and food stamps, said the bill's sponsor, state Rep. Mike Armstrong, R-Wenatchee.

"You still get to take the test, and you still get a driver's license," he said. "It's just stamped, 'Not valid for identification purposes.'"

Instead of a "second-class stamp" the only thing that should be given to illegals is a first-class foot in the out of our country.

I fully agree. The behavior of a few greedy, lawless corporate masters and government officials, coupled with the racist groups that they sponsor with our tax dollars is what continues to emboldened the arrogance of illegals, and perpetuate this mess.

They shouldn’t be here, and are not entitled to the privilege of driving on our streets, or anything else. It’s time to clean house; not look for options for leaving it in disarray.

It's way past time to clean house. The destruction that they have caused in this country is immeasurable and in many instances America will remain irretrievable.

This is yet another measure of Illegal Aliens want of free services. If there isn't some type of govt freebie attached to it they turn their noses up at it.

Buys Alanboy395 a Shaquille O'Neal sized boot to do the deed

Hell: O'Neal is also a reserve deputy under Sheriff Joe as well as being a Phx Suns basketball player.
