You do know we're only one of three states that crank out driver's licenses to illegal aliens, don't you?

Ahhhh, yes. Thanks to our fringe left, open borders government, we not only allow illegal aliens to have in-state tuition, we issue them driver's licenses!

DOL tightens rules for new driver's licenses to stop fraud

One of only three states where illegal immigrants can still obtain driver's licenses, Washington is moving to tighten the rules.

Beginning Monday, the state Department of Licensing (DOL) will require people without a Social Security number who are seeking a new driver's license to provide proof they actually live here.

While a few in that category may be U.S. citizens and legal residents, most
are illegal immigrants.

Washington is alone with New Mexico and Utah in issuing driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. And officials say an alarming number of out-of-state residents without Social Security numbers have been obtaining licenses here in recent years — this year more than double what it was three years ago.

Officials believe many of these licenses are fraudulent, issued to people who aren't moving here but who say they are because they can no longer renew their driver's licenses in the states they live in.

"People are coming in with licenses about to expire from another state," said Brad Benfield, spokesman for the department. "This is putting pressure on our services... "

A driver's license is the most basic form of identification, used for everything from applying for government services to boarding domestic flights.

The licensing department issues around 1 million first-time and renewed licenses a year.

Man, it just makes me all warm and fuzzy when I stop to consider how much we do to actually encourage illegal aliens to come here.
