Targeting Illegals: Blunt Proposes “New” Law to Deny Drivers Licenses
Filed Tuesday, November 27, 2007 at 12:00 PM
Governor Matt Blunt stopped by St. Louis police headquarters Monday to announce his latest step to pull up the welcome mat for illegal immigrants in Missouri.
Blunt proposed making it illegal for “illegals” to get a drivers license. Blunt’s Democratic challenger, Attorney General Jay Nixon, wasted no time in pointing out that such a law already exists.
In fact, when questioned about the need for this “new” law, Blunt admitted that of the 110 people arrested since he ordered state Highway Patrol officers to check the immigration status of everyone they pull over, only one was found to have a drivers license.
