Item: Legal Driver, Unlawful Citizen:One Yakima lawmaker wants to keep illegal immigrants from using their state ID cards as green cards/Nicholas Deshais, Inlander

More Info: (Washington state Sen. Jim Honeyford, R-Yakima Valley) is the primary sponsor of a bill in the Washington Legislature that would require immigrants to prove they’re in the country legally before obtaining a driver’s license or identity card from the state. Eleven other senators have lined up behind Honeyford, including two Democrats, both from the Puget Sound area. Other people think Honeyford is trying to write national immigration policy through our state’s Department of Licensing.

Question: Should illegal immigrants be allowed to get a driver's license?
